From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Nineveh       First mentioned in Gen. 10:11, which is rendered in the Revised       Version, "He [i.e., Nimrod] went forth into Assyria and builded       Nineveh." It is not again noticed till the days of Jonah, when       it is described (Jonah 3:3; 4:11) as a great and populous city,       the flourishing capital of the Assyrian empire (2 Kings 19:36;       Isa. 37:37). The book of the prophet Nahum is almost exclusively       taken up with prophetic denunciations against this city. Its       ruin and utter desolation are foretold (Nah.1:14; 3:19, etc.).       Zephaniah also (2:13-15) predicts its destruction along with the       fall of the empire of which it was the capital. From this time       there is no mention of it in Scripture till it is named in       gospel history (Matt. 12:41; Luke 11:32).                This "exceeding great city" lay on the eastern or left bank of       the river Tigris, along which it stretched for some 30 miles,       having an average breadth of 10 miles or more from the river       back toward the eastern hills. This whole extensive space is now       one immense area of ruins. Occupying a central position on the       great highway between the Mediterranean and the Indian Ocean,       thus uniting the East and the West, wealth flowed into it from       many sources, so that it became the greatest of all ancient       cities.                About B.C. 633 the Assyrian empire began to show signs of       weakness, and Nineveh was attacked by the Medes, who       subsequently, about B.C. 625, being joined by the Babylonians       and Susianians, again attacked it, when it fell, and was razed       to the ground. The Assyrian empire then came to an end, the       Medes and Babylonians dividing its provinces between them.       "After having ruled for more than six hundred years with hideous       tyranny and violence, from the Caucasus and the Caspian to the       Persian Gulf, and from beyond the Tigris to Asia Minor and       Egypt, it vanished like a dream" (Nah. 2:6-11). Its end was       strange, sudden, tragic. It was God's doing, his judgement on       Assyria's pride (Isa. 10:5-19).                Forty years ago our knowledge of the great Assyrian empire and       of its magnificent capital was almost wholly a blank. Vague       memories had indeed survived of its power and greatness, but       very little was definitely known about it. Other cities which       had perished, as Palmyra, Persepolis, and Thebes, had left ruins       to mark their sites and tell of their former greatness; but of       this city, imperial Nineveh, not a single vestige seemed to       remain, and the very place on which it had stood was only matter       of conjecture. In fulfilment of prophecy, God made "an utter end       of the place." It became a "desolation."                In the days of the Greek historian Herodotus, B.C. 400, it had       become a thing of the past; and when Xenophon the historian       passed the place in the "Retreat of the Ten Thousand," the very       memory of its name had been lost. It was buried out of sight,       and no one knew its grave. It is never again to rise from its       ruins.                At length, after being lost for more than two thousand years,       the city was disentombed. A little more than forty years ago the       French consul at Mosul began to search the vast mounds that lay       along the opposite bank of the river. The Arabs whom he employed       in these excavations, to their great surprise, came upon the       ruins of a building at the mound of Khorsabad, which, on further       exploration, turned out to be the royal palace of Sargon, one of       the Assyrian kings. They found their way into its extensive       courts and chambers, and brought forth form its hidded depths       many wonderful sculptures and other relics of those ancient       times.                The work of exploration has been carried on almost       continuously by M. Botta, Sir Henry Layard, George Smith, and       others, in the mounds of Nebi-Yunus, Nimrud, Koyunjik, and       Khorsabad, and a vast treasury of specimens of old Assyrian art       has been exhumed. Palace after palace has been discovered, with       their decorations and their sculptured slabs, revealing the life       and manners of this ancient people, their arts of war and peace,       the forms of their religion, the style of their architecture,       and the magnificence of their monarchs. The streets of the city       have been explored, the inscriptions on the bricks and tablets       and sculptured figures have been read, and now the secrets of       their history have been brought to light.                One of the most remarkable of recent discoveries is that of       the library of King Assur-bani-pal, or, as the Greek historians       call him, Sardanapalos, the grandson of Sennacherib (q.v.). (See {ASNAPPER}.) This library consists of about ten thousand       flat bricks or tablets, all written over with Assyrian       characters. They contain a record of the history, the laws, and       the religion of Assyria, of the greatest value. These strange       clay leaves found in the royal library form the most valuable of       all the treasuries of the literature of the old world. The       library contains also old Accadian documents, which are the       oldest extant documents in the world, dating as far back as       probably about the time of Abraham. (See {SARGON}.)                "The Assyrian royalty is, perhaps, the most luxurious of our       century [reign of Assur-bani-pa]...Its victories and conquests,       uninterrupted for one hundred years, have enriched it with the       spoil of twenty peoples. Sargon has taken what remained to the       Hittites; Sennacherib overcame Chaldea, and the treasures of       Babylon were transferred to his coffers; Esarhaddon and       Assur-bani-pal himself have pillaged Egypt and her great cities,       Sais, Memphis, and Thebes of the hundred gates...Now foreign       merchants flock into Nineveh, bringing with them the most       valuable productions from all countries, gold and perfume from       South Arabia and the Chaldean Sea, Egyptian linen and       glass-work, carved enamels, goldsmiths' work, tin, silver,       Phoenician purple; cedar wood from Lebanon, unassailable by       worms; furs and iron from Asia Minor and Armenia" (Ancient Egypt       and Assyria, by G. Maspero, page 271).                The bas-reliefs, alabaster slabs, and sculptured monuments       found in these recovered palaces serve in a remarkable manner to       confirm the Old Testament history of the kings of Israel. The       appearance of the ruins shows that the destruction of the city       was due not only to the assailing foe but also to the flood and       the fire, thus confirming the ancient prophecies concerning it.       "The recent excavations," says Rawlinson, "have shown that fire       was a great instrument in the destruction of the Nineveh       palaces. Calcined alabaster, charred wood, and charcoal,       colossal statues split through with heat, are met with in parts       of the Nineveh mounds, and attest the veracity of prophecy."                Nineveh in its glory was (Jonah 3:4) an "exceeding great city       of three days' journey", i.e., probably in circuit. This would       give a circumference of about 60 miles. At the four corners of       an irregular quadrangle are the ruins of Kouyunjik, Nimrud,       Karamless and Khorsabad. These four great masses of ruins, with       the whole area included within the parallelogram they form by       lines drawn from the one to the other, are generally regarded as       composing the whole ruins of Nineveh.

