Assyrian documents

Assyrian documents refer to the written records from ancient Assyria, a powerful civilization in the Near East around 900 to 600 BCE. These documents include inscriptions, laws, letters, and royal decrees, primarily written in cuneiform script on clay tablets. They provide valuable insights into Assyrian culture, government, military campaigns, religion, and daily life. Scholars study these texts to understand the political dynamics and societal values of the time, making them crucial for historians and archaeologists studying the ancient world and the development of writing and administration.
