Mosul = Nineveh
The Atrabasis Flood story is even older than the Gilgamesh and Noah flood story.
King Ashurbanipal is the one who moved the Northern Tribes to the Nineveh area.

Gilgamesh, the oldest written story known to exist. Is that the one with the Skipper, Mary Ann & the Professor?

Nineveh was near modern Mosul but on the other side of the river. Shalmaneser V (726-722 B.C.) besieged and captured Samaria (2 Kings 17.4-6 & 18.9), but apparently the actual deportation of the Israelites took place under his successor Sargon II (721-705). Ashurbanipal is later (668-c. 627 B.C.)
