1400 BC to 612 BC (The Assyrian Empire Strikes Back!)
After a series of great ups and downs in its long history, the Assyrian Empire came to a final end in the year 605 B.C.E. Falling prey to attacks by a vigorous alliance of Babylonians and Medes, Assyria continued to exist as a province of its conquerors but would never again enjoy independence.

Assyria started to decline in the the second half of the 7th century BCE. Ashurbanipal (r. 669-631 BCE) is considered the last great king of the Neo-Assyrian Empire. After his death there were a number of power struggles, and the empire came to a screeching halt in 612 BCE. In that year, the Babylonians razed the capital Nineveh to the ground.

Over many years, Assyrians have been celebrating different traditions of their new country due to the Assyrian Diaspora. But, there are original Assyrian traditions, hence culture. Assyrians hold feasts (Syriac: hareh) for different patron saints, the Nineveh Rogation (Syriac: Bo'utho d-Ninwoye/Ba'uta d-Ninwaye) which is a three day fast with absolutely no food, and no water, nothing. Finally the most popular, the Assyrian New Year (Syriac: Ha b-Nison/Kha b-Nisan). Some of these traditions have been practiced by the Assyrians for well over 1,500 years, and there are many more. In the old Assyrian Empire, the Assyrians were famous for their strong and deadly military. Today's Assyrians have no country, but do have a language (Assyrian Neo-Aramiac), a church (the Assyrian Church of the East), and many political organizations (such as the Assyrian Aid Society (Zowaa) and the Assyrian Universal Alliance).

Samaria fell in 722 BCE. It was the capital of the Northern Kingdom of Israel and was conquered by the Assyrian Empire during their campaign against Israel. This event marked the end of the Northern Kingdom and led to the exile of many Israelites.
The scattering of the ten tribes of Israel, often referred to as the Assyrian Exile, occurred around 722 BCE. This event took place when the Assyrian Empire conquered the northern kingdom of Israel and deported many of its inhabitants. As a result, the ten tribes—often called the "Lost Tribes of Israel"—were dispersed and largely assimilated into surrounding cultures.
