What is the current name of assyria?

Answer 1

Answer 1

Most historians think that the word Assyria only lost the "a" and "s", leaving behind the name "Syria" nowadays. These people keep coming back in history and the damage they are causing nowadays is major.

Answer 2

Assyrians still exist. For centuries after the conquest of Assyria by the Babylonians, the Assyrians remained a subordinate ethnic group to the various powers in Mesopotamia (Babylonians, Achaemenids, Seleucid Greeks, Romans, Parthians, and Sassanians). By the 600s C.E., the Assyrian community was divided between those who remained polytheistic and those who had converted to Christianity. The arrival of the Islamic Caliphate led to the extinction of the polytheistic Assyrians (through conversion to Islam and Arabization) and a similar decrease among Christian Assyrians. However, some of the Christian Assyrians have survived in eastern Syria and northwest Iraq. The remaining descendants of the Assyrians are mixed within the Sunni Muslim Arab populations of Syria and Iraq.
