Impirātūrī Āshūr (Majmū'ah-yi tārīkh-i jahān): Persian 1402

Until the middle of the 19th century, the culture and civilization of ancient Mesopotamia was nothing more than a legend. , in the 1840s, the mysterious veil that covered Assyria and its neighboring cultures began to be lifted, and ancient palaces and cities were buried one after another. A century and a half of exploration, together with the translation of many Mesopotamian texts, has revealed that the Assyrians were not merely heartless destroyers, but also marvelous builders, industrious agriculturists, diligent traders, skilled artists. However, the Assyrians, more than any other ancient people, lived by aggressive military raids, campaigns wars, and looting. Their violence and tyranny towards the tribes they dominated are almost unparalleled in recorded human history. The present book, from the "World History Collection", examines the history, culture, and civilization of the Assyrian Empire and the causes of its fall from the peak of power to the depths of obscurity and obscurity.
