Assyrian inscriptions

Assyrian inscriptions are ancient writings from the Assyrian Empire, which thrived from the 25th century BCE until its fall in the 7th century BCE in what is now northern Iraq. These inscriptions typically appear on stone monuments, walls, cylinders, and tablets, and they often document historical events, royal achievements, military conquests, religious rituals, and administrative records. Written in cuneiform script, these texts provide valuable insights into Assyrian society, culture, and governance, helping historians understand the empire's influence and significance in the ancient Near East.
