  • January 1299 BC: Around 1250 BC, according to the biblical narration of the Book of Joshua, Jericho was invaded and razed to the ground by the Jews led by the leader Joshua, successor of Moses. Also the majority of scholars believe that the last occupation of the place during the The Late Bronze Age dates back to the 14th century and, from then until the 9th century, there were no further settlements.
