Excavations at Jericho

One of the German societies conducting investigations in the Holy Land, are making excavations in Jericho, the city whose walls fell down before the marching of Israel. They claim that the evidences which they have unearthed show that the city was a strong city before the day of Israel, as the Bible intimates. The most remarkable result of the excavations was the finding of a double wall embracing the whole city of Jericho. This double wall may have been erected by the Jews at a later date.
