Neo-Assyrian

The Neo-Assyrian Empire (circa 911–609 BCE) was an ancient Mesopotamian civilization known for its powerful military, advanced administration, and expansive territory across the Middle East. It built impressive cities, developed innovative siege tactics, and created a complex bureaucracy to control conquered regions. The empire is notable for its architectural achievements, art, and the use of exile and deportation policies to manage diverse populations. Neo-Assyria played a significant role in shaping Near Eastern history, eventually falling due to internal strife and external pressures, but leaving a lasting impact on the region's culture and governance.
