Ooooo, I love it, Ollie. Good one.
Yes, Psalm. Just like, in the New Testament, is it Jesus who says, "Remember Lot's wife"?
Interesting, this month's BAR(Biblical Arch'y Review), an article, with photographs, announcing the discovery, and describing the artifacts, of the apparent dwelling cave where Lot and his daughters are thot to have escaped to. It was first discovered in 1986, took them nine seasons to excavate; just now releasing the report, apparently.
The site, on the southeastern(western?) of the Dead Sea, remains of a 6th century A.D. byzantine basillica. Inscribed in the mosaic floors are prayers to a "St. Lot". In the back of the sanctuary, as it recedes injto the hillside, is the cave, with an ajacent room. Found under layers of more recent refuse, on the floors of the cave, artifacts--drinking cups, pottery, etc., dating back to long before Lot would have been there, to around 3300 B.C.
Apparently by the etime Lot ever got there, c. 1800 B.C.(+/-), it had already been in use for 1500 years.
One of the full page color camera shots is looking through the front door way, right out onto the plain below, miles in the distance. Probly right where Sodom and Gomorrah would have been.
It seems then by the 500s A.D., it was an established church fact that this was the cave Lot stayed at.
