In 612 B.C., the empire fell to a coalition of chaldeans and medes and was divided between those two powers.
Due to the lack of records for the period of time around which the Assyrian empire fell, nobody is entirely sure why it happened. Initial examinations saw the Babylonians and Medes had defeated them, but later found works showed a civil war may have broken out before hand, contributing more to the fall than the Babylonians.

The Assyrian empire extended originally along the Tigris river in Mesopotamia (modern day Iraq), but eventually extended into regions of the Fertile Crescent as well as both upper and lower Egypt.

The Assyrian Army was constantly fighting. It usually won! In the process of constantly fighting battles, it continually lost good solders. The army wore down.

In addition, it did not have an effective way of subjecting its empire. The captured peoples became under Assyrian rule. Some of the richer native people moved away. Strangers moved into the area. Other that that, the people were a conquered people. They owed no allegiance to Assyria. Given the chance, they would join a rebellion.

Nebuchadnezzar became the king of Babylon. He attacked and captured a few Assyrian towns. Then he met two armies. He destroyed them. With the Assyrian army destroyed, Nebuchadnezzar captured the rest of the Assyrian Empire.

So Assyria fell through misgovernment of its conquered territories and constant warfare.

The Assyrians are known to create the first civilized and organized cities that also segregated the different tribes. The Assyrians because of their many victories against their opponents inherited wealth and prosperity for ages. The royal family was extremely large since their ancestors trace back over 2000b.c. Even the middle class was traced to be much more wealthier than any other empires nearby which were some of the wealthiest in their time. Poverty was not an issue for them. However, the Assyrians were very particular that every citizen had to obey the laws of Mesopotamia and live respectfully together while the powerful empire fought wars with their unbreakable chariots. If a citizen did not pay their taxes or did not follow the laws they would be enslaved.

There are two main reasons why the Neo-Assyrian Empire became so powerful between 934 Ã? 610 B.C. First, through this era, the power of Assyria was largely dependent on the success of its army (Saggs, 1962). Winer (1961) states that the Assyrian military perfected the art of war. During this time period, some 180 punitive expeditions or campaigns were launched against foreign foes, rebellious vassals or other anti-Assyrian groups (Olmstead, 1923). Second, the Assyrians developed an efficient and effective administrative system with which to maintain, supply and expand their empire.

The Assyrians where so feared because they were cruel, they would conquer empires and kill the leaders and exile, enslave and slaughter the citizens. They also had their war machine. They fought with chariots, on foot, horseback, and had good iron weapons. They were hated and feared.

The Assyrians became Syriacs, Chaldo-Assyrians, Nestorians and Chaldeans. They are a distinct ethnic group whose origins lie in northern Mesopotamia, what was Assyria. They speak, read, and write distinct dialects of Eastern Aramaic exclusive to northern Mesopotamia and its immediate surroundings. Over the centuries, a number of Assyrians also converted to Islam and became part of the Sunni Muslim Arab communities in Iraq and Syria.

The Assyrian Empire had the strongest and most deadliest military force of Ancient Mesopotamia.

According to Assurbanipal's lists the same kings and chiefs of the Meshwesh or their descendents remained in power who had been fighting each other in the time of Piye, such as Nekhau, son of Bakenrenef (Bocchoris), king of Sais and the prince of Thebes, possibly Mentuemhet. In order to consolidate their hold over Egypt, the Assyrians were moderate in the implementation of the occupation compared to their policies in other provinces, respecting local traditions as far as possible. They showed special interest for Egyptian experts, such as physicians, artisans and military specialists who were often deported to Assyria. The aquisition of horses was of major importance.

After Asarhaddon's death and Assurbanipal's victory over his brother, Taharka tried to reconquer Lower Egypt and failed. Assurbanipal redistributed the Delta: Nekhau at Sais and Memphis, Sheshonq at Busiris and the Assyrian Sharruludari at Tanis. A plot by these kings and governors to ally themselves with Taharka and divide the country among themselves, was uncovered by the Assyrian army. The generals sacked Sais, Mendes and Tanis, captured Nekhau and Sharruludari and sent them in irons to Nineveh. Pakruru who had been one of the conspirators, escaped. At Thebes Mentuemhet, Governor of the South and Prince of Thebes, restored Thebes and continued to rule the Thebaid into the reign of Psammetic I.

The Ten Tribes were exiled by the Assyrians (2 Kings ch.17) some 2600 years ago, after having been warned repeatedly by the prophets (2 Chronicles 36:15) that flirting with idolatry would not go unpunished by God.
