Everyone is familiar with the method that was used to cause the walls of the city to come tumbling down:
the famous trumpets of Jericho. "Go 'round the city seven times, and the priests shall blow the trumpets.
When you hear the sound of the trumpet,
all the people shall shout with a great shout, and the walls of the city shall fall flat down."
Tell es-Sultan, Jericho
Basing themselves on the Bible, the first researchers believed that some of the remains that were discovered here
were those of the city destroyed during the attack by the Israelite armies.
