- Summary:
- "According to the biblical, Old Testament account, “Joshua fought the battle of Jericho” —but the archaeological evidence indicates that no-one lived at Jericho during the biblically reported time of that battle, and that Jericho’s walls had already collapsed, much earlier; about a thousand years earlier! Again, per the Bible, the Israelites escaped Egypt and headed for the Promised Land of Canaan—but Canaan was then still a province of Egypt, still controlled by Egypt. In these, and other cases, John McCarthy presents startling archaeological evidence and new discoveries which challenge the whole story of Biblical Israel"-- Heritage Broadcasting Service
