Saan matagpuan ang Assyria
 Ang Assyria ay matagpuan sa bulubunduking rehiyong
nasa hilaga ng Babylonia
 Ang rehiyong ito ay nagmula sa Tigris at umaabot
hanggang sa mataas na kabundukan ng Armenia.
 Bunga ng kanilang nakapaloob na paninirahang lupain,
kinailangang makidigma ang mga Assyrian sa mga
kalapit na lungsod-estado upang mapanatiling bukas ang
kanilang daanang pangkalakalan.

Assur at Nineveh.

Assyrian Cuneiform
 Cuneiform is a system of writing first developed by the

ancient Sumerians of Mesopotamia c. 3500-3000 BCE. It is
considered the most significant among the many cultural
contributions of the Sumerians and the greatest among those
of the Sumerian city of Uruk which advanced the writing of
cuneiform c. 3200 BCE. 
 All of the great Mesopotamian civilizations used cuneiform until

it was abandoned in favour of the alphabetic script at some


point after 100 BCE, including:
 Sumerians
 Akkadians
 Babylonians
 Elamites
 Hatti

 Hittites

 Assyrians
 Hurrians 

Aramaic
 The official language of the three main Assyrian churches is
Syriac, a dialect of Aramaic, the language Jesus would have
spoken. Many Assyrians speak Aramaic dialects, though they
often speak the local languages of the regions where they live
as well.
 Linguistically, the original Assyrian people (2500 years ago)
spoke the ancient Assyrian language, which was in the eastern
branch of the Semitic family. ... Arabic and Aramaic have a lot
more in common, being Central-West Semitic languages.

existing sculptures in the round shed light
on Assyrian numerical systems and politics

Kabihasnan ng Assyria
Mga Assyrian ang kaunaunahang pangkat na nakabuo
ngepektibong sistema ng pamumunosa imperyo. Kinopya ng
ibang pangkat sa Malapit na Silangan ang pamamalakad ng
Imperyong Assyrian. Kauna-unahang aklatan na may 200,000
tabletang luwad na itinayo ni Ashurbanipal. Ang patuloy na
pag-aalsa ng mga lungsod tulad ng Media at Babylonia na
nasakop ng Assyria ay nakapagbawas nang malaki sa yaman ng
Assyria at nagpahina sa hukbo nito. Nagkaisa ang mga
Chaldeans, Medes, at Persiano noong 612 B.C. upang
pagtulungang salakayin ang Assyria
Ang pagbagsak ng mga Hittite
Pakikipag-alyansa mg mga Hittite sa Egypt na nagging dahilan ng
paghihimagsikng mga kaalyado nito sa silangan at kanlurang bahagi
ng imperyo.Salik din nito ang paglawak ng kapangyarihan ng mga 
Griyego na nagbunsod sa pagdating ng mga tribo mula sa palibot
ng Dagat  Aegean sa hilagang bahagi ng imperyong Hittite.Isa sa mga
tribung ito,ang Mitas ng Phyrygia;ay lumusob at sinunog ang
Hattusas nong 1200 B.C.E. Nanatiling nakatayo ang ilang lunsod-
estado ng mga Hittite nang 500 taon.Naitatag ang Carchemist bilang
kabisera sa silangan; ngunit nasakop ito noong 717 B.C.E. ng
Assyria . Ito at naging dahilan ng pagwawakas ng pamahalaang Hittite
sa Mesopotamia.
