The Barrington Atlas Directory notes: Kuyunjik IRQ
According to the Old Testament book of Jonah, Nineveh was home to 120,000 people and took three days to cross. Islamic Tradition has it that the mound of Nebi Yunus ("Prophet Jonah"), the spot where an Assyrian armory was built, contains the grave of the prophet Jonah, who is believed to have died in Nineveh; it is the site of an important mosque.
