Jericho: Did the Walls Come Tumbling Down?

[@cleo6205]

Thank you for the video. It is facinating!

[@Bildad1976]

At 3:50 she says "No; Joshua and Jericho don't go together ". She concludes this because she doesn't see the evidence for it, yet she also indicated that she doesn't subscribe to the logical fallacy "the absence of evidence equals the evidence of absence". Well, now, apparently she does, as there is no evidence which actually precludes the possibility of Joshua taking Jericho. The only logical position available to her is one of agnosticism. Their default position is that the Biblical account is a fabrication unless proven otherwise! Their bias is so thick that it blinds them to their own logical fallacies.

[@nephthysbastet4809]

🎉No. She said that she does agree that no evidence doesn't in and of itself doesn NOT mean that something is untrue. Lusten to her, again, but this time pay attention.

[@Bildad1976]

@@nephthysbastet4809 NOPE. I listened to it again and she still says (at 3:50). "No, Joshua and Jericho don't go together." Maybe if you click on the time mark (3:50), you will catch it this time.

[@Bildad1976]

​@@nephthysbastet4809Just for you, I reviewed her testimony, and this is an accurate summary. If you disagree, please state your position logically, with time references. At 2:17, she said "We have NO EVIDENCE for it whatsoever." (Notice, and she did not say "we have evidence that Joshua did not do it because he was on vacation at the Nile", or some such contrary evidence. NOPE, she said "we have NO EVIDENCE". 2:21 But us (sic) archeologists, we say 'absence of evidence is not necessarily the evidence of absence'. But yet, based on "no evidence", she concludes (at 3:50) that "No. Joshua and Jericho don't go together " (the biblical account is wrong, that Joshua did not conquer Jericho) . In summary, she says that "we have no evidence", therefore, it didn't happen. Yet another liberal conclusion of "evidence of absence" based on "absence of evidence".

". - You. THAT is what I wrote about so don't change the subject. I never disagreed that she said the no Joshua thing. Remember that anybody reading my reply can clearly see what I was referring to. She said the opposite of what YOU said that she said.

At one time I believed the scenarios given by archaeologists. Now it seems obvious that there’s a lot of politics going on and they have lost credibility.

[@ToddSauve]

Every part of society is riven with this type of behaviour. Universities are especially bad for this.

[@Carladc1956]

@@ToddSauve You know an archeologist has been compromised and unable to accept reality when they degenerate new opinions. It’s sad that they are dependent on universities for their funding and know they can’t go against the mainstream opinions.

It’s all lies. The original Torah is from Yemen and the original Israelites are Yemenis. Don’t you see that the myths of the Torah have been used to steal the holy land of Palestine? Read two books by professor of history at University of Tel Aviv, Shlomo Sand, the Invention of The Jewish People. Second book, And The Invention of the Land of Israel. Both written in Hebrew, both Best Sellers in Israel when they were launched. Also read Dr. Ashraf Ezzat’s book on Amazon Egypt knew neither Pharaoh nor Moses. He also has a video in English on KZbin

Thanks for a great video.

They keep looking for the time of Ramses he wasn’t really the pharaoh of the biblical time. It was a time before Ramses

I often wonder if the entire wall had to fall. Maybe just a couple of areas in the walls fell so the army could go in. But we will never know for sure.

[@thomsinefrye6134]

If you watch the movie, you will see a map in a book , I can't recall the name of the author, that the wall came down all around , except where the house of Rahab.

[@jenna2431]

It says every man could walk straight in. So if they were all about the place, then the walls did a straight collapse, by that text. Of course, if it had, nobody would walk straight in. Clearly not written by an engineer.

[@christopherstodj2946]

Can anyone help me please ? I’m struggling with the matter concerning the matter of number chapter 33, relating the stages in the exodus, it feels like it’s not naming some of the places named in Deuteronomy!! Any plausible explanation ??

[@ToddSauve]

Why would that bother you? So not every single city or place was named in both accounts. What difference does that make?

[@christopherstodj2946]

@@ToddSauve thank you so much , I did some research and it helped me a bit! I’m just going through a hard time in my faith, skepticism is at a all time high in my heart ! Please keep me in your prayers, my name is Christopher 🙏🏾

[@ToddSauve]

@@christopherstodj2946 One thing I have learned after 40 years of being a Christian is that the Bible is correct. Scientists may or may not know what they are talking about but God is _always_ right. What Tim Mahoney has done with his films is simply remarkable. My church has understood these things for a very long time but not every church or synagogue is even interested in digging into the scriptures to prove them the infallible word of God. I was blessed when God called me, and He really kicked my derriere when I started to run away. I have since learned that God is true, though all men may be liars. So don't sweat the small things, as they say. Check the Bible commentaries because they can answer so many of these questions for you. And ask God to increase your faith. Getting all the Patterns of Evidence documentaries is a great start to building your faith because they do such a great job of sorting the fact from the fiction in the scientific and archaeological world. Most of them will never admit they are wrong simply because they don't want to obey God. It is their choice and they will have to live with the consequences. 👌😉

[@caseyjones8203]

YES THE WALLS FELL. Debris flow has been proven that the walls fell out all around. If you can't see it you need to go back to school.

[@davidgardner863]

The roots of Jericho go back 11,000 years. How does that work with the biblical time line?

[@hglundahl]

4:50 "no big city in the 13th C. BC" He's looking at the wrong century. Exodus 1511 BC. Destruction of Jericho 1471 BC. Dated respectively as 1609 BC, 1550 BC. This means, the carbon 14 of the atmosphere goes up 98.822 pmC to 99.049 pmC. The extra years go down from 98 to 79.

Experts humm

[@jenna2431]

The problem with Jericho is that the text plainly described Rahab's house as on the wall. Whether that was up top (unlikely for defensive reasons) or built into the wall, she had a window by which to let the Jews down and to put a red thread out of (also a defensive error, but hey). But if the walls came down as described, in a collapse, such that every man could walk straight in, she and her family would have been crushed.

[@ToddSauve]

From what I understand, they have found a section of the wall that did not collapse. This must have been where Rahab and her family lived, and they have also found grains in jars that were harvested and consumed in the spring of the year, thus dating the collapse of the walls to what would be the period of the Biblical Passover.

[@michaelpfister1283]

@@ToddSauve You are correct. The middle-bronze wall to the east had houses built against it. This apparently allowed that small section to survive. That plus the scarlet thread Rahab was told to hang in her window to mark her home allowed Rahab and her family to survive.

[@JamesAnderson-dp1dt]

Yeah, Kenyon was either hopelessly incompetent, or she chose the conclusion based on what she wanted to find. The idiot dug up two 26x26 foot squares, in an obviously poor neighborhood, and SINCE those two little squares DIDN'T CONTAIN A LUXURY IMPORT POTTERY STYLE, then there was no city there. Seriously, maybe they should have sent a competent archaeologist... I'm sure there must've been some accomplished men who could have been sent instead. Incidentally, we might note that she never published her detailed findings at all -- they were only found and published after her death. Wonder why she made definitive claims, which were generally accepted, but over a period of TWENTY YEARS she declined to publish detailed findings. Hmmmm.

[@nephthysbastet4809]

You know, I could find it easier to believe what that last man told us if he wasn't such an obnoxious person. It's clear that he absolutely loathes the archaeologist, who dug there - in the '50s. He's too arrogant and rude for me to take him seriously when he harbors so much bias and anamosity.

[@Dan-lw7bx]

She doesn't believe, at least what I heard at first. She thinks she knows everything. So I decided not to listen to this video.
