Tarbisu, Archaeological site north of Nineveh, Iraq.
Tarbisu contains ruins of ancient canals, palaces, and a temple dedicated to Nergal, spanning an extensive area near modern Sherif Khan.
The location gained importance during the Middle Assyrian period, with the earliest records dating back to the rule of Arik-den-ili around 1317-1306 BC.
Archaeological excavations at the site uncovered numerous artifacts, including a royal cylinder made of red cornelian wrapped in gold leaf.
The archaeological site stands at coordinates 36°23'14"N and 43°6'56"E, approximately three miles north of ancient Nineveh in the Ninawa Governorate.
Two palaces were constructed at Tarbisu by Esarhaddon specifically for his son Ashurbanipal, connected to Nineveh by a stone-paved road.
