Tel Jericho or Tel es-Sultan-A brief history of the site. Even by about 7500 BC, Jericho had an estimated 2000 people living in a town surrounded by a thick 5 foot-wall. Think about it- a town even 5000 years before the Great Pyramids of Egypt were built.

  1. Thanks!!!
    Due to recent violence in the area, we didn't get a chance to stop by Jericho when we were there. Your photos are a missing link - especially the attention to the boards (something I'd always photograph).
