Does the Assyrian military exist today?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, they still exist and live in large communities across Northern Iraq, southeastern Turkey, eastern Syria and Israel. They have a population of over 4 million and speak their own unique language called Aramaic, which is very similar to Hebrew.

They are the Indigenous Christian people of the countries listed above (besides Israel) and are pushing for an independent Assyrian state, with Nineveh as the capital. Many have also migrated to Europe, US and Australia in recent years after the constant attacks on the Christian minorities living in the Middle East.

Yes, but not the way you think. The Assyrian culture has vanished more or less. The people today who call themselves Assyrians are a Christian group in Northern Iraq and Southern Syria who are honest and gentle individuals. They are no longer bloodthirsty, ethnic cleansers like the Assyrians of 600 BCE and are, in fact, a repressed minority in the countries they inhabit.

How did the Assyrians treat people with different beliefs?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Historically, the Ancient Kingdom of Assyria worked quite vigorously to destroy the religious beliefs of the people that they had conquered since religion, oftentimes, was connected to the regional sense of identity. The idea that gods were universal and not specifically located in one place did not exist at that time. As a result, Assyrians moved people from one area to another area in order to "displace people from their gods" and cause people to lose their religion. It was generally successful.

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.

How were the Assyrians similar to the babylonians?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No.. The Babylonians are a different civlization than the Assyrians! Look in a History Book and learn all about them it's very interesting if you ask me! They are 50/50 the same because they are both a civilization but then again there not ... :)Assyrian and Babylonian are the same people 100% we speak the same language and we have the same Coulter. Babylon was one stat we are all Civilization of Mesopotamia we are same people but in deferent stat. i thought we weren't the same people but if you read the history in Assyrian times when someone is strong he will be the king so who kill the king his the king. i study history in Australia and my teacher said you are the same I'm Assyrian. you going to ask me now why Babylon destroyed Assyria is it because who's the strong he will control the whole empire. if you think that Assyrians are not than why Hammurabi builded the first library in Nineveh in Assyria. and why Assyrian queen Semiramis controlled Babylon she was Babylon queen. if you want the answer dude you will find 100% of stores and you don't know which one you believe but the history is telling us that they are the same people and we still speak the same language. thanks
