Nineveh

Nineveh was an ancient city, one of the oldest in the world, said in legend to have been founded by Noah's great-grandson Nimrod.

The settlement was later destroyed by the Babylonians in the 6th century BC. Indiana Jones briefly visited the ruins in 1934 with Faye and Mystery Maskelyne while journeying in search of the Yezidi who were in possession of the Staff of Aaron. However, the Yezidi had actually been following the group for the past ten miles.

Behind the scenes
Nineveh was a real city which fell in the 7th century BC, not the 6th as asserted by Indiana Jones in Indiana Jones and the Secret of the Sphinx.
