Assyrian records
Assyrian records refer to historical documents and inscriptions created by the ancient Assyrian civilization, which thrived in the Near East from the 25th century BCE to the 7th century BCE. These records include administrative texts, royal inscriptions, and annals detailing military campaigns, trade, and daily life. Written mainly in cuneiform on clay tablets, they provide valuable insights into Assyrian culture, society, and governance. Notably, they highlight the power of Assyrian kings, territorial expansion, and interactions with neighboring cultures, contributing significantly to our understanding of ancient history in that region.
