| The ancient city of Nineveh was first settled in Neolithic times, before 6000 bc. The city, which is located in northern Iraq opposite the modern city of Mosul, was once the capital of the Assyrian empire and was at the height of its power between the late 8th and early 7th centuries bc. Shown here is a depiction of the royal palace of the Assyrian king Sargon II that once stood in the city. | ||||||
