We the modern Assyrians are connected by our native Aramaic language, Aramaic is also spoken in Israel. Given the vast Assyrian empire from 9th to 6th BC some Assyrian look more European and some more dark complication. My family all have green/blue eyes and light hair and skin. The big question is who were the Assyrians kings and their bloodline since they only married their own kind to keep corruption out, but it never worked and their was always civil war. Hope that helps!

May you show us historic connection between the ancient Assyrians and their lineage kinship with the new Assyrian people of contemporary people of Germany? History shows us that After Trebeta abdicated his own father's throne, his step-mother Nourerta, upon knowing the fatal death of her husband, King Ninos, she chased her son-in-law Trebeta who fled with his own army contingency heading north-West till they reached a northern region of what is Germany and built the oldest city in Europe called "Trier. I know that the German call themselves "Alamn" which is an ancient Assyrian word for "Our people". Thank you for your rich information.
