The Fall of Jericho
"The wall of the fortified city of Jericho collapsed suddenly after the Israelites marched around the city seven times (..and the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat, Joshua 6:20). The biblical account does not specifically mention
an earthquake, but the earth would have been shaken by the wall’s collapse. Archaeological excavations at Jericho confirm that the massive wall made of mud bricks did collapse at the time of the conquest, about 1400 B.C. The site of the ancient city of Jericho sits directly on top of a very large fault associated with the Jordan Rift Valley. Surprisingly, the Dead Sea sediment core has a distinctive mixed sediment layer at a depth of 15.1 feet that is evidence of a big earthquake at about 1400 B.C." ICR
