  2. The Facts, Please! • Walls – many cities in ancient times were surrounded by walls for protection from enemies and even from dangerous wild animals. A city without a wall was considered defenseless. Walls were thick, high structures. They were usually made of earth or clay bricks that were mixed with reeds and hardened in the sun. Archaeologists have discovered remains of huge walls. Nineveh’s wall was so wide that three chariots could ride on it side by side.
