I've spent the last few years here in Iraq. Mainly in Erbil/Arbil but also in Mosul Ninewa. I passed by the ancient walls that ISIS destroyed. The bastids. The history just oozes out of every pore. If this place ever settles down it well worth a visit. Even Mosul! Some of the oldest cities in the world.

[@jimmooney8195]

@Spolierman So you think Hitler was so great? He and his minions invented the international highway system with cloverleafs and no need to stop. They made advances in medicine, aviation, and much other technology. No, he wasn't great. Same with the Assyrians. Their "accomplishments" were far exceeded by their extreme cruelty, invading other kingdoms and torturing and murdering the inhabitants. Try learning something about Assyrians. They were so evil that the Babylonians finally destroyed them.

[@VisionInTears]

@@jimmooney8195 I am Assyrian, we did so to protect ourselves against the animals that existed during that time, Babylonian, Persian etc. We became "evil" in order to protect ourselves until today people are still trying to wipe us out and still fail. We have a saying "Shit never stays hidden under snow" eventually when you face an Assyrian spirit, he will rip you to pieces and then you will beg God even though you don't believe in him to stop that spirit because you don't understand the spirit of an Assyrian. "The enemy that is invincible shouldn't exist" that's how afraid the people who faced the Assyrians said so. Extreme notions were chosen because "evil" people want to be free and we will never be under anyone's rule. You think england or america is not more evil, their cruelty was never spoken about anywhere about what they did in Iraq or Afghanistan etc and this is the modern world where peace is apparently is supposed to be present and International laws. Don't preach " do as I say, don't do as I do" but I don't blame you, what do you know.

[@aimanmarzuqi4804]

Nimrud is just so beautiful and really shows how really advanced they were as a civillization back then. Its a shame that it is practically destroyed now after ISIS bulldozed the site because of its "unislamic" nature. As a history major this is just too sad for me

[@valiantsfelinesmccarty6678]

I understand I was devastated when I found out they literally bulldozed the gates of Nineveh they had stood five thousand years and they were amazing there was a guy who did a video while he was over there in the military and he published it and it was so I didn't know it was that big I mean you see pictures but wow when he standing there and you see the carvings and this was real this was something somebody carved 5000 years ago it's almost impossible to wrap your head around it because you look at the gates you look at the ramp up to the gate you look at the wall that are attached the still existed and you think they did this 5000 years ago! We cannot visualize in our mind but to have it right there where you could see 5,000 years ago they could build something like that and then they just blew them up. Hateful people they pulverized it to the point there was nothing left. This is the kind of mind that thinks the World is Flat or that the lizard people Illuminati will get us.

[@valiantsfelinesmccarty6678]

@De Z I agree with you that it is so silly for any Religion Today to think that by destroying something from the past so have better control of their people. That is such foolishness it would be like stepping back in time A Thousand Years. But of course they're forcing their people to live a thousand years ago type of life. And they threatened modern society with that lifestyle their own people are accepting it those who even escaped and were able to get to moderate countries now are living extremists lives. They live them out of fear they live them out of conversion and they live it out of loneliness no one wants to be ostracized from that which they are familiar with. If you're not allowed to go to your favorite religious site because they consider you unclean then you will do everything in your power to make yourself clean or you will find a new religion but if it is dangerous for you to do so you will then do everything to fit in even if it is the giving up of your very soul. How sad that a religion like this can still survive in this world. Yet look at the people who are being put on trial and Idaho in the United States this year and the family members who paid the ultimate price for not being perfect an understanding the price of that religion those people professed. When a religion professes that you must follow us or you are not worthy in must die there is something seriously wrong with it. Now we must admit many of the main religions in the world have been that way in ancient times it was a way for them to control the masses get the money they need it but we also need to remember that the only hospitals and caretakers of the poor in ancient times were these religious or philosophical sects. We can see what happens when they are no longer available such as would happen with Henry the 8th when he destroyed his standing religion the Catholic church in his country took all of the land the wealth Etc and placed it within his own coffers and that of his minions and kicked all the nuns and Priests out into the street. But it was really they who suffered it was his own subjects who now no longer had a hospital to go to. They no longer had a place to die. They no longer had a place to leave children who had no family. And they no longer had a place where is the people they could join together in times of strife and in times of joy I had to make a choice all of a sudden between the King's religion or the old one and which one did you choose which one would lead to safety and which one would lead to death? How many centuries has it taken and yet they still continued to lead to safety and death at the same time in that Kingdom? The power of the old church has never been broken. The reign of the new church is strong. They both leave the kingdom in turmoil. And if people are still free to believe in other churches other religions other philosophies. A good alternative.

You simply need more gravity to make fusing iron possible. Black hole is same proton in other level. It's building an atom, very big one. Welcome to heaven:) where god/gravity could jail the light, or conserve the energy. This means that the black hole is an archive, one unity, complete simulation, ready to go AI. We are all same, divided by devil or big bang. I doesn't exist. This is philosophy of consciousness, the final result will be.

@@TheYOUSIFYOUSIF There is more evidence in support of modern Assyrians being the descendants of ancient Assyrians than otherwise. Also, modern Assyrians retained much more of the ancient language, culture, and customs, than any other ethnic group, and many of the ancient customs can only be found in the modern Assyrian community. And it's not like the ancient Assyrians vanished and suddenly a group of modern people popped up and started calling themselves "Assyrian" for shits and giggles. The term has been used after the fall of the empire, through the Hellenistic period, the middle ages, and early modern period to refer to a distinct group of people living in the area known as the "Assyrian Triangle", because the Assyrians never vanished. So, considering all the linguistic, cultural, and genetic distinctions (all majorly influenced by ancient Mesopotamian ancestry) that sets them apart from *every other ethnic group* in Mesopotamia and beyond, who else could they possibly be if not the descendants of their ancient namesake? Because they sure as hell didn't come from nowhere, and I don't see any other ethnic group claiming to descend from the ancient Assyrians, or ancient Mesopotamians in general.

Assyrians had the most powerful military of the ancient near east took the Persians and Babylonians and rebellions every where to destroy them.

[@rasheedelakhlaqsiz4753]

In the end and with so much internal turmoil and fighting, that powerful military became weaker and was annihilated by mostly Nabuchadnasser and his army, and the Medes to a lesser extent!

[@TRAINAlytics]

@@rasheedelakhlaqsiz4753 The Medes played the decisive role. The war was largely a stalemate between 626 and 614, which was when the Medes really got involved. That shifted the balance very quickly.

[@lilripsta911]

@@TRAINAlytics Synthians and Cimmerians were involved too, it basically took a Coalition plus a civil war to take them down

[@AlenOfAshur]

not only a coalition of medes, persians, babylonians, scythians…, but a scientific analysis that was done a few years ago stated that the fall of the Assyrian empire began two centuries before, with devastating climate changes that withered the entire region, add nonstop civil wars to that and it was just a matter of time till it all came down. the coalition of nations against Assyria were just patiently waiting for that ripe time to attack, it’s as if the whole universe was determined to bring Assyria to destruction. An amazing legacy finally ended. A nation of so many firsts, which ran an empire for 1300 years , and set the standard for all future empires after her. The Medes and Persians literally mimicked the same empire they hated and warred with, as Assyria, love her or hate her, was the Model for all.

Does anyone else ever think about the fact that your ancestors all managed to live through the most horrific things imaginable, wars, plagues, famine, invasions.

Your ancestors lived through the stone age, bronze age, iron age and on. All those stories lost to time. In my case, it was all for nothing as I didn't have children.
