People of Ancient Assyria

Description

AS Assyria merely a more brutal, more uncivilized and less interesting offshoot of the culture created by Sumerians and
Babylonians in Southern Mesopotamia at the dawn of history? Do the countless Assyrian reliefs that fill our museums give a
complete picture of the phenomenon that was Assyria? Was the contribution of this people to world culture merely an
incredibly effective military organization? Is it a true picture of Assyria that the reliefs and annals give us, with their
presentation of war chariots, archers, battering-rams surrounding besieged cities, the punishment of prisoners of war, and the
triumphal march of the Assyrian army through the realms of the Near East? Have we no evidence of the human element behind
this phenomenon? How far may we rely on the Biblical descriptions of the cruelty of the Assyrian armies and the depravity of
Assyrian cities? How are we, who can look back on the incredible events of the European wars of religion, on the conduct of
Europeans towards the Indians of America, and on man's recent treatment of his fellow-man, to judge these Assyrians?
