The gate’s approximate location is based on an aerial photograph of Nineveh taken in 1929, Corona satellite imagery (1967-68), and Google satellite imagery. Note that most scholarly reconstructions place the Aššur Gate about 150 m west of the southeast corner (approximate coordinates: 36.3364280, 43.1769084); this is where the Sennacherib Gate is now thought to have been built.
