It only stopped part of the Earth. The plain on which they fought rose up about 200 sacred inches. That is proven by the diameter of the doorknob on the entrance to the Queens Chamber in the Great Pyramid which has a flat surface on one edge representing the Earth with the plain missing because it was raised up. In the originial construction of the Great Pyramid the representation of the plain was included however it was looted by Muslims.
​
The rest of the Earth kept rolling along and the land under Josh got back on the trolley when it next passed by. The outrageous slings and arrows that rained down on the enemy were but the normal debris as the world swept by beneath them at near 1000 miles an hour.
​
That explains all parts.

I think it's far more likely that it is literary liberties.

Do you know how fast the Earth and everything on it is moving at that locale?

The easiest and best explaination is Poetic License. Such claims are not at all unusual and are found throughout mythology.

Have you ever been in a car when it suddenly stops, say by hitting a bridge?

Max Nix.
​
Even if you slowed the action down over several hours, it would still be pretty abrupt. Everything that was not nailed down would be heading east at 1000 miles an hour.
​
But that still would not answer the obvious questions.
​
You had the Egyptians right next door. The sun happens to be a big part of their religious system. How come they didn't notice? How about the Assyrians? They just miss the event?
​
How come the Indians, Chinese, Japanese, Amerinds and Aborigine don't tell the tale of the day that never happened? Do you seriously think that there would not be hell to pay if the sun did not come up one morning?

Re: nope
Notice that they come around and pick up all the loose stuff when they get ready to land.
​
Have you ever seen or heard the luggage stuffed in those compartments slide around during landing or takeoff?

Re: For the Love of God Check Your Sources
Welcome Khaemwaset. Really looking forward to learning from you. Is there any chance you can tell us any more about examples of art styles that continued from around 4000 BC on into the period around 2000 BC? It would sure help over in This thread.

Re: Presuppositions
How might you account for the Theists, Christian even, that also say that the account was no more than poetic license and story telling and that none of Joshua's exploits ever happened as laid out in the Bible?

I wish you would come over to the "What is Supernatural?" thread. I've shown there that, by definition, the supernatural cannot affect the natural world.
​
Well, you haven't convinced all of us yet, good buddy.
