There is an on-going debate as to which city is older, Damascus or Jericho. Both cities have evidences going back to 9000BC. While the question may seem very important, what amazes us is that these ancient cities continued to exist. Speaking of Jericho, the city is located in the Palestinian Territory of West Bank, near the Jordan River. Going by the history of excavation, the city dates back to the Stone Age, to the biblical New Testament time period to present-day--Jericho continues to be inhabited. The discovery of the Wall of Jericho (8000BC), located at Tell es-Sultan, supports the biblical accounts of the two walls of Jericho.
