The Oldest City On The Planet: Jericho // Behind The Wall 

As a Palestinian, I am very grateful to you for showing people the Palestinian side through your platform. I come from Ramallah. My heart breaks when I think about Gasa and what has been done to us Palestinians for years (since 1947). Palestine is a holy place for so many people where Christians, Jews and Muslims are supposed to live together peacefully. You can see it in the faces of the people. We welcome everyone and only want peace and freedom. Please don't be fooled by the Zionists and the media. I live in Germany and know how manipulative the media can be. So please do your own research and form your own opinion. Thanks to the people who stand for Palestine 🇵🇸❤

Victor seems like such a cool guy. Glad you let him give you the tour.

This series feels like I’m watching a cool documentary

I love the tour guide 🍉 may he and his family be protected 🧿 Edit: the Israeli police are infamous for their treatment of the natives

man i love learning and experiencing places through your videos, never stop traveling and making videos, amazing year.

Victor is a great tour guide, wish we can hear more from him.

Really high-quality production with rich history and exquisite images! 👁👁👁👁👁The background music 🎼🎶🎵🎶adds many layers of flavor and meaning! Excellent job! 👍👍👍👍👍❤❤❤

Jericho of Judaea and Samaria

love your videos and the detail and care you put into them. they're far more professional and interesting than much larger channels! i cant wait for the world to discover your videos just as we have

Thank you very much, Wes, for your new video. All these videos from Palestine have helped me a lot to learn more about the country from which I have ancestry. The best way to end the year. Happy new year, Wes!

I went to that city in 2023 and there was a waterpark😅 Jericho is one of my favourite cities😊

Great video. Thank you. Victor was such an interesting guide.

I have thoroughly enjoyed your series. I've learned some things I never knew. Bravo. Stay safe and keep posting.👏

Great video . Like the tour guide too!

Thank you very much for sharing your impressions from Jericho. All the best for your life in Berlin. Happy New Year!

I really love this channel..thx alot for finding Victor

shout out to the tour guide for calling out the real issue of forcing children to marry, I'm glad his kids have a dad like him who won't push to get married even with such a strict culture standard

Hello, I just found you on you tube, I enjoy your videos and have a lot of catching up to do. Thank you for sharing your life.

The Palestinian Christians are the original Christians during Jesus's time. Jesus was born in Bethlehem a town in Palestine and crucified and buried in Golgotha near Jerusalem. Jesus was Palestinian. It's sad no one really knows this because they dont want you to know, its hidden for a reason. Free Palestine 🇵🇸

Thank you for such an informative video.Looking forward to watch your upcoming tour. God bless.

I'm watching these videos now. Thankyou for producing these videos ❤

Good Wes Its nice attempt to know people and culture of different regions while travelling. Loved watching Palestine and Israel through the eyes of Japanese youngster.

Definitely fantastic my friend thanks for sharing 🥰

I learn so much about culture from your videos, but this one just broke everything. It was so good, so real, and I feel like CNN needs to give you a film crew and an expense account. This is just amazing.

来自中国粉丝，感谢你的辛苦拍摄。我非常喜欢你的旅行视频。

Beautiful Ariha!!!

Jericho Palestine such a historic place and very rich culture thank you for this video

Well Victor's explanation of why the city is always green was close but the biblical reason was actually written on the fountain wall Also it wasn't Africans but Ethiopians that were there they came from the kush kingdom they were called kushites back in that time

Thank you, recently came back from Jericho, you showed parts I missed very informative videos

Love the video!!! Happy New Year, Wes!

This tourist guide is a feminist, giving the right of choice to his children. Kudos to you for this video

Very interesting your videos, would love to visit these amazing historical places.

This was really interesting and informative too Wes, Jericho looks like a fascinating place, looking forward to content in 2023, happy new year 👏

thank for your video with english in the below. so i can learn english. salam dari Indonesia. God Bless You

Happy New Year Wes. Wishing you 100K subscribers, silver status and many more brutal massages in 2023. How did you get the aerial shots at the beginning? Did you use a drone?

hey buddy i live in jericho and everything i see here is so familiar

really Thankful to see a one of the oldest place on earth 😍

I am hapoy you've hadn't visit it in oktober this year. Its a sad world 🕊🇵🇸

Nice video very informative. hello from NZ

Really nice guide did find you there😂👌🏻

Man , I never expected the confession from your palestinian guide about how their culture is brutal to girl child. It's very encouraging. Best wishes from Kenya

Could provide the guide's contact if you do have it. thanks. seems like a honest guide.

