Assyrian texts

Assyrian texts are writings from the ancient Assyrian civilization, which thrived in Mesopotamia around 2000-600 BCE. They include inscriptions, official records, religious texts, literature, and administrative documents, often written in cuneiform script on clay tablets. These texts reveal insights into Assyrian politics, culture, religion, and daily life, showing their achievements in warfare, architecture, and governance. Studying them helps us understand their society and the broader history of the ancient Near East, providing valuable perspectives on civilization development and human history.
