Did you know that the Biblical city of Nineveh is now called Mosul?

No, I think he's mistaken about that. Nineveh now lies in ruins, except for some restored bits. Mosul is not far away, however. Did you know that the words "Mosul" and "muslin" were cognates? Muslin was first imported into Medieval Europe from Mesopotamia.
