Nineveh is located in upper Mesopotamia. It’s on the east bank of the Tigris river. It’s built on a level plain. It has a semi-arid climate, it has hot summers and wet winters. It’s surrounded by rich agricultural land and it has enough seasonal rainfall to support dry farming. To the north and east of Nineveh lay hills and mountains. Which provides the support for the water systems. The population is about a few hundred people. It’s a small farming village filled with the Hassuna and Halaf cultures. They may be descendants of the Zagros or Taurus Mountains. Nineveh has a kinship-based society. Governance is decentralized, with chiefs or council leaders overseeing all resource sharing and disputes. The main focus of Nineveh is a dual identity of devotion and strategic commerce. The dwellings are simple circular houses. They’re made out of marble and oak trees. They have a marble base with a wooden structure, and mortar to help insulate them. The tools used to construct the houses are just the hands of the people. One other structure used by the population of Nineveh is their temple to worship the god of Ishtar of Nineveh (the goddess of love, fertility, and war). Mehr sehen
