It was the capital and biggest city of the Neo-Assyrian Empire, and the world's biggest city for some decades, and is on the eastern bank of the Tigris River. It's now a prevalent name for the portion of Mosul that's on the Tigris' eastern bank, and it is also the name of the nation's Nineveh Governorate.

Reviews for Ancient Empires

[Dean Rowe · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

It's a really good thing when you are able to just put on your headphones and listen to an audio book like this one. I was amazed. And I tend not to always say that about every book. The book clarifies numerous perspectives extremely well. It also dives much deeper in to the information. My favorite parts were definitely the final chapters, where the final thought became very clear.
