The Arabs were not the ones who called this city Nimrud. The Assyrians did. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 12.27.22.194 (talk • contribs) .

Date of sacking

the article mentions 612 like the fall of Niniveh but other sources [1] [2]

say 614 whereas another [3] says 614-612 BC.

are there any more sources?


It is also referred to as "Kalhu" when the Assyrian king Shalmaneser made it the new capital in the Neo-Assyrian period. (Originally accidentally posted this on the article, sorry about that) Twisby 13:57, 15 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

to answer myself: this german site expains that it was taken and burned in 614 but the final destruction was in 612 Agathoclea 23:31, 8 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
