Even so, the unthinkable happened! By the end of the seventh century B.C.E., Assyria had been conquered by the Babylonians and the Medes. Eventually, Nineveh was abandoned and vanishd from memory! "By the Middle Ages," states a publication by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New Yor, "the site was abandoned and buried, and Nineveh was remembered principally through the Bible." According to the Biblical Archaeology Society Online Archive, by the early 1800's, "no one even knew whether the great Assyrian capital ever really existed." But in 1845, archaeologists Austen Henry Layard started excavating the site of Nineveh. The ruins discovered on the site testified to Nineveh's past glory.
The accurate fulfillment of the prophecies about Nineveh strengthens our confidence that Bible prophecies regarding the end of today's political powers will be fulfilled. - DANIEL 2:44; REVELATION 19:15, 19-21.
