Certainty, honestly rated
One securely identified site, one debated location with ranked candidates, and one approximate region: the confidence spectrum the whole collection preserves.
Jericho is encircled and falls
Joshua 6:1-27
The identification of Jericho with Tell es-Sultan is secure at city scale; event-specific features remain debated. Any route line attached to this event is schematic and should not be read as an exact ancient track.
Elijah encounters God at Horeb
1 Kings 19:9-18
Traditional southern-Sinai candidate; the biblical mountain is not securely identified. Any route line attached to this event is schematic and should not be read as an exact ancient track.
Israel crosses the Jordan on dry ground
Joshua 3:7-17
Joshua identifies the river and the approach to Jericho but not a recoverable ford. Any route line attached to this event is schematic and should not be read as an exact ancient track.
