According to the Book of Joshua, the first target of the invading Israelites was the fortified city of Jericho, followed by the city of Ai. However, archaeologists now know that neither city even existed during the late Bronze Age, the time the conquest supposedly happened. They say that these cities had been abandoned quite a few centuries earlier and that there was, at most, only a small mud-brick, unwalled village on the site of Jericho.
