Jericho: Recent Find PROOF THAT GOD EXISTS!?

Believers say "There is no scientific proof that God doesn't exist". Non-believers say "There is no scientific proof that he does". Believers say that the Bible proves God's existence. Atheists say that the Bible is just a bunch of fictional stories and yet archaeologists are constantly finding proof that some are actually true.

In 1951, Archaeologist Dame Kathleen Kenyon was called into the coast of the dead sea to give her opinion on a site that possibly could be the Famous city of Jericho.
Unlike other archaeological dig sites that are located close to water sources that have now either dried up or have become flooded, The underground water supplies of Jericho have continued feeding the city up to this day. The site Kathleen was sent to inspect is known today as Tel Jericho, after some initial digging and evaluation, Kathleen decided that there simply wasn't enough evidence to either disprove or confirm that this was indeed the fabled walled city of Jericho, so Kathleen called in a team to continue the dig. Kathleen and her team continued the dig for another 6 years and what they found would change everything!

The Jericho City site had initially been dated to around 4000 BC, this surprised most scholars at the time because according to them, the widespread use of agriculture and the domestication of animals had only occurred around 1000 years earlier.
Kathleen and her team had discovered that the site of Jericho had been built and rebuilt on top of itself over and over and that the site had been inhabited from as early as 9400 BC! Kathleen had found that over 10,000 years ago, shortly after the ice age had passed but woolly mammoths still existed, when the majority of Mankind was a Nomadic race of small clans of Hunters and Gatherers, living off the land and striving for survival, the people of Jericho had formed one of the first mass groupings of different clans to create a bustling city about the size of Washington Square Park, which is the first known settlement to have been surrounded by walls.

Inside the walls of Jericho, Kathleen uncovered something even more surprising, a tower nearly 30ft tall and that was built around 8000 BC.
The majority of Jericho's first people lived in mud houses around 14ft in diameter, these conical structures resembled mud tepees and had sunken mud plaster floors, each house also had its own area for storing grain.
After an unknown event, Jericho's walls were destroyed and its population was replaced by a different group of people. These people also built their houses from mud but they used mud bricks, this made their houses and of course, Jericho's walls, stronger and more advanced. These people were also more numerous than their predecessors, growing to a population of approximately 2000.

After around 1500 years, disaster struck, for some reason, all signs of life in Jericho and the surrounding areas completely disappear. This event, known as The Great Decline, is thought to have been when the Noah's Ark Mass Flooding Event could have occurred.
For around 2000 years Jericho remained uninhabited until the Copper Age, but it wasn't until the early bronze age that Jericho built its walls once more.

Around 2600 BC the population of Jericho had reached its highest yet and just 200 years later an impressive Palace complex was built.
Then in 2300 BC, for some reason, whether it was War, or disease, famine, or environmental catastrophe the city of Jericho collapsed once more and it wouldn't be for another 300 years till the city rose again from its ashes.
Between 2000 and 1550 BC the city of Jericho grew tremendously. Evidence of the possible emergence of nobility and royalty begins to appear and the walls of Jericho become more advanced, with the addition of ditches and rectangular towers along its length.

According to the Bible, around 1400 BC, Joshua and his army of Israelites attacked Jericho, walking around its walls once a day until the seventh day when they circled seven times, blew their trumpets, shouted, and the walls came down, they then took all the bronze, iron, silver and gold and burnt the rest. Joshua then exclaimed, "Cursed before the Lord is the one who undertakes to rebuild this city Jericho".

On the dig site, Kathleen found that a dramatic event had indeed caused the walls of Jericho to fall and the city to burn and Kathleen couldn't find any metallic objects to be able to date the event but the pottery she did find placed the time of this disaster at 1550BC.

So whether you think that bible stories are fact or fiction, biographical or fantasy, thanks to archaeologists and science we can say they are, at the very least, "based on a true story".
