Jericho, 35 kilometers from Jerusalem, is thought to be the oldest city in the world. Some 7-8,000 years ago in Jericho, for the first time in history, people began to farm and settle down in one location permanently. This agricultural revolution probably affected nearby Jerusalem, which was on the road between Jericho and the Mediterranean Sea. Ceramic shards found near the Gihon Spring are the earliest remains found to date at the site of ancient Jerusalem, the small slope east of the Dung Gate known as the City of David. They are from the Chalcolithic period, close to 5,000 years ago (fourth millennium BCE) 97 the exact date is not known. It is not clear if the settlement then was continuous. Apparently the hill was resettled in the early Bronze Age (c. 3000 BCE).

Over a million years ago elephants, rhinoceros, giraffes, water buffaloes and other animals now extinct here roamed the Judean Hills. In Bethlehem remains of some of these animals, thought to be 1.4-1.8 million years old, were found cut apart. These finds are the earliest signs of human existence near Jerusalem. 48 sites with stone implements have been discovered, most of them Paleolithic; as well as 23 Neolithic sites, near Jerusalem. The early dwellers around Jerusalem were hunter-gatherers living in forest-covered hills.
