Archaeologists Found JERICHO'S WALLS—But They Were CENTURIES TOO OLD for Joshua

In 1952, British archaeologist Kathleen Kenyon arrived at an ancient mound in the Jordan Valley searching for the walls that fell before Joshua. She found them: collapsed mud-brick, burnt grain, a city destroyed by fire. Then she kept digging—deeper through century after century—and the radiocarbon dates revealed something nobody expected. The walls were real. The destruction was real. But they were centuries too old for the Biblical timeline. What does this mean for one of the most famous stories ever told? The artifacts are real, the interpretations are theories, and you decide what to believe. 00:00 The Walls That Fell 01:49 The Oldest City 05:27 The Theory: Trumpets and Earthquake 09:44 Joshua Chapter Six 12:45 The Destruction Garstang Found 15:59 The Tower No One Expected 19:21 The Spring and the Mound 22:59 Faces of the Ancestors 27:24 Digging Deeper 30:59 What the Scientists Say 34:17 The Question Remains Sources: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tell_es... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plaster... https://www.ashmolean.org/jericho-skull https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kathlee...
