A Contemporary Failure Analysis of the Walls of Jericho
The conquest narrative popularly branded as Joshua and the Battle of Jericho occupies a hallowed place in religious history. Joshua 6 describes a unique strategy resulting in a collapse of Jericho’s fortress walls that enabled the Israelite army to enter and destroy the city. This analysis reviews historical and scientific evidence in conjunction with the biblical text and engineering principles to gauge the plausibility of the account. Based on: (1) the laws of physics; (2) unique situational vulnerabilities; (3) accumulated effects of coordinated, repeated external forcing; and (4) at least one threshold-exceeding trigger, this examination concludes reasonable plausibility that a combination of structurally compromising interactions resulted in stresses that exceeded the strength of the Jericho wall system and initiated a cascading sequence of destruction.
