The Good News Is That They Didn't...
http://www.rawstory.com/2017/01/iraqi-fo...-in-mosul/

Quote:Iraqi forces say IS destroyed historic tomb of Jonah in Mosul

as "jonah" is just as much a bullshit story as the rest of that fucking book.  The bad news is that they did blow up an Assyrian shrine to some other made up god/goddess.


Quote:Before its destruction, the site included an Assyrian temple that is believed to have been built around 1300 B.C. It also hosted a mosque that was built about four centuries ago during the Ottoman Empire.

Sermed Alwan, an Iraqi archeologist and president of Mesopotamia Heritage Association, the graveyard site attributed to Prophet Jonah was built six centuries ago, although it has been disputed whether the tomb belongs to the storied figure.
