Assyrian studies

Assyrian studies is the academic field focused on the ancient Assyrian civilization, which flourished in the Near East from around the 25th century BCE until its fall in the 7th century BCE. Scholars in this field explore Assyrian history, culture, art, language, and archaeology. They analyze historical texts, inscriptions, and artifacts to understand the society's political structures, religious practices, and daily life. This research helps illuminate not only Assyrian contributions to human civilization but also its interactions with neighboring cultures, thereby enriching our understanding of ancient history and its enduring legacy.
