Off course, since Jonah boarded ship in Joppa, the whale would first have had to swim out the Straights of Gibraltar, circumnavigated the continent of Africa, passed through Hormuz and thence up the Tigris.

To do this in 3 days time would have been difficult, but not impossible. Well, virtually impossible. Okay, Jonah probably had to walk across Aram from the Mediterranean coast to infiltrate Nineveh.

*** Oh boy! Check this guy out. He says,

Today Nineveh is 1000 miles from the sea yet Jonah the prophet , swallowed by the Whale fame, lived there and was buried there. Jonah did not walk 1000 miles to be swallowed by a Whale the sea was proximate to Nineveh at that time.

I'm really taking a chance linking to him here. Apostolics tend to pick up on this type of wackiness and embarrass themselves.
