And The Walls Came Tumbling Down: High-Tech In Action At The Battle Of Jericho?

Despite all-encompassing archaeological excavations at Jericho, there is no absolute hardcore affirmation that emerges that supports the Biblical (“Joshua 6″) annual of Joshua and the Battle of Jericho. Jericho was in charcoal abounding hundreds of years afore Joshua (if there anytime was a Joshua) existed and stumbled beyond the site. So if the walls came a-tumbling down, they confused way afore the Biblical account. Joshua and the Israelites hadn’t yet been dreamt up in anyone’s mythology, and those broke walls were allegedly done in because of abundant earthquakes that by itself action in the region.

However, let’s play the ‘what if’ game. Can Joshua’s apostolic applesauce bandage comprised of seven ram’s horns accompany down massive rock walls? Can pigs fly?

Here’s the basal adventure as categorical in the Biblical “Book of Joshua: Chapter Six” (King James Version).

Now God capital Joshua to yield the ‘city’ of Jericho, but in a rather aberrant way at atomic for a archetypal aggressive strategist. That aberrant bit is why God’s war action (which absolutely have to be absolute advancing from an all-knowing deity) isn’t accomplished in the war colleges of the armed armament of the apple – I absolutely don’t anamnesis it accepting been acclimated in any added aggressive campaign, age-old or recent. Anyway, God’s strategy, the key to the success of the annoy of, or the Battle of Jericho as led by Joshua, was to allegedly amphitheater the city-limits for six canicule with his men of war and seven priests accustomed ram’s horns. Maybe the citizenry were meant to beam themselves to afterlife at such antics.
