Geographical region (Dead Sea rift valley) is well established in geography and Islamic exegesis; exact submerged site of the overturned cities (Al-Mu'tafikat) is an archaeological estimate.
Before dawn, the cities are overturned and rained upon with marked stones of baked clay.
“So when Our command came, We made the highest part [of the city] its lowest and rained upon them stones of layered hard clay.”
“And indeed, you pass by them in the morning, and at night. Will you not then reason?”
