Tower of Jericho
The Tower of Jericho is an stone structure, built in the Pre-Pottery Neolithic A period around 8000 BCE.〔(O'Sullivan, Arieh., World’s first skyscraper sought to intimidate masses, ''Jerusalem Post'', 14 February 2011 )〕 It is among the earliest stone monuments of mankind.〔(Parry, Wynne., Tower of Power: Mystery of Ancient Jericho Monument Revealed, LiveScience, 18 February 2011 )〕
The Wall of Jericho was discovered by John Garstang during the excavations of 1930 to 1936, which he suggested were those described in the Book of Joshua in the Bible and dated to around 1400 BCE. Kathleen Kenyon discovered the tower built against the wall inside the town during excavations between 1952 and 1958, in trench I. Kenyon provided evidence that both constructions dated much earlier, to the Neolithic stone age, and were part of an early proto-city.〔 The tower highlights the importance of Jericho for the understanding of settlement patterns in the Sultanian period in the southern Levant.
==Structure==
The tower was constructed with an internal staircase of twenty two steps and is almost in diameter at the base, decreasing to at the top with walls approximately thick. The construction of the tower is estimated to have taken 11,000 working days.
