It's amazing. You look like the ancient sculptures brought to life. The great Kings of Assyria when alive must have resembled man like yourself. It's great that a son of Assyria, has developed a KZread page to properly educate people about the history of the great Assyrian people.

@@tableofgods You are welcome. It's simply the truth. How many nations, a people can say like the Assyrian people, that they have an unbroken history, connection to their ancestors all the way to the Bronze Age days of Sumerians, Akkadians, and Elamites. Also, it would be one thing to say such but bear little resemblance to them. However, it's in your face, the eyes, the cheekbones, the pattern of hair and beard growth, resembles the representations they left behind from so long ago. That's phenotypical, and the phenotype stems from genetics. You just ARE a true son of Assyria. That is fascinating to an amateur historian like myself. Too many history books act like because the alliance defeated the Assyrian Empire's government, that the people disappeared. Nope! Here you are still, persisting through the centuries and then 2600+ years to today. The Equivalent would be if a modern people could trace their history all the way back to the Indus Civilization, with the language and oral traditions intact. Here's something legit and interesting as well. Usually with ancient monuments, modern restoration efforts feel "fake" because it's not the sane people as the ancients using their hands to do the task. However, in the Assyrians case, restoring the damage those terrorists did would simply be the Assyrian people hands restoring what Assyrian people of another time's hands constructed in the first place.

I think It's awesome that the great people, the Assyrians are still extant. Justly proud in my opinion, I've been a long time admirer of the great realm especially of the Early Iron Age period, when the Assyrian Empire was the most powerful, most advanced country in the world. People talk of Babylon, yes, it was a great realm, but actually, Assyria was just as great if not greater, especially, when Egypt was taken. The first great Library in the world was that of Assurbanipal. Imagine the knowledge in it. Surely things not known now, like the Indus Civilization's true name, culture, and language. Since they ruled over the Phoenicians and thus knew about the Eastern Mefiterranean, perhaps the Minoans and their true name, culture, and language. In his time, 650 B.C., or so, the Assyrian Empire was both the greatest military power, and advanced Civilization.

Monsieur 170, l'Assyrie fait partie de l'histoire, donc dire qu'un jour vous la récupérerai n'est que pure illusion. Elle est déjà dans les livres d'histoire, l'apprendre c'est déjà bien, mais dire que demain l'Assyrie va faire surface, je ne le crois pas. Il faut vivre dans le monde d'aujourd'hui sans oublier ce que nous sommes. Combien de peuples sont passés par là ? Nous avons tous été modelé par une seule et même main. Et remonter aussi loin dans ses origines n'est pas à mon avis possible, ce sont des peuples très anciens qui ont disparus et remplacé par d'autres peuples tout naturellement ainsi va l'humanité. Le Saint Coran dit ainsi soit-il. Et l'Éternel est maître de tout l'univers.

City states while there were still mammouths walking around in Siberia. I was always fascinated with Mesopotamia and whenever I happen to fly over the region i look down on Euphrat and Tigris seeing the moonlight reflected in the water..There is something magical about this place

La Mésopotamie est une très grande civilisation au monde , mais vous dire que vous appartenez a ce vieux peuple, j'en suis pas si sûr. Vous pouvez comme toute personne apprrendre l'histoire de ce peuple, en être subjugué certains, mais les origines se discute. Apprendre la langue et l'histoire d'un peuple ne peut nous autoriser à nous donner une origine sans en avoir la preuve. Car ce sont des peuples Anciens.
