∙ 8y agoJericho is a very ancient city and it had high walls on several occasions long prior to the late bronze age, the period when the Israelite army is supposed to have caused the walls to fall. However, the city had been abandoned centuries before the time attributed to Joshua, and there were no walls for him to breach. Scholars say that at most there was just a small mud-brick village on the site of the former city. So, on the basis of archaeological evidence, it is not possible to state any height for the walls during the fifteenth to thirteenth centuries BCE - the relevant period.

How thick were the walls of Jericho before they came down?
A:One of the most famous episodes in the biblical conquest of Canaan was the assault on the city of Jericho. In the Book of Joshua, the Israelites marched around the walls of Jericho a total of 13 times and then they came down. The Book of Joshua does not tell us how high or thick the walls were, because there actually were no walls at the time attributed to the conquest of Canaan. We now know from archaeologists that there had been no city at Jericho for many centuries before the arrival of the Hebrews. From a purely historical perspective, the city of Jericho had long been abandoned, and there was only a small village on the site during the Late Bronze Age. The village had no walls to be measured.