Thanks so much for this beautiful video ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Thank you for the amazing videos 🙏 that show the world who the Palestinias are, and beautiful it is. Your guide on the other hand doesn't have a good knowledge of history like he should, but I don't blame you, you didn't know. Shame on him for the inaccurate information regarding marriage too. Yes, people used to marry their daughters young, but like the rest of the world that was hundreds of years ago.

That is not the first house built in Jericho. Jericho has been around for thousands of years.

Excellent video!

thank you sir

He was a great tour guide!

As a Palestinian 🇵🇸 I think Victor is not telling the truth when it comes to our customs As he does not seem to portray an accurate perspective on our cultural values, especially when it comes to marriage. I can assure you that forced marriages are not a custom here. Victor here seems to have a huge misunderstanding As what he described is very uncommon and very untrue. I do not think he should associate any bad experiences he himself may have had with the whole of Palestine as at that point it is a form of generalisation and misrepresents the true beauty of our culture.

Thanks (from India 🇮🇳)💗💗

MASADA is the lowest point on earth. While close to Jericho and Bethlehem, Masada is 430 meters BELOW sea level.

Thanks for your videos. I´ve enjoyed them a lot. Please do many more videos. By the way, I am a great admirer of Japan, and the japanese girls seem to me the most precious. I have hundreds of pictures of them in my PC. Greetings from Medellín, Colombia.

Palestinians sure did have a long history wow

Do you have the guides info ?

Wes I like your videos we will wait for your videos. Happy New Year.

Happy NewYears. .....

I truly empathize with the young women who are forced to marry older men . Regrettably, they lack control over the situation, i send my prayers towards them

If I had the option to visit only one city in the world, I would visit Jericho. My forefathers many centuries ago lived in Jericho when it was called Areeha. Then they moved to Indian subcontinent when India was conquered by Muslims. Their clan was called alreehai which later became Araeen and there are millions of Araeen living in Punjab and Sindh Region of Pakistan now.

Jericho is also the hottest city in Palestine. (40°C)

The first family in Jericho was black. 💪🏾

The first people that live here they were people from Africa. Woow i like how he said it and he knows what he is talking about

غير صحيح سن الزواج حاليا اختلف هذا كان قديما

I’m from Jericho moon city❤

Masha Allah very beautiful videos and very nice country and nice people's Allah bless you all Ameen

Just to let you know , ' Kashi' is more than thirty thousand years old. Lord Rama was here twenty thousand years ago and he visited a temple in Kashi.

No man the door is smaller because people we’re smaller.

Hello how to go Jericho from Jerusalem please tell me

you should not expose this local guide and his confidences. that could make him in a bad situation if someone around him recognize him and denounce him to criticize its culture. In this part of the world that could be not tolerate, at least blur his face

We are Areehai and we are from Jericho(Areeha) under command of Muhammad Hayaat Madni, was a Commander in Muhammad Bin Qasim’s Army - 711 AD

But who is that tour guide

Bit difficult that claim. As earth is around just shy of 6,000 years old.

thanks

The most amazing ancient city buried under the soil was discovered in the south of Iran

There live IT ( time Anunaki).

that gentleman is beautiful.

Long Live Palestine

I am changing my ignorance level regarding the religion in and around the Middle East. This will sound rude and disrespectful to some but my anger is so strong right now. Has Palestine been here since 9000 BC? Has Israel been here since 1200 AD?

Jerich_Palestine ❤️🇵🇸 Greetings from our holy land Jerusalem Palestine ✌️🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸

Sumarians built first civilization city not jericho right?

