The story of the Walls of Jericho has been verified by three different international archeological teams, why were ALL of the walls down?...?

... if not by God?

An invading army would poke a hole in the wall or two or three.

All of the walls were down except the North wall, probably where Rahab lived. Any invading army other than Joshua would have taken the valuable pots of oil and grain before burning the city.

Update:

Thomas A. Holland, was editor and co-author of Kenyon’s excavation reports, the excavations at the site carried out in the 1950s under the direction of British archaeologist Kathleen Kenyon, and her rather biased view, said there was no wall that surrounded the town at first.

    And those walls fell outward, so what's up with that?

    Maybe they were looted by others when the city was abandoned.

    And the Great Pyramid has most of it's casing stones missing so that must have been God too. 

     Or just maybe the local people wanted some stone to build their houses with so took it.
