	Ashurbanipal
		Ashurbanipal is remembered as one of the most cultured rulers in the Mesopotamian region: He was literate in both Sumerian and old Akkadian scripts — uncommon for rulers of the epoch — and he supported the establishment of the first systematically organized library in the Middle East.
		From monumental presentations of Ashurbanipal, we see him in situations of hunting, archery and horseriding, but this could be propaganda for his qualities and abilities.
		After Ashurbanipal the Assyrian kingdom started to fall apart, but this is not considered to be his fault.

	ASHURBANIPAL in the Bible Encyclopedia - ISBE (Bible History Online)
		Ashurbanipal is generally believed to be the great and noble Osnappar (Ezr 4:10).
		Another reference in the Old Testament, at least to one of the acts of Ashurbanipal, is the prophecy of Nahum, who in predicting the downfall of Nineveh, said, "Art thou (Nineveh) better than No-amon?" This passage is illustrated by the annals of the king, in which he recounts the destruction of the city.
		Above all else Ashurbanipal is famous for the library he created, because of which he is perhaps to be considered the greatest known patron of literature in the pre-Christian centuries.
