	Assyria - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Unlike the situation in the Old Assyrian period, the Anatolian metal trade was effectively dominated by the Hittites and the Hurrians.
		In 738 BC, in the reign of Menahem, king of Israel, Tiglath-Pileser III occupied Philistia and invaded Israel, imposing on it a heavy tribute (2 Kings 15:19).
		However, the Assyrian people have managed to keep their identity, and still exist as a distinct ethnic group, mainly in northern Iraq, where they are distinguished from their Arab, Kurdish, and Turkmen neighbors by their traditions, politics, Christian religion, and Aramaic dialect.

		The Assyrian Empire was a thorn in the side for Israel and Judah for the whole term of her existence.
		The Babylonians were so closely connected with the Assyrian Empire, so that even though Assyria lost power with the fall of Nineveh, the Babylonians inherited so much of what had been Assyrian that historians, and even Bible writers as well, often refer to Babylonian Kings and Persian Kings as Kings of Assyria.

	The Later Kings of Israel: A Kingdom's Downfall
		A century later, when the Assyrian menace appeared again, the northern Israelite armies were reduced to "fifty horsemen, ten chariots, and ten thousand foot soldiers; for the king of Syria had destroyed them" (2Kings 13:7).
		Pul (Tiglath-pileser) king of Assyria came against the land; and Menahem gave Pul a thousand talents of silver, that his hand might be with him to strengthen the kingdom under his control.
		We see a marked contrast between the boisterous claims of the Assyrian kings--who never admitted to losing any battles--and the biblical narrative, which is frank and honest about their kings' moral lapses and sins and their resulting defeats.

	World-Ruling Empires and Bible Prophecy - from BibleStudy.org
		Assyrian policy was to deport conquered peoples to other lands, to destroy their sense of nationalism, and make them more easily subject.
		As the policy of Assyrian and Babylonian kings had been to deport conquered peoples, that is take them away out of their own lands, and scatter them in other lands; so, the policy of the Persian kings were more humane than Assyrian and Babylonian Kings.
		One of the first acts of the first Persian king, Cyrus, who was a "singularly noble and just monarch," in his first year, was to authorize the Return of the Jews to their own land.

	Ethics of Assyrian, Babylonian, and Persian Empires by Sanderson Beck

		Assyrian military campaigns against Elam in the eighth century BC increased in the seventh century, climaxing in 639 BC when Ashurbanipal's armies destroyed Susa and sowed the land with salt.

	"Forgotten Empires" Remembered - Text
		One of his first acts as king was to restore the native succession in Babylon (the coup which brought him to power is attributed to a religious outrage at his father's sack of the holy city of Babylon).
		Judging from the letter sent by Burnaburiash II to the king of Egypt,[36] in which he demands that he do no business with the Assyrian, his servant, it seems that we have the same system of tiered authority as in Israel and Syria at this time.
		The interesting question of whether the campaigns ascribed to the later Mitannian kings were invented out of whole cloth or whether they were in fact campaigns conducted by the native Assyrian kings is worthy of further study.

	Assuruballit
		In Assyria were found king lists in which the names of the kings and the number of years of their reigns are given, and nothing more.
		Since these kings, by the conventional chronology, were placed in the 14th century, the Assyrian king Assuruballit was looked for in the then available king lists.
		In the Assyrian sources there is no reference to any contact of the king Assuruballit, son of Eriba-Adad, with Amenhotep III or Akhnaton, and nothing that would substantiate the claim that he was the author of two letters in the el-Amarna collection.

	The Assyrians and the Permanent Iraqi Constitution - Assyrian News Agency
		That was the Assyrians’ biggest calamity in their homeland Iraq when most of the politicians in the beginning of the establishment of the State’s political and intellectual thought were saturated with religious, political and military ideas towards the Assyrians.
		The Assyrian national unity was hurt because the Iraqi mentality in the contemporary Iraqi thought didn’t desire or was incapable to differentiate between considering the Assyrians as a deeply rooted Iraqi nationality with different denominations and religions, and between their different sectarian names.
		The Assyrians don’t accept a replacement for their proud, true Assyrian identity and a people who have endured all these centuries refusing compromises and half solutions even with all the temptations, such a people is capable of enduring for centuries more in the face of tribulations in order to preserve its existence.
