Cultural and Historical Background: Nineveh was one of the greatest cities of the ancient world, located on the eastern bank of the Tigris River in what is now modern-day Iraq. It was a center of commerce, culture, and power during the height of the Assyrian Empire. The city is noted for its impressive walls and palaces, as well as its role in biblical history as a symbol of human pride and wickedness. Nineveh's eventual destruction, as prophesied by Nahum, marked the end of Assyrian dominance.
