Assyrian+Introduction





The Ancient Assyrian Empire was located in the area that is now known as Middle East. It began in northern Mesopotamia, on the upper Tigris River. The three main city-states were Nineveh, Calah and Assur (the latter being the capitol).

The Assyrians were primarily militaristic but also had artistic and technological innovations. .................................................................................................
