The incredible inscriptions reference the Assyrian king Esarhaddon, who is mentioned in the Hebrew Bible, as reported by LiveScience. One inscription, translated, reads: "The palace of Esarhaddon, strong king, King of the world, King of Assyria, Governor of Babylon, King of Sumer and Akkad, King of the kings of lower Egypt, upper Egypt and Kush [an ancient kingdom located south of Egypt in Nubia]."

According to ancient inscriptions found at other archaeological sites, Kush leaders once ruled Egypt. The latest inscriptions detailed that Esarhaddon defeated the Kush rulers and chose new rulers to govern the nation.

Another inscription found under the Tomb of Jonah says that Esarhaddon "reconstructed the temple of the god Aššur [the chief god of the Assyrians]," rebuilt the ancient cities of Babylon and Esagil, and "renewed the statues of the great gods."

The inscriptions reveal some of Esarhaddon's family history, saying that he is the son of Sennacherib [reign 704–681 B.C.] and a descendant of Sargon II (reign 721–705 B.C.), who was also "King of the world, King of Assyria."

The inscriptions are not the only discovery that ISIS inadvertently led researchers to beneath the tomb. Last year, as archaeologists assessed the extensive damage caused by the militants, they found a vast 600 B.C. palace.
