I think that you don't understand some things. I'll explain.
There are people trying to claim that the Bible is not telling
what is true. It says that the Israelites conquered Jericho.
It gives great details as to what happened and what was left
of Jericho after they had conquered it. The story sounds
to the average man to be too fantastic to have really happened,
since the Israelites marched around Jericho seven times for
seven days, blowing horns. OK, so far? The Bible says that
the walls fell outwards and flat when they walked around
the seventh day seven times and shouted. It says that the
Israelites entered the city, conquered it, left the grain and
the foodstuffs as a memorial to God (in original containers),
saved Raham and her family, then set fire to the city. We know
as a fact that when other battles have occurred against other
cities, the invading enemy takes the spoils for their own people.
Loot, food, etc, has turned up in other places and been found
by archaeologists enough to know that is the trend. The city
is then destroyed by fire, and the Israelites leave.

The city of Jericho then has weeds grow up over it, and dirt
sweeps across it and in sort time, it becomes a "tell," which
means a mound...and archaeological mound to be
excavated some day by future archaeologists. The story is then
written down by the Jews.

At some time, a few miles from the ancient Jericho site,
a new Jericho begins in a slightly different spot not far
away. That city exists today, but it is not the ancient city.

Hundreds of years pass and then one day, many centuries later,
after the Bible is printed in many languages, someone makes
the claim that the Bible is not really ancient and that it was
made later. One in here says in the 7th Century A.D. The tell
remains untouched with Jericho beneath it. Fairly modern
times happen and then the city is begun to be excavated by
archaeological scientists. During the time before it was
excavated, skeptics were claiming that the story was not
true and that the city did not exist and that only modern
Jericho existed and it was not ancient. But one day the
scientists proved that the tell had a vast city beneath it.

The archaeologists began to find things that would thrill
the world. Eventually, up even until the present, they
found that the city (ancient Jericho) was perhaps the oldest
continually inhabited city in the world that they know of
to date. The archaeologists found every detail that was
written in the Bible to be factual. The evidence that what
they wrote is the truth, is all there in the excavation of
Jericho. The archaeological find verifies the supports what
the Bible says. Most Christains had accepted this on faith
to begin with, but for some that doubt or are not believers,
that is helpful news.


How were the archaeologists able to determine that the walls fell
after the isrealis circled the city the seventh time, rather than
the eighth or sixth?
