| Excavation sites in Jericho |
Day seven started off early with heading north toward the Dead Sea and on into Israel. The stop of the day was Jericho. Jericho is significant in Biblical times for the place where the Israelites returned and the city in which Joshua fought in battle and destroyed the city. While in Jericho, I was able to visit some of the Archaeological sites. Jericho is one of the most excavated cities. Archaeologist, Sellin, Watzinger and Kenyon have discovered the remains of what could possibly the wall that Joshua destroyed after he marched around the city seven times.
