Text from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asshur

Asshur, son of Shem, the son of Noah. Asshur's brothers were Elam, Aram, Arpachshad and Lud. His realm came to be ruled and expanded due to Nimrod's efforts, with whom his story has become merged.
* Asshur was an alternate name for the Babylonian deity Anshar.
* Ashur is the Hebrew word for Assyria.

Nineveh (Assyrian city of "Ninua") was an important city in ancient Assyria, lying within the area of the modern city of Mosul in Iraq. This "exceeding great city" as it is called in the Book of Jonah, lay on the eastern bank of the Tigris, along which it stretched for some 50 kilometres (30 miles), having an average breadth of 20 km (10 mi) or more from the river back toward the eastern hills. This whole extensive space is now one immense area of ruins.
Situated at the confluence of the Tigris and Khosr, Nineveh was an important junction for commercial routes crossing the Tigris. Occupying a central position on the great highway between the Mediterranean and the Indian Ocean, thus uniting the East and the West, wealth flowed into it from many sources, so that it became one of the greatest of all ancient cities.

Text from;<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sumerian_king_list>
Enmebaragesi (Me-Baragesi, En-Men-Barage-Si, Enmebaragisi), according to the Sumerian king list, was a king of Kish who subdued Elam and reigned 900 years, but was captured single handedly by Dumuzid "the fisherman" of Uruk, predecessor of Gilgamesh.
He is of particular interest because he is the first name on the king list who can be proven to have existed through archaeology. For that matter, he is the first person in world history who can be proven archaeologically. These remains consist of two alabaster vase fragments with inscriptions about him found at Nippur.
He is also mentioned in a section of the Epic of Gilgamesh, Gilgamesh and Aga of Kish, as the father of Aga who seiged Uruk. The king list agrees in making him the father of Aga, last of the dynasty at Kish, for whom inscriptions have also been found. Hence the fragments authenticating their existence have generally been supposed as also authenticating Gilgamesh as a historical king of Uruk, not merely a mythological figure.
