then wouldn't other advanced civilazations around the world note this as an extraordinary event and say something about it? Are there supporting stories of this from other cultures?

If the Sun had stopped in its tracks half the world would have suffered severe sun-burn, are there any supporting stories on that??:)

Not necessarily, as this was only seen by those on the battlefield including Joshua. Joshua simply interpreted the sun not setting "as the sun standing still". In the middle east the sun would have set around 6 pm at that latitude but it did not "set" till much later. If you want to see other current and more amazing sun miracles, try this claim:

You will see the sun dancing, whirling and rotating and giving out wild colours here.
I must admit in the light of the new claim, Joshua's take is not that impressive at all. If God can do anything to the sun, who am I to question men seeing the sun "stand still" ?

The Sun did stop for Joshua, But did you also know that the sun is still out of perfect rotation with God, A perfect Circle is 360 degrees, & today this planet makes one complete rotation evry 365 1/4 days, But in the milleimmin that rotion will slowly beging to get back to 360 days rotation.

The earth is rotating at approximately one thousand miles per hour.
If the earth stopped rotating (sun would appear to stand still), everyone and everything would shift to the east at approximately 1,000 miles per hour, thereby killing every living thing on earth. Not to mention the radical alteration of the sea and landscapes.
We can deduce, by the fact that every living thing on earth did not die, the sun did not stand still.

Joshua trusted God and the Sun stood still for him..

Well, Mr. Wizard, I do not know who Joshua is, so excuse me, but I suppose if there is such a thing, that you would just make up something else for us to be scratching our heads over, and wondering, who is "Mr. Wizard" anyway, why doesn't he know . . .
