oldest city of which the modern
world has so far found any evil

Kathleen Kenyon, director of

the Biblical site have turned up
evidence that it was a walled city
in the Neolithic Age. which most
archaeologists agree began in the
East before 10000 B. C. and con-
tinued about 1000 years.
This. she added. probably estab-
