Assyria

>>1610422
The most brutal of empires.

>I have made a pillar facing the city gate, and have flayed all the rebel leaders; I have clad the pillar in the flayed skins. I let the leaders of the conquered cities be flayed, and clad the city walls with their skins. The captives I have killed by the sword and flung on the dung heap, the little boys and girls were burnt.

>In strife and conflict I besieged [and] conquered the city. I felled 3,000 of their fighting
men with the sword ... I captured many troops alive: I cut off of some their arms [and]
hands; I cut off of others their noses, ears, [and] extremities. I gouged out the eyes of
many troops. I made one pile of the living [and] one of heads. I hung their heads on trees
around the city.

Sounds like your average Muslim. Perhaps it's really not about Islam, but the character of the "people".

Assyrians had very beautiful architecture that inspired the Persians. Also, a lot of their religious beliefs were taken and utilized in the Kabbalah. Kabbalah has a lot of imagery taken directly from Assyrians.

Practically every peoples have had ancestors that have done horrific things. For example, look up "blood eagle" or "sexual sacrifices"of Vikings, "breast ripper" of medieval Christians, and so forth. He's telling you to go back to /pol/ because you are defining an entire group of people based off generalizations. Also, modern Assyrians are very much oppressed and Christians.

I have always liked the way Nisroch looks (check image). It reminds me of the Chozo from Metroid Prime (check next image).

Does anyone have any book recommendations on the neo-ASsyrians?

The Assyrians invented the concept of the reign of terror, and made such a general nuisance of themselves that their neighbours genocided the fuck out of them at the earliest opportunity. Now they're just worthless cucks surrounded by wild kebab and they think we should care about them. No, fuck you, go ask Assur for his help you race of literal faggots.
