What was the capital of Assyria?
There were for capitals of the Assyrian Empire at different times. The small, self-governing merchant city of Assur was the first capital of Assyria, which has its origins in the 20th century BC It became a territorial power in the 14th and 13th centuries BC and survived until 605 BC The next capital was at Tell Leilan, otherwise known as Shekhna in antiquity, and had been part of the Akkadian Empire. When the Assyrian king, Shamshi-Ada I (1813 - 1781 BC conquered the region, he revived the long abandoned site and made it the capital of his kingdom. The city of Nimrud, or Kalhu in antiquity, was the next location of Assyria's capital. It was founded in the Middle Assyrian Period, by king Ashurnasirpal II in around 880 BC In 867 BC Ashurnasirpal II dedicated a new royal palace (known as the Northwest Palace) to serve as a government centre and the royal residence, which is located just north of Baghdad in modern day Iraq. This capital lasted until around 710 BC The final capital of Assyria was the city of Nineveh, which was located on the eastern bank of the Tigris, from about 710 BC Although Nineveh was the centre for the worship of Ishtar the goddess of fertility, war, sex and love, the archaeological record shows that Nineveh did not experience a large amount of building programs until the reign of Sennacherib (704 - 681 BC). Nineveh's reign as capital was short-lived, however, as the city was repeatedly attacked by the Medes and finally fell in 612 when the great Assyrian civilization came to an end.
