More Info: Jericho (/ˈdʒɛrɪkoʊ/ JERR-ik-oh; Arabic: أريحا Arīḥā [ʔaˈriːħaː]; Hebrew: יְרִיחוֹ Yərīḥō) is a Palestinian city in the West Bank. It is located in the Jordan Valley, with the Jordan River to the east and Jerusalem to the west. It is the administrative seat of the Jericho Governorate of the State of Palestine and is governed by the Palestinian National Authority as part of Area A. In 2007, it had a population of 18,346. From the end of the era of Mandatory Palestine, the city was annexed and ruled by Jordan from 1949 to 1967 and, with the rest of the West Bank, has been subject to Israeli occupation since 1967; administrative control was handed over to the Palestinian Authority in 1994. Jericho is claimed to be the oldest city in the world, and it is also the city with the oldest known protective wall. Archaeologists have unearthed the remains of more than 20 successive settlements in Jericho, the first of which dates back 11,000 years (to 9000 BCE), almost to the very beginning of the Holocene epoch of the Earth's history. Copious springs in and around the city have attracted human habitation for thousands of years. Jericho is described in the Bible as the "city of palm trees". Jericho's name in Hebrew, Yeriẖo, is generally thought to derive from the Canaanite word rēḥ "fragrant", but other theories hold that it originates in the Canaanite word for "moon" (Yaraḥ) or the name of the lunar deity Yarikh, for whom the city was an early centre of worship. Jericho's Arabic name, ʼArīḥā, means "fragrant" and also has its roots in Canaanite Reaẖ. This item is part of a 100+ Historical Glass Slide Collection that I will be auctioning this week.
