This book is the first of its kind and takes an in-depth look at one of the oldest nations in the world, while documenting various traditions and rituals tracing Assyrian lineage from cuneiform, the beginning of time and writing, until now. Their rich history has engaged various archaeological groups throughout the world to visit their homelands and conduct various excavations, which has led to incredible ancient discoveries that have been housed in universities and museums for centuries. Their heartland is called the Cradle of Civilization, and their legacy has earned the prestigious name of History of the World. They were one of the first people to convert to Christianity and have been mentioned in the Bible and various books throughout time. This book highlights information on their artifacts, including one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, the Hanging Gardens. We also take an insider look at some topics that have been extensively chronicled and studied, such as religion, the legendary Winged Bulls, the famous Tree of Life, and angels.

Although the biblical accounts of the assyrians are among the most interesting and are often corroborated with other historical sources, the assyrians were much more than just the enemies of the israelites and brutal thugs. A historical survey of ancient assyrian culture reveals that although they were the supreme warriors of their time, they were also excellent merchants, diplomats, and highly literate people who recorded their history and religious rituals and ideology in great detail. Assyria was a semitic-speaking kingdom based upon the tigris river in upper mesopotamia, an area that included northern iraq, northeast syria, and southeast turkey, and also fringe parts of northwest iran in modern-day terms. In this guide, you will all you need to know, according to what has been discovered, about the assyrian empire, their history, and their culture. The assyrians were relentless. You can pretty much say that they hated failure so much that they attempted three times to rule the world. This book will discuss those three attempts, and will include facts on who lead each of them and what happened to them. You will be learning about facts and values from the contents of this book. The city of nimrud was one of the assyrians' most important cities, and it has been known by many different names throughout its history. In ancient assyrian, the city was called kalḫu, a name first attested to in texts dating back to the 13th century bce. In the bible, it is known as calah, and the city is now called nimrud from an association with the biblical figure nimrod.

*Includes pictures *Discusses Assyrian military tactics, religious practices, and more *Includes ancient Assyrian accounts documenting their military campaigns and more *Includes a bibliography for further reading "I fought daily, without interruption against Taharqa, King of Egypt and Ethiopia, the one accursed by all the great gods. Five times I hit him with the point of my arrows inflicting wounds from which he should not recover, and then I laid siege to Memphis his royal residence, and conquered it in half a day by means of mines, breaches and assault ladders." - Esarhaddon "I captured 46 towns...by consolidating ramps to bring up battering rams, by infantry attacks, mines, breaches and siege engines." - Sennacherib When scholars study the history of the ancient Near East, several wars that had extremely brutal consequences (at least by modern standards) often stand out. Forced removal of entire populations, sieges that decimated entire cities, and wanton destruction of property were all tactics used by the various peoples of the ancient Near East against each other, but the Assyrians were the first people to make war a science. When the Assyrians are mentioned, images of war and brutality are among the first that come to mind, despite the fact that their culture prospered for nearly 2,000 years. Like a number of ancient individuals and empires in that region, the negative perception of ancient Assyrian culture was passed down through Biblical accounts, and regardless of the accuracy of the Bible's depiction of certain events, the Assyrians clearly played the role of adversary for the Israelites. Indeed, Assyria (Biblical Shinar) and the Assyrian people played an important role in many books of the Old Testament and are first mentioned in the book of Genesis: "And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel and Erech, and Akkad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. Out of that land went forth Ashur and built Nineveh and the city Rehoboth and Kallah." (Gen. 10:10-11). Although the Biblical accounts of the Assyrians are among the most interesting and are often corroborated with other historical sources, the Assyrians were much more than just the enemies of the Israelites and brutal thugs. A historical survey of ancient Assyrian culture reveals that although they were the supreme warriors of their time, they were also excellent merchants, diplomats, and highly literate people who recorded their history and religious rituals and ideology in great detail. The Assyrians, like their other neighbors in Mesopotamia, were literate and developed their own dialect of the Akkadian language that they used to write tens of thousands of documents in the cuneiform script (Kuhrt 2010, 1:84). Furthermore, the Assyrians prospered for so long that their culture is often broken down by historians into the "Old", "Middle", and "Neo" Assyrian periods, even though the Assyrians themselves viewed their history as a long succession of rulers from an archaic period until the collapse of the neo-Assyrian Empire in the 7th century BCE. In fact, the current divisions have been made by modern scholars based on linguistic changes, not on political dynasties (van de Mieroop 2007, 179). The Assyrians: The History of the Most Prominent Empire of the Ancient Near East traces the history and legacy of Assyria across several millennia. Along with pictures of important people, places, and events, you will learn about the history of the Assyrians like never before, in no time at all.
