Hi !
That’s my first ever post in here. Hope I won’t make too many mistakes.
Assyria is ancient Persia, so it takes place around Turkey, Irak, Iran,
but during the high times of this civilisation (about 700 Bc) they
colonized actual Liban, Israel & Egypt ! They ruled from Babylone to the
far bottom of High Egypt.
And according to mythology, there was a very powerful Assyrian wizard
king (and half god, I believe) named Gilgamesh.
They were great warriors, and wonderful artist (beautiful collection in
London museum).
