What did the Romans invent to build the Assyrian buildings?
At the time of the Assyrian Empire, Rome was an insignificant city in Italy which had no influence whatsoever in the east. Rome was learning from its mentor the Etruscans.
The Assyrians would design their architectural buildings with not only size and strength but also beautiful art. Some of their buildings still stand and are affected by all the wars in the middle east and mainly the wars in Iraq. The museums have also been looted, some thousand of years old artifacts are still being sold on the black market. Priceless artifacts that are some of the oldest in the world have been stolen. I feel bad for the Assyrians!

The Meaning of the Assyrian Flag:
The Assyrian flag consists of a golden circle at the center which represents the sun. By its exploding and leaping flames it generates heat and light to sustain the earth and all it's living things.
The four pointed star surrounding the sun symbolizes the land, its light blue color means tranquility.
The wavy stripes extending from the center to the four corners of the flag are the three major rivers of our homeland, namely Tigris, Euphrates and Zawa.

The red stripes represent Tigris, it's blood red hue stands for courage, glory and pride.
The white lines in between the two great rivers is Zawa, it's white color stands tranquility and peace.

What characteristic best describes the Assyrians?
The Assyrians were a mixture of people driven south out of the steppes of Russia by a coming ice age. Mixing with indigenous population, they more or less conquered the Syrians of the time and incorporated them into their culture. Among those they encountered were the remnants of the Cimmerians and these have always been a proud people. Perhaps it was the remaining Cimmerians who became the Assyrians by absorbing all those fleeing south. Enough manpower leads to large armies and, in an effort to prolong their race, they took on a militaristic hue. Remember, all wars are wars of attrition. Therefore, the Assyrians are attributed the role of conquerors. But with new manpower arriving daily, they flexed their muscles to see how far they could go. This would have been sometime after the flood.
