The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Mordechai Becher’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

the turns out that she only dug two 20-foot squares in Jericho and she dug stuff in the poor part of town later on when people dug in the wealthier part of town that she found the pottery not only that but they found a fallen wall which they attribute to an earthquake there is actually a rift line that runs through Israel's called the Syrian African Rift lights like the San Andreas Fault of Israel according to United Nations everything is the fault of Israel but this this actually is Israel's fault and this this actually is Israel's fault and it runs through it actually runs sorry it actually runs through Jericho and they attribute the falling of the walls to that earthquake but they also found the city had been burnt which is actually what it says in the book of Joshua there were full grain storage jars there where they indicate full grain storage jars indicates that the siege was very short and also indicates it was at harvest time because there will be full jars and again the fact that it was in the book of Joshua we are told the conquest of Jericho happened at told the conquest of Jericho happened at harvest time it was a very short siege that built the city afterwards the walls have fallen down this is pretty good it's not like they found the wall that says Joshua was here in graffiti on the wall but it is pretty it's pretty cool here also you have to understand are you refuting the Bible or a straw man so for example there's an archaeologist who wrote obviously the biblical picture of the Philistines as uncultured and ignorant is incorrect because in English when you call someone a Philistine people don't do that
