Assyrian historical documents

Assyrian historical documents are ancient records from the Assyrian civilization (roughly 900-600 BCE), primarily inscribed on clay tablets and carved into stone. They include royal inscriptions, administrative texts, military reports, and literary works, providing insights into their kings, wars, religion, and daily life. These documents help us understand the Assyrian Empire's power, culture, and history, revealing their achievements and challenges. Modern decipherment, especially using cuneiform script, has made it possible to reconstruct their history and appreciate their contributions to writing, governance, and art.