This tour guide with all due respect isnt well informed. Jericho was home to ancient civilizations like kedarites, hykos and many more

Jericho is in Samaria

Jesus was born in here

: can you walk more quickly? 🐪

The Guide was trying too hard ! which lead to so much misinformation, and ended up being highly misguiding

Not West Bank but Judea and Samaia.

We dont know for sure bud

No muslims and Arabs in Jericho time think

The name means "Jewish Kingdom Corridor" just like "Nihon" means "Place of two Kingdoms there" Nih=two on=on/at. This Culture once spread all the way to Japan by boat and "Shinto" was it's Japanese outpost.

I notice now there are no Jews residing in Jericho.

not true at all . after the flood what was the first city built . which would be around close to the ararat mountains where noah landed . which would be close to turkey . the book of jubilees and jashar mentions it and so does the bible .

17 years, 11 months and 29 days. Too young she’s a a child 😲. A day or two later when she turns 18, 😊All the sudden she’s a fully grown adult and legal. Western law. 😂. Don’t take culture or religious information from random people you found on the streets lol. You must seek knowledge on why matters are in a way that you might find strange and the roots of it.

This guide is lying about height of the door ,its not reason for respect ,In olden days for small mud house they used small door thats is it

This man who claim he is tour guid he is a lier. This house age not 400 years not even 100 year. And this not the door its window there is no related to blessing. Its just a window

11,000 does not Exist according to the bible.

wow, i really want to go but now they are at war

False, there is proof of city centres nations way before that

Again this man is a lier. The families in Jericho are Palestinians not come from Africa. And how come it would be the oldest city in the planet while it was a deasert

This so called "Tour Guide" doesn't know his eyeball from his elbow ! he knows nothing about Arab culture and his information is very very wrong, I demand to remove his false claims about Arab marriage.

*Jericho* was occupied by Jordan from 1949 to 1967 then fell under Israeli rule until 1994 when it became part of the Palestinian Authority West Bank. Thanks to Jericho's good relations with Israel it is a popular tourist destination included in several tours. If all that, by the way, Jews today are not allowed to enter Jericho. Any area in the Holy Land that came under the control of the Palestinian Authority. Jews are not allowed to enter, move around, buy land, etc. Any area that is under the democratic Jewish state - *everyone is allowed,* Jews and Arabs, Christians and Muslims to do anything.

The Jewish people are *indigenous* to Judea - Land of Israel. 🕎🙌 After over 2 millennia of forced exile, persecution, and genocide, the *(re)establishment* of *Jewish sovereignty* in our *ancestral homeland* is a remarkable story of *national liberation.* Jewish claims to the land are far more than biblical accounts. Our *religion, language, culture, holidays, rituals, liturgy, history,* and even the words Jew and Jewish are all inseparable from *historical Judea* and our collective longing to *return to the Land of Israel.* The land of Israel is where Jews became *a people* and the *oldest monotheistic faith.* It is where Jews *achieved sovereignty* before losing it and regaining it several times until much of the *indigenous Jewish population* was either killed or forced into exile following the *Roman Empire’s* brutal suppression of the heroic *Jewish revolt* in the second century of the Common Era. Though the Romans subsequently *renamed the land* Syria Palaestina, the Jewish people *never left* our homeland physically or spiritually. *Archaeological evidence* of Jewish life can be found in more than *30,000 sites* in Israel with antiquities dating back centuries. Even when we were massacred and persecuted by Christian Crusaders, Arab and Ottoman *invaders,* the British-led Jordanian Arab Legion, or more recently Hamas suicide bombers and rockets, our attachment *never* wavered. It is in this same land where Jews miraculously *revitalized* the Hebrew language, *rebuilt* the institutions necessary for independence, *re-engaged* in rituals that are uniquely observed in the land of Israel, *redeveloped* the land and the economy so that by several magnitudes the Jewish and non-Jewish populations grew, and offered refuge not just to the remnant which survived the Holocaust, but also millions of Jews fleeing persecution from the Muslim Middle East, Ethiopia, and the former Soviet Union. Today, Israel is a *rich tapestry of diverse citizens,* including over half of Jewish Israelis who identify as Jews of color and 20% of whom are Arab citizens. *Peace Not Hate!* 🇮🇱💙
