I have been informed by a reliable theatrical archaeologist that evidence has been discovered in an ancient auditorium that the ''The Battle of Jericho'' was a one off popular musical extravaganza of the time as opposed to military violence.
Ringside seats were a shekel a go kids half price no reruns of the performance were to be seen. A once only event presented by Joshua Goldstein enterprises.
Two modern(ish) cover versions of the opening ditty are shown below.
