How old is Jericho? | Oldest Cities | #shorts

History has seen the creation and destruction of many cities. For instance, the ancient city of Pompeii was buried under volcanic ash due to the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. Similarly, the pivotal city of Taxila, situated at the junction of the Indian subcontinent and Central Asia, declined due to the invasion of the Kidarites in 450 AD and later by Huns in 470 AD.

Fortunately, many ancient cities survived the destructive effects of time. So which one is the oldest? And what kept the city alive for so long?
