Were they the Germans of the Middle East?

>>3082004
People in 19th century Britain sure thought so. There were ideas of "Anglo-Israelism" and "Assyro-Germanism" and other such crap.

>>3082004
No, Assyrians were able to win wars

>>3082075
Then how come I don't see any assyrians nowadays

>>3082094

They live in Sweden. They have their own town there.

Assyrians were civilized since like 2600 bc, they colonized Anatolia and gave writing to the native Hattians, founding prosperous colonies such a Kanesh, one of the biggest cities in the world at the time where archaeoloigsts recovered over 20,000 written tablets, one of the biggest corpus of tablets, if not the biggest, of the ancient Near East.

meanwhile Germs were uncivilized barbarians who stole Roman accomplishments.

>>3082094
That has nothing to do with anything. The Assyrians slaughtered their way to the largest Empire the world had ever seen at that point. It spanned from Persia to Egypt. They were absolutely terrifying when it came to war.

I'm pretty sure Assyrians lost against the Kushite empire and so never conquered Egypt, which was under the control of the KUSHITE BLACK Pharaoh

>>3082135

Kushites were from Near East

>>3082148
Kush is in Sudan, hardly the Near East

>>3082004
4 horses to move 4 people of which only one can attack seems like a waste of resources.

>>3082152

Kushite people came from Near East

They were like Egyptians not Black

>>3082159
Citation needed, fucktard, modern day Sudanese are pretty black

>>3082154
having a couple hundred of those charging at you would be pretty terrifying, good for breaking infantry formations

The finds there have helped our understanding of trade back then so much. They really had a complex trade and finance system.