Mining accounts for almost    25% of GDP. Namibia is the fourth-largest exporter of nonfuel minerals    in Africa and the world's fifth-largest producer of uranium. Alluvial    diamond deposits are among the richest in the world, making Namibia a    primary source for gem-quality diamonds. Namibia also produces large    quantities of lead, zinc, tin, silver, and tungsten. More than half    the population depends on agriculture (largely subsistence    agriculture) for its livelihood. Namibia must import some of its food.       National product: GDP - purchasing power parity - $5.8 billion (1994    est.)       National product real growth rate: 5.8% (1994 est.)       National product per capita: $3,600 (1994 est.)       Inflation rate (consumer prices): 11% (1994)       Unemployment rate: 35% in urban areas (1993 est.)       Budget:    revenues: $941 million    expenditures: $1.05 billion, including capital expenditures of $157    million (FY93/94)       Exports: $1.3 billion (f.o.b., 1993 est.)    commodities: diamonds, copper, gold, zinc, lead, uranium, cattle,    processed fish, karakul skins    partners: Switzerland, South Africa, Germany, Japan       Imports: $1.1 billion (f.o.b., 1993 est.)    commodities: foodstuffs, petroleum products and fuel, machinery and    equipment    partners: South Africa, Germany, US, Switzerland       External debt: about $385 million (1994 est.)       Industrial production: growth rate -14% (1993); accounts for 30% of    GDP, including mining       Electricity:    capacity: 406,000 kW    production: 1.29 billion kWh    consumption per capita: 658 kWh (1991)       Industries: meat packing, fish processing, dairy products, mining    (copper, lead, zinc, diamond, uranium)       Agriculture: accounts for 10% of GDP; livestock raising major source    of cash income; crops - millet, sorghum, peanuts; fish catch potential    of over 1 million metric tons not being fulfilled       Economic aid:    recipient: Western (non-US) countries, ODA and OOF bilateral    commitments (1970-87), $47.2 million       Currency: 1 South African rand (R) = 100 cents       Exchange rates: South African rand (R) per US$1 - 3.539 (January    1995), 3.5489 (1994), 3.2678 (1993), 2.8497 (1992), 2.7653 (1991),    2.5863 (1990)       Fiscal year: 1 April - 31 March       Namibia:Transportation       Railroads:    total: 2,341 km (single track)    narrow gauge: 2,341 km 1.067-m gauge       Highways:    total: 54,500 km    paved: 4,080 km    unpaved: gravel 2,540 km; earth 47,880 km (roads and tracks)       Ports: Luderitz, Walvis Bay       Merchant marine: none       Airports:    total: 135    with paved runways over 3,047 m: 2    with paved runways 2,438 to 3,047 m: 2    with paved runways 1,524 to 2,437 m: 14    with paved runways 914 to 1,523 m: 3    with paved runways under 914 m: 20    with unpaved runways 2,438 to 3,047 m: 1    with unpaved runways 1,524 to 2,438 m: 23    with unpaved runways 914 to 1,523 m: 70       Namibia:Communications       Telephone system: 62,800 telephones; telephone density - 38/1,000    persons    local: good urban services    intercity: fair rural service; microwave radio relay links major    towns; connections to other populated places are by open wire    international: NA       Radio:    broadcast stations: AM 4, FM 40, shortwave 0    radios: NA       Television:    broadcast stations: 3    televisions: NA       Namibia:Defense Forces       Branches: National Defense Force (Army), Police       Manpower availability: males age 15-49 348,380; males fit for military    service 206,684 (1995 est.)       Defense expenditures: exchange rate conversion - $54 million, 2% of    GDP (FY93/94)
