If , rejecting the measurements of Ctesias, it be admitted
that there was at Nineveh a monument of this very ancient
and durable form,, 1 think the remains of it are still to be
seen among traces which yet exist of that city. Opposite
the town of Mousul is an inclosure of a rectangular form,
corresponding with the cardinal points of the compass; the
eastern and western sides being the longest, the latter facing
the river. The area, which is now cultivated and offers no
vestiges of building, is too small to have contained a town
larger than Mousul; but it may be supposed to answer to
the palace of Nineveh. The boundary, which may be per
fectly traced all round, now looks like an embankment of
earth or rubbish, of small elevation ; and has attached to it,
and in its line, at several places, mounds of greater size and
solidity. The first of these forms the south-west angle; and
on it is built the village of Nebbi Yunus (described and de
lineated by Niebuhr as Nurica), where they show the tomb
of the prophet Jonas, much revered by the Mahometans.
The next, and largest of all, is the one which may be sup
posed to be the monument of Ninus. It is situated near
the centre of the western face of the inclosure, and is joined
like the others by the boundary wall;—the natives call it
Koyunjuk Tepe. Its form is that of a truncated pyramid,
with regular steep sides and a flat top: it is composed, as I
ascertained, from some excavations of stones and earth, the
latter predominating sufficiently to admit of the summit
