According to the Bible story in the Book of Joshua, the walls of Jericho fell down after the priests blew their trumpets and the Israelites shouted. The city was then conquered and destroyed by the Israelites.
The town of Jericho was taken in the military campaign led by Joshua, in the Battle of Jericho described in the Book of Joshua in the Bible. It is known for its miraculous conquest where the walls of Jericho fell down after the Israelites marched around the city seven times blowing trumpets.
A:At various times in its long history, Jericho had walls around it to protect the city from foreign invaders, and it might well have been possible to ride chariots around the top of the walls. However, the last wall before the Hebrew period collapsed during an earthquake in the sixteenth century BCE, after which the city was abandoned. As there was no wall at the time attributed to the biblical invasion, this would not have been possible.
In the Old Testament book of Joshua, chapter 6 verses 1-5 describe the Lord's instructions to the children of Israel to bring down the wall. Verses 6-20 describe the the battle and how the wall feel down flat on the seventh day. Jericho is apparently the oldest city in the world dating at least to 9250 BC. with the world's earliest wall by 8000 BC. From about 1400 to possibly 1300 BC. Jericho was a small settlement. The town at Joshua's time was small and may have used some of it's earlier walls for defenses. More critical scholars underline conflict between archaeological data and biblical quest narrative. More conservative scholars have tried to re-date the archaeological evidence or deny that tell es Sultan is biblical Jericho.
Oh, dude, the distance around the walls of Jericho was about 1,000 meters. They were like, "Hey, let's march around this place seven times and see what happens." Spoiler alert: the walls came tumbling down. So, like, they didn't need to worry about measuring the distance after that.
