While we are on this subject: This paper published last month in nature is freaking amazing. Multidiscipline examination of Tall el-Hammam in the Lower Jordan valley which apparently incurred a large bolide impact around 1650 BCE equal to approximately an 8 megaton nuclear warhead.

The paper is lengthy and somewhat technical at points, but is still approachable for most laypersons and utterly fascinating (and horrific at points).

All 8000+ people in the city died within moments as ground temperature approached 2000 degrees centigrade and the shock wave disarticulated their remains. Nearby Jericho also sustained heavy damage.
