In 1952, a formidable British archaeologist named Kathleen Kenyon arrived at Tell es-Sultan, the ancient mound of Jericho. The site was world-famous, already excavated by previous teams who believed they had found everything of importance. Kenyon was convinced they had barely scratched the surface. She was right.
This is the incredible true story of how Kenyon, armed with a revolutionary new scientific method of excavation, dug deeper into the past than anyone had before. Her meticulous work peeled back the layers of time, revealing a startling truth: Jericho wasn't just an old city, it was the oldest city, with a history stretching back 10,000 years to the dawn of civilization.
Her greatest discovery would stun the world: a massive, 28-foot-tall stone tower with an internal staircase, built by Neolithic people an astonishing 10,000 years ago—thousands of years before the pyramids or Stonehenge. This single structure demolished every existing theory about the capabilities of our Stone Age ancestors. This is the story of a groundbreaking discovery, a brilliant and uncompromising archaeologist, and the moment we truly understood how our urban world began.
