Even in the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament), Ninevah was considered a major destination-- in the Book of Job, the relunctant prophet is told to go there, and it is called a "great city," but one that is also known for wickedness. Historically, we know that Ninevah (which would be in Iraq today, close to the city of Mosul) was one of the oldest cities in the ancient world-- some sources say it was settled as early as 6000 BCE. Not only was it a major center of trade and commerce in ancient Assyria, but it was the home location for the worship of the goddess Ishtar.
