ancient Assyrian city built by Nimrod, later called Nimrud
Calah was one of the great cities of Assyria, built according to Genesis 10 during Nimrod's empire-building. Located at the strategic junction of the Upper Zab and Tigris rivers, it corresponds to the Assyrian Kalhu and the modern archaeological site of Nimrud in northern Iraq. The city served as an important Assyrian capital at various periods. Its mention in Genesis 10:11-12 places it among the foundational cities of Mesopotamian civilization, demonstrating the Bible's geographical awareness of the ancient Near East.
