46. Jonah’s Tomb, Iraq

The city of Nineveh has a history that goes back to the Neolithic period, possibly as early as 6000 BC. That was over 8000 years ago. However, the tomb in question at the ruins of the city dates back to about the 8th Century BC, a tomb which many have associated with Jonah.

You know Jonah, he was the man who got eaten by a fish (or whale) and survived. Unfortunately, the tomb, which may have belonged to this well-known Biblical figure has been destroyed, with very little of it remaining. If you were planning to check out the city (and I don’t recommend it right now), it will unfortunately be a sight that is less than impressive.
