There was widespread earthquake activity in the Levant around 1550 BCE. This appears to have brought down the walls of the last pre-Israelite city of Jericho, which was then abandoned.
At the time attributed to the Israelite conquest of Canaan, scholars say that there was, at most, a small mud-brick village on the site of Jericho. However, when The Bible was written, many centuries later, the Hebrews probably knew that there had been a walled city on that city, but did not know when it was destroyed or what brought down the walls. They simply assumed that it must have been the result of their own glorious conquest of the ancient inhabitants.
