Who were the Assyrians?

BC From 900 on the banks of the Tigris, the small kingdom of Assyria created a large and powerful army to block the attacks of nomadic invaders.

The Assyrian army did not stop, however, and brought more and more areas under its control. Their warriors attacked the neighboring peoples and successively conquered the Babylonian, Phoenician and Aramean kingdoms. Eventually, after “bloody battles”, the Assyrian Empire included the entire Middle East.

Their great kings considered themselves almost the masters of the world. Competing with each other, they built huge palaces and new cities to outdo their predecessors. The entrance to their palaces was guarded by fabulous creatures. For example, a quote from the boasting of an Assyrian king: “I surrounded 34 strong cities, as well as small cities without number, I captured them, plundered their spoils, destroyed them, destroyed them, burned them with fire. I covered the vault of the wide sky with the smoke of their burning, like some mighty storm. ”

The last great king of Assyria was Assurbanapli. This “bloodthirsty beast”, this “human skinning monster” was also a man who read a lot and dived into the depths of the past. He created the largest library in the world at the time, actually his library of clay tablets in Ninua, the capital of the Assyrian empire. There he placed the entire Sumerian and Akkadian cuneiform literature, temple texts and other old records that could still be found at the time, in original or in copies. The fact that the song about Gilgamesh and many other precious heritages of the ancient peoples of Folyóköz have survived is largely thanks to him. When the Babylonian empire and the conquering Medes razed Ninua to the ground, the famous library also fell under the ruins and then under the sand.
