Assyrian Chronicles

The Assyrian Chronicles are ancient historical texts that record the history, wars, rulers, and significant events of the ancient Assyrian Empire, which thrived in Mesopotamia around 900 to 600 BCE. These chronicles, written in cuneiform on clay tablets, provide detailed accounts of military campaigns, diplomatic affairs, and royal achievements. They serve as important primary sources for understanding Assyrian civilization, its political structure, and cultural practices, helping historians piece together the history of one of the ancient Near East's most powerful empires.
