What was said

"12,800 years ago, long before writing, a village on the Euphrates called Abu Hurayra burned the same way. The same melt glass, the same diamond dust, the same iron beads. Temperatures past 3,600 degrees. Nobody retracted Abu Hurayra."

The ancient village of Abu Hurayra on the Euphrates River shows identical destruction evidence to Tall el-Hammam—melt glass, diamond dust, iron beads, and temperatures exceeding 3,600°F. The Abu Hurayra findings remain published and unretracted despite the controversy surrounding the Sodom claims, suggesting a pattern of ancient airbursts that predates written history by thousands of years.
