Jericho

Jericho was a town in the West Bank near the Jordan River on Earth. Jericho is believed to be one of the oldest continuously-inhabited cities on Earth, dating back to 9000 BCE. Despite the city's long history, Jericho was first mentioned in the Book of Joshua. The Bible describes the destruction as having proceeded from the actions of Joshua, Moses' successor. The destruction of Jericho's walls dates archaeologically to around 1550 BCE at the end of the Middle Bronze Age, by a siege or an earthquake.

In 2267, Spock compared the cities on Mythra to the walled city of Jericho. He misplaced the event in history, referencing the Middle Ages rather than the Bronze Age.
