BIBLE HISTORY.
EFFECT OF RECENT DISCOVERIES. United Press Association—By Electrlo Telegraph—Copyright LONDON, April 8. The Garstang-Marston Palestine expedition has located the Royal Palace of Jericho which was razed when Joshua burned the city. Sir Charles Warston states that excavation of the palace is being delayed until 1932 owing to the heat in the Jordan valley. The discovery follows the recent location of the Jericho necropolis; in which Professor Garstang estimates there are 2000 unopened tombs. An exhibition of the finds will probably be held in London. Professor Garstang is publishing a book dealing with his researches, which Sir Charles Marston believes will revolutionise many ideas regarding Bible history up to the events recorded in the Book of Judges.
