What was the second city destroyed by Joshua?

A:According to Joshua chapter 8, Joshua destroyed the city of Ai after having captured and destroyed Jericho. However, the city of Ai did not exist at the time of Joshua. It had not existed for eight centuries before the Bible says that Joshua conquered it, having been abandoned in ruins around 2200 BCE. The very name Ai means 'Ruins', the name eventually given to the site by the Hebrew people because they never knew its old name and only ever knew it literally as ruins. Archaeologists say that neither Jericho nor Ai was conquered or destroyed by the Israelites.
