At the same time that Babylon was raising to greatness in southern Mesopotamia, in Northern Mesopotamia another group was growing strong. The Assyrians were a much more warlike people than the Babylonians. They were also known as great traders. Their caravans traveled all over the place, bringing goods to trade as well as food and wine to various cities in Mesopotamia. The Assyrians did not create small statues like the Sumerians or Babylonians. Instead the Assyrians painted on ceramics. Most of their paintings dealt with battles and the life of a warrior. We have learned a lot about how the Assyrians went to battle and how soldiers lived through their paintings. The Assyrians lived in towns. Even though they were herders and goat traders, they also had places to settle when they grew tired of the nomadic life. In their towns, they sometimes built huge buildings. We are not sure what these buildings were for but they were decorated with demons.
