Joshua, Jesus (Yehoshua, Yeshua), are the same in the Greek Bible.
The Sun standing still for Joshua is a Solar allegory of Summer Solstice, when the Sun, at its highest point, points to the Tropic of Capricorn, on 21 June in the Upper hemisphere.
Winter Solstice is what is celebrated as Christmas, when the Sun is at the lowest point, in the Earth's Lower hemisphere.

javansanta, why would ancient scribes note one day with such great historical significance if it was merely the normal annual solar cycle? If the battle re-occurred annually, then it might make sense to note the season, but it happened only once.
In my opinion, the 'Book of Jasher' which is mentioned in Joshua as a reference to the (sun/shine/xyamb) stopping was actually a Chaldean astrology/astronomy text with predicted eclipse dates which Joshua's priests had thus anticipated. - - - (Wikipedia) The Book of Jasher is also mentioned in the Biblical Book of Joshua amid the descriptions of Joshua's military exploits in the land of Canaan, specifically after Adoni-zedek, king of Jerusalem, and his allies attacked Gibeon for allying themselves with Israel and Joshua and the Israelites came to Gibeon's aid (Joshua 9-10). When "YHWH gave the Amorites over to the sons of Israel", Joshua told the sun to stand still over Gibeon and the moon to stand still over Valley of Aijalon (Joshua 9:1-2). Then the Book of Joshua 10:13 states: And the Sun stood still, and the Moon stayed,until the people had avenged themselves on their enemies. Is this not written in the Book of the Upright (Sēper haYYāšār)?[3] The presence of this event in a book of poetry has been interpreted as a poetic description of the prolonged battle.[4] The Septuagint translation renders sefer hayashar in both cases as 'Book of the Just'.

Note: Shamash was the Semitic sun god of justice. Note: In Hebrew, the shamash is a special candle (eternal light) used to light the menorah candelabra on the Sabbath. Note: Book of the Just actually means Book of the Upright, and refers both to social moral rectitude and to the position in 3D space, such as the sun & moon in relationship to the Earth's surface, thus orthogonal posture. For this reason I think it originally was a Chaldean "sorcery" manual of star charts, constellation data and astronomical tables, with Babylonian 60 degree geometry/mathematics, which was used for purposes of prediction. Note: Jasher = Ha Yasher = the Astro/star book. - - - Note: A reanalysis of markings on Babylonian tablets has revealed that astronomers working between the fourth and first centuries bc used geometry to calculate the motions of Jupiter http://www.nature.com/news/babylonian-astronomers-used-geometry-to-track-jupiter-1.19261 - - -
Do you agree with my logic?

DDeden Cyclic events may not have much significance for we "Modern Man". 12 Disciples, 12 Zodiac Signs, Age of 30 [degrees] (1/12th of 360), Fishers of Men (Pisces) are all cyclic events that mattered in that time.
Pan-Babylonianism.......
But I would like to confirm if the Joshua Battle has archaeological support, and if anybody called Joshua existed outside scriptures.

I don't know of any physical evidence of that battle, nor if Joshua was a name used outside of the Hebrew culture.
Joshua's birth name was Hoshea bn Nun (Josiah born of Nun), Moses changed it.
I had long suspected that the sun darkened rather than stopped moving, but unable to read Hebrew so I depended on translators, who consistently stuck with the official meaning.
The Mbuti term mongolu/mbuangualua is found derived in all languages, from buckler (Old English round shield) to Sanskrit bungalow (hut) and also in Serbian (speech). See my comment here:

Hebrew language/Religion is an evolution of Ancient Egyptian.
It is interesting to learn about the Mbuti language in Congo. The Dwarf and Elf legends of Europe could have referred to the Mbuti people who migrated to Europe.

Pygmy languages are today's closest to original root human language. All languages derive from them.
Any dwarf/elf/leprechaun/ebugogo etc. legends indicate a later wave of taller people arriving, with agriculture. I think that these taller agricultural people had resided in the Levant-Arabia area, while Pygmy-San people dispersed everywhere else in small bands generally along the tropical rainforest belt.

The figurines were exhibited in 2014 at Manchester Museum's 'Fragmentary Ancestors' exhibition. Despite the fact that high temperatures typically accelerate DNA damage, and there are only a few previous reports of the recovery of ancient DNA from exposed sites in Sub-Saharan Africa as a result, Professor Terry Brown and PhD student Heather Robinson managed to recover ancient DNA from inside three of the figurines using forensic-style swabs and a magnetic extraction method.
The findings of the researchers suggest that exotic plants such as banana and pine, which are not native to Ghana, were prized by the unknown ancient culture for use in religious rituals as well as other West African plants. Banana and pine could only have been obtained via trade with North Africa, and suggest that the prehistoric inhabitants of the Yikpabongo archaeological site were connected to other parts of the World via trade, because banana is an east Asian cultigen.
We find a genetic signature in present-day Papuans that suggests that at least 2% of their genome originates from an early and largely extinct expansion of anatomically modern humans (AMHs) out of Africa. Together with evidence from the western Asian fossil record, and admixture between AMHs and Neanderthals predating the main Eurasian expansion, our results contribute to the mounting evidence for the presence of AMHs out of Africa earlier than 75,000 years ago. Pagani, et al., "Genomic analyses inform on migration events during the peopling of Eurasia", Nature (Published online 21 September 2016). Hat tip: Marnie at Linear Population Model.
We find that a population that diverged early from other modern humans in Africa contributed genetically to the ancestors of Neanderthals from the Altai Mountains roughly 100,000 years ago. By contrast, we do not detect such a genetic contribution in the Denisovan or the two European Neanderthals. We conclude that in addition to later interbreeding events, the ancestors of Neanderthals from the Altai Mountains and early modern humans met and interbred, possibly in the Near East, many thousands of years earlier than previously thought. Martin Kuhlwilm, et al., "Ancient gene flow from early modern humans into Eastern Neanderthals", Nature, Volume 530, Pages 429-433 (25 February 2016).
Using fineSTRUCTURE, we find in the genomes of Papuans and Philippine Negritos more short haplotypes assigned as African than seen in genomes for individuals from other non-African populations. This pattern remains after correcting for potential confounders such as phasing errors and sampling bias. These shorter shared haplotypes would be consistent with an older population split. Indeed, the Papuan–Yoruban median genetic split time (using multiple sequential Markovian coalescent (MSMC)) of 90 kya predates the split of all mainland Eurasian populations from Yorubans at ~75 kya. This result is robust to phasing artefacts. Furthermore, the Papuan–Eurasian MSMC split time of ~40 kya is only slightly older than splits between west Eurasian and East Asian populations dated at ~30 kya. The Papuan split times from Yoruba and Eurasia are therefore incompatible with a simple bifurcating population tree model.
At least two main models could explain our estimates of older divergence dates for Sahul populations from Africa than mainland Eurasians in our sample: 1) admixture in Sahul with a potentially un-sampled archaic human population that split from modern humans either before or at the same time as did Denisova and Neanderthal; or 2) admixture in Sahul with a modern human population (extinct OoA line; xOoA) that left Africa after the split between modern humans Africa after the split between modern humans.
