	Assyria
		Whether the name Assyria is derived from that of the god Asshur, or vice versa, or whether Asshur was originally the name of a particular city and afterwards applied to the whole country cannot be determined.

		For strategic reasons he transferred the seat of his kingdom from the city of Asshur to that of Kalkhi (the Chale, or Calah, of Genesis) forty miles to the north, on the eastern bank of the Tigris, and eighteen miles south of Nineveh.

		I notice you have stated that Asshur was the son of Nimrod, but nowhere in the Bible does it say he was the son of Nimrod.
		I like you, always assumed that was the case until I saw Asshur's name listed as a son of SHEM NOT CUSH.
		In this case we cannot assume the Asshur who built those cities was a son of Nimrod.

	Myth: Ellen White knew more than Bible translators (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Mrs White is right that Asshur was Shem's son, because that is attested by Gen. 10:22, but it is curious that she should inform us that, apparently, he had migrated from the area around Ararat to Babylon, only to return northward and found Nineveh.
		Arphaxad was one of Shem's sons, and a brother of Asshur's (Gen. 10:22).
		Her notion that Asshur founded Nineveh is not a complementary revelation, but a blunder caused by the KJV translators that she was unable to detect.

		Your reasoning is that because there is no mention of the name Asshur prior to the Flood, it did not exist.
		It seems, too, that the name "Asshur" in Genesis 2 is so related and tied-in with other names that it is virtually impossible to separate it from the "Asshur" of later history.
		If we can agree to assume the identity of the location of the Asshur and other names in Genesis 2 with the locations known in later, historical times, then only the matter of the origin of the names remains in question.

		The Assyrians had once overrun this very territory and claimed presents for the god Asshur from its inhabitants, but it was now fully in the control of the Mushke, and had for these fifty years been paying tribute to them, and not to the Assyrians.
