The Walls of Jericho Have JUST BEEN FOUND Under The Sahara
The ancient city of Jericho has walls that have stood for over 10,000 years, steeped in legends that could change history. Since 8000 BC, Jericho has been a center of early civilization with fertile land and big walls that protected the city from many dangers. Researchers are still amazed by the discovery of what happened when Joshua's troops marched around its walls for seven days, leading them to crumble. What hidden details is this old LEGEND holding under the Sahara desert? Let's explore Jericho's long-lost stories.
The biblical story describes how the walls of Jericho fell after Joshua and the Israelites encircled the city for seven days, ending with the sound of trumpets. This account is a cornerstone of Judeo-Christian traditions but remains a topic of intense debate among archaeologists. Research by Kathleen Kenyon and John Garstang indicates that Jericho underwent multiple destruction phases, potentially predating the biblical timeline of around 1400 Before Christian Era for Joshua's conquest. Kathleen Kenyon's thorough examinations particularly pointed out the absence of Cypriote pottery expected from the Late Bronze I period, suggesting an earlier date of ruin.
Further excavations revealed numerous habitation layers, indicating that Jericho was rebuilt multiple times. Around 2600 Before Christian Era, the Amorites constructed robust fortifications, and by about 1900 Before Christian Era, Canaanites took over the city, initiating a significant growth phase driven by the ascendancy of chariot-utilizing elites known as Maryannu.
