Description

Archaeological remains of massive fortification walls at Tell es-Sultan (ancient Jericho), showing evidence of destruction consistent with the biblical account.

Biblical Significance

Excavations revealed collapsed mudbrick walls that fell outward (unusual for siege warfare), consistent with Joshua 6's account of Jericho's walls falling flat.
