Assyria

Those were primitive governments. As the world was divided, battles have been fought. For more than 1000 years, people turned into warriors and then came the Hammurabi code which was the first known coded set of rules in history. These battling groups of people united surrounding neighbors' who became the empires of our history beginning with the Babylonian empire followed by the Persian, the Greek and the Roman Empire.

He is best known because of his presence in the Bible. He was also one of the most powerful kings of Babylon we have evidence for, but his fame is due to his presence in the Bible.

Assyrians had Kings(rulers). King Ashur, King Sargon, etc... They each made contributions towards Assyrian culture and society. There were many Kings in Assyria

each conquered land was ruled a governor chosen from its people

The priests were in charge of managing the religious business of the kingdom

Yes (Genesis ch.10).

The Assyrian army was much better than the Babylonian Army, because they had a tactical offensive very well planned.

assyarions

Knocking down defences(Walls,Gates etc) in ordr to gain acces to another area. Its a quite simple concept.

Yes

The Assyrian King Esarhaddon attempted to conquer Egypt in 673 BC, but was defeated. Two years later he made a new attempt and was successful.

The Akkadians, Babylonians and Assyrians established control and protection of the city-states and tribes within the empires they created, as opposed to the independent Sumerian city-states which warred with each other.

Even in the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament), Ninevah was considered a major destination-- in the Book of Job, the relunctant prophet is told to go there, and it is called a "great city," but one that is also known for wickedness. Historically, we know that Ninevah (which would be in Iraq today, close to the city of Mosul) was one of the oldest cities in the ancient world-- some sources say it was settled as early as 6000 BCE. Not only was it a major center of trade and commerce in ancient Assyria, but it was the home location for the worship of the goddess Ishtar.

By the mid-20th century BCE, Sumerian Civilization had already been through a lot. It had been co-opted by the Akkadians, conquered by the Guti and it had thrown off its invaders, and started a new Sumerian Empire with Ur as its capitol. The Hittites were a warlike people, from the city of Hattusa in Anatolia. They were big fans of chariots, which they used to great effect. They were also excellent metalworkers. They were also perhaps the first empire to see the value of iron. The Hittites used 9 languages within their territories. The Akkadian language is used for communication while the Sumerian language is used for literature. Despite their notorious characteristics, the Assyrians built the first ever library in history. This library had 200,000 clay tablets. The library was located in the empire's capital. They constructed beautiful and orderly roads and highways and the Assyrians introduced to the world the first and effective postal service.

There are two questions here.

The first, is how many Armenians, Greeks, and Assyrians would there be if the Armenian Genocide, the various Greek Genocides, and the Assyrian genocide did not occur. Of course, all numbers are only guesses, but given that the Armenian Genocide resulted in 1.5 million deaths, the Greek Genocide resulted in 800,000 deaths, and the Assyrian genocide resulted in 300,000 deaths, these are good numbers to start with. Also considering that Greeks and Armenians in the Ottoman Empire had positive population growth rates and their populations have nearly doubled in the last century in areas unaffected by the genocide (such as independent Greece and Russian/Soviet-occupied Armenia), there would be roughly 4.5 million additional Greeks and Armenians. As for Assyrians, it is more questionable as Assyrians did not have consistent positive population growth and did not have any country to protect their ethnic kindred as Greeks and Armenians did. However, it is estimated that the genocide affected half of the living Assyrian population at the time, so the current Assyrian population (1.6 million) should be a rough guess at how many Assyrians have been lost.

The second question is how many of them would still live in Turkey. Especially in the case of the Greeks, it is unlikely that they would have stayed in Turkey after Turkish independence. Armenians and Assyrians would likely have fought for increased autonomy in Turkey and been repressed like the Kurds as a result, but many would likely have stayed, being unable to leave. (Russian Armenia was not open to mass immigration like Greece was.) Admittedly, all of this is conjecture, but is based on the historical reactions after the genocides.

Yes they did have kings and queens!

Iron weapons

They believed in the bible in which their gods were formed.

By training, by calling up levies, by arranging weapons supply and sustenance.

Yes, they made many clay tablets and storys

I don't think so. Its really hard to learn Assyrian Language.

The Assyrians began civilizing through codes and laws. At the height of power, Assyria had military strength. Then, when power began declining, Assyrians maintained civilization, but decentralized. Then, the Persians and Chaldeans invaded and took over. Ashur, the founder of the Assyrian nation, came from Babylon- where the Chaldeans lived and ruled.

economic determinism

They gave us the first code of laws.

Yes, Nineveh was the famous capital of ancient Assyria, located on the Tigris River.

The Assyrians (as in the Imperial Mesopotamian Power) never ventured up to the Caucasus Mountains and would thus have never interacted with the people there. Also, tribal Georgian culture did not really develop until the Roman Period, over 600 years after the fall of the Assyrian Empire. So, there is no possible interaction. If the Assyrian Empire had met up with the Georgians of the Middle Ages or Late Roman Period, they would have likely massacred them, enslaved them, and resettled them as they did every other culture they encountered (like the Arameans, Phoenicians, and Northern Israelites).

Modern Assyrians are a group of pre-Arab indigenous Christians who live in Northern Iraq and Eastern Syria. They are a moderate and friendly group of people who have been the target of numerous pogroms throughout their history. Given their religious similarity to the Georgians (Christianity) and their history of persecution to more powerful authorities that disdain that religion, Modern Assyrians and Modern Georgians get on rather well.
