About this ebook

Jericho Origins explores the fascinating history of Jericho, one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities, revealing insights into early urban development and social organization. The book investigates how Jericho became a lasting settlement and what its history uncovers about the origins of urban life. Intriguingly, Jericho's success stemmed from favorable environmental conditions, innovative social structures, and its strategic location, challenging simpler explanations of early urbanism.

The book situates Jericho within the Neolithic Revolution, examining the environmental factors and technological innovations that contributed to its unique mud-brick architecture. Jericho Origins progresses systematically, beginning with Jericho's geographical setting and earliest archaeological evidence, then explores architectural developments like the tower and walls, culminating in an assessment of Jericho's legacy and its impact on understanding early civilization origins. This approach moves beyond material culture, offering a holistic view of Jericho as a dynamic community.
