Lots wife/Dont look back- u cant bring ur treasures

Lot’s wife "looked back" (the phrase might even have meant "returned back" or "lagged back") seeking to cling to her luxurious life in Sodom (note Christ’s reference to this in Luke 17:32,33) and was destroyed in the "overthrow" (Genesis 19:25,29) of the city.

There are many great deposits of rock salt in the region, probably formed by massive precipitation from thermal brines upwelling from the earth’s deep mantle during the great Flood.

Possibly the overthrow buried her in a shower of these salt deposits blown skyward by the explosions. There is also the possibility that she was buried in a shower of volcanic ash, with her body gradually being converted into "salt" over the years following through the process of petrifaction.

Genesis 19:28 "And he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain, and the smoke of the country went up in smoke."

Why haven't we found Lot's wife? The place that Lots wife killed was never meant to be a memorial - she perished as the result of God's judgment. Her body was reduced to ash and salt - That whole area is now salt - its not just one tiny pillar somewhere so we wouldn't expect to find one human shaped mound or anything. The bible warned that they would "be consumed." Genesis 19:17 KJV
