The city of Jericho is a historic city, also mentioned in the Bible, when the Jews, after 40 years of journey through the desert, after leaving Egypt, finally reached the promised land. The city was in the "Canaan" land, according to the Bible, which the Jews led by Joshua, who was leader after Moses, had to conquer. According to historical data, Jericho was located in the valley of the Jordan River, a small village inhabited by a few thousand people, with a stone wall around. There is no evidence of the existence of a ziggurat in the village, which is a stone pyramid, a type of building that dates back to the Sumerian civilization, and which is more characteristic of the Mesopotamian region than Palestine.

Explanation:
As additional forces came to Alaric’s side, Emperor Honorius did little to help the city and oppose Alaric. The Goths were still viewed as barbarians and no match for the armies of the empire. Although the treasury was virtually empty, the Senate finally succumbed, and wagons left the city carrying two tons of gold, 13 tons of silver, 4,000 silk tunics, 3,000 fleeces, and 3,000 pounds of pepper. Alaric eased the siege, still hoping to negotiate terms, but Honorius remained blind to the seriousness of the situation. While temporarily agreeing to Alaric’s demands - something he never intended to honor - 6,000 Roman soldiers were sent to the city but were quickly defeated by Alaric’s brother-in-law Athaulf.
