Decription



Begginning around 850 b.c. Assyria aqured a large empire. The Assyian army advanced across Southeat Asia for more than two centuries. Its military was so strong it overwhelmed their foes.The Assyrians came from Mesopotamia, and becuase of their flat land, people were able to attrack them easily. Becuase of the costant warfare, the Assyrian kings built an empire that streched from east to north of the Tigris River all the way to Central Egypt. King Sebbacherib bragged about all the cities and villiages he had destryoed.
Assyria had insane military stength. Their Soldiers were well equipped for conquering an empire, making use of ironworking technology helped them with weapons and armor.Advance planning helped with to lay seige to enemy cities.
King Sennecherib was an example of a fearsome warrior.He had burned Babylon and also established Assyrias capital at Nineveh along the Tigris River. King Ashurbanipal collected more than 20,000 clay tablets from the Fertile Crsent for Nineveh's worlds largest Libriary.
