#AES #Bitcoin §54 Before and during Jericho, there was a conflict between the hunter-gatherer and the farmer. Cain the farmer and Abel the shepherd. Metaphorically speaking, the farmer killed the shepherd, just like the barbed wire killed the free-ranging cowboy. There is a similarity between the walls of Jericho and barbed wire. Tearing down the walls of Jericho repeats the same Cain and Abel metaphor. The Walls of Jericho falling could be remembered as The Shepherds Strike Back.
