Summary

Assyria, frequently referred to as the Assyrian Empire, was a Mesopotamian kingdom and empire in the Ancient Near East that lasted from maybe the 25th century BC (in the form of the Assur city-state till its collapse between 612 BC and 605 BC, covering the Early to Middle Bronze Age to the Late Iron Age).

The Early Period (which was from about 2500 to 2025 BC), Old Assyrian Empire (2025 to 1378 BC), Middle Assyrian Empire (from 1392 to 934 BC), and Neo-Assyrian Empire (911 to 605 BC) are the four periods that comprise the Assyrian Empire.

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.
