    Sabrina, your grant father, Doctor Wilson Bet Mansour was an Assyrian parliamentarian in the Iranian parliament. He also was an Editor-in-chief for the Assyrian monthly newspaper, "ATOUR". The eminent, Doctor Bet-Mansour, used to mail his prominent newspaper to me while I lived in Lebanon. Your grand father Doctor Wilson Bet-Mansour was an Assyrian nationalist, and for us all, he still remains as an Assyrian legend and he will forever live in our hearts. I hope your voice echoes the four corners of the Earth. Let the World know.

      No, not really. Asoristan meant Soristan in Persian, which means the country of Syrianes/Syriacs, not Assyrians who didn't even exist at the time as a people.

    My mother survived the Simele massacre of 1933 in Iraq, walking at night, hiding at during the day to Russia. She lived there with her uncles for 7 years and went later back home. She helped us leave Assyria, the occupied land by the Bath party and later by ISIS and corrupted government . For years we dreamed about going back , unfortunately the politic didn't allow that. Now my siblings live in Sweden & I live in US . We were not allowed to learn our language at the church being accused having secret meetings after university hours in Baghdad. I can only speak my language & can't read or write it. The forgotten nation like many others out there by the united nation. There is hope where are young people like yourself.

    Assyria, kingdom of northern Mesopotamia that became the centre of one of the great empires of the ancient Middle East. It was located in what is now northern Iraq and southeastern Turkey. A brief treatment of Assyria follows. For full treatment, see Mesopotamia, history of: The Rise of Assyria.
    Assyria was a dependency of Babylonia and later of the Mitanni kingdom during most of the 2nd millennium BCE. It emerged as an independent state in the 14th century BCE, and in the subsequent period it became a major power in Mesopotamia, Armenia, and sometimes in northern Syria. Assyrian power declined after the death of Tukulti-Ninurta I (c. 1208 BCE). It was restored briefly in the 11th century BCE by Tiglath-pileser I, but during the following period both Assyria and its rivals were preoccupied with the incursions of the seminomadic Aramaeans. The Assyrian kings began a new period of expansion in the 9th century BCE, and from the mid-8th to the late 7th century BCE, a series of strong Assyrian kings-among them Tiglath-pileser III, Sargon II, Sennacherib, and Esarhaddon-united most of the Middle East, from Egypt to the Persian Gulf, under Assyrian rule. The last great Assyrian ruler was Ashurbanipal, but his last years and the period following his death, in 627 BCE, are obscure. The state was finally destroyed by a Chaldean-Median coalition in 612-609 BCE. Famous for their cruelty and fighting prowess, the Assyrians were also monumental builders, as shown by archaeological sites at Nineveh, Ashur, and Nimrūd.

    Semiramis was a historical Assyrian queen of Babylonian birth, who lived and reigned around 800 B.C.E. By the 18th century the legends associated with her life had eclipsed her actual accomplishments as queen, notably due to the popularity of Voltaire's eponymous play, written in 1748. His version of her life centered on palace intrigue, notably the beautiful queen's affair with Assur, and her plot to have him poison her husband, the king. As he dies, the king implores a trusted friend to take his son, Ninias, away from the palace to save his life.
    Although Semiramis ruled Babylon well for fifteen years, during that time she was stricken with guilt over the murder of her husband and the loss of her son. Her lover Assur, however, plots Semiramis' death after she refuses to marry him and install him as king. To foil his plans, she arranges to marry a young warrior, who is in fact her son, whom she mistakenly believes to be dead. Ninias is warned away from this incestuous marriage by his father's ghost, who then demands that his son avenge his murder. Led by the ghost, Ninias stabs and kills a form he believes is Assur, but is, in fact, Semiramis.

    A wonderful speech. I wish you success after our generation was unable to achieve anything significant other than engaging in narrow church disputes. “It does not matter if it was planned from the outside. What is important is that the results that others aspired to have been achieved, and what is worse is that we are still transmitting those results with us to modern generations.” And the new countries in which we are resettling.” The most important obstacle facing the new generations of our people is that we do not even have a local political region / province of our own, neither in our historical land, nor even in the countries of our foreignness, which deepens the national cultural gap between our people.. Because this will necessarily provide a number of governmental institutions in which our language can be modernized and placed within its contemporary evolutionary framework, which will inevitably lead to the emergence of generations that use our language officially...
    But the problem with this is that the only person who thought and sought in this direction was the saint and martyr Mar Ishai Shimon. However, for purely political reasons, none of our political parties, groups, or even intellectuals adopted this idea after the assassination of Mar Ishai Shimon. Rather, all of our organizations and parties are still revolving in the same vicious circle in seeking only to obtain positions within the governments on whose territories they exist, which means that they are all... work not for our national cause, but for their narrow, selfish personal interests, exerting all their efforts to please those governments and not to push for us to obtain complete or even partial sovereignty..

    WHAO, a correction is warranted here. There are five (5) million Assyrians total ? The Chaldean population in Iraq and abroad are estimated to be 400k at a minimum (worldwide) and a maximum of 650k but not likely, most agree it’s 500 - 550k worldwide. The Chaldean to Assyrian ratio is Chaldeans are 8 or 9 : 1 Assyrian, so the 5M number needs to be updated.

    Well presented. Sad of the process of persecution suffered Read about the true great Assyrian Empire and ironical that so few left in the modern world.

    All the while I thought Assyrians were an extinct group of people. Once a very powerful nation as told in the Bible.

    The vast majority of the Arab world has nothing to do with Assyrians, they are the descendants of the ancient Babylonians and ancient Assyrians and kept their culture and identity completely distinct this entire time.

    Many people think the descendants of Ancient Babylonia have become Arab, when actually they still exist separately from them.

    Sargon II, followed by Sennacherib, who was the founders of what would become the Neo-Assyrian Empire, certainly considered themselves to be descended from the great Akkadian Empire, naming himself after Sargon of Akkad who ruled over a thousand years earlier. His empire is thought to have included most of Mesopotamia, parts of the Levant, and incursions into Hurrian and Elamite territory, ruling from his (archaeologically as yet unidentified) capital, Akkad.
    Sargon appears as a legendary figure in Neo-Assyrian literature of the 8th to 7th centuries BC. Tablets with fragments of a Sargon Birth Legend were found in the Library of Ashurbanipal.

    The vast majority of Biblical scholars disagree "the original Bible was written in Aramaic". The Old Testament was written in Hebew and the New Testament was written almost entirely in Greek. This is the scholarly consensus.

    Modern Assyrians carry R1b, which is an Indo European. Ancient Assyrians were J1-p58.
