I love your videos so much. I'm so happy you exist. Your videos are pure gems! Middle east is so fascinating. Hands down the most interesting region on this planet.
Even as we were prepping for what would eventually become Desert Shield,just the mere fact of treading on ground so rich and steeped in historical significance could at times be overwhelming and intoxicating.These were places i had only known from books in school only a few years earlier.
Great video. The idea that Assyria became a military power as a consequence of the conquest of Ashur by Mittani has interesting parallels with how Rome began to expand militarily and conquer other lands after the sack of Rome by the Gauls in 390 BC to protect itself.
Thank you! Yes, there are many parallels between Rome and Assyria! Come to think of it, that might make for a good video topic in future. Thanks for watching and more on the way, stay safe!
The decimation of Sumeria by the evil wind meshes with the catastrophe data and the razing of Sodom, gomorrah, Canaanite cities, the second leveling of Babylon and I think the spaceport they called it on Mt. Sinai....king Og got into the politics in his memoir dictated to Anak called the lost book of king Og.
The warrior-scholar king! Actually, I think he spent more time with his tablets than on the battlefield, but still an interesting guy. Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much for making these amazing videos about Assyrian. As Assyrian it makes us glad to see our history. Can you please do videos about Assyrian entering Egypt and the fall of Nineveh

The tall grass shown with the fighting forces really conveyed realism. The chariots used by the Hittites had three people total, if I remember correctly. Four men must have been pretty crowded, but apparently effective.
Yeah I had read that Assyrian chariots also had only three, but in the reliefs there are clearly four. Perhaps the minimum was three - one driver, archer and shield man. Glad you liked the video and more on the way, stay tuned and thanks for watching!
Shamshi-Adad I reminds me of leaders that were either born in different cities or countries that established themselves and became great in their respective history, Shamshi-Adad submitted to Assyria as the regent of Ashur/Assyria, claimed himself the son of Assyrian lineage, and worked for a greater Assyria, he's just as Assyrian as Shamshi-Adad V.
The ancient Assyrians were really unlucky when it comes to their Geographical location as they were utterly and completely surrounded by enemies. To the north Urartu Scythians Cimmerians and several Anatolian states, To the east Elamites Medes Mannaeans and Persians, To the south the always rebellious Babylonians and the Arabs (qedarites) and the to west the warlike Arameans and the untrustworthy Canaanites (Phoenicians) and even further west the Egyptians. Honestly it's a miracle they survived as long as they did.
I created a realistic-enough map of the ancient Near East and Mediterranean for the original Age of Empires in order to experience the Assyrian Empire in its proper context, and yes... they are in the middle of the Near East, surruonded by dangerous neighbours. Assyrians have the coolest ancient empire, with Egypt almost as cool despite being shinier. I plan to learn Aramaic and Akkadian. I love their women and their beards. Not the beards of their women. You know what I mean.
@ 11:55 I know his name actually means "Sin gave me a brother", but it sounds too much like Arabic's "we will soon destroy". As a result, I often refer to him (for example) as Mr. Betak (so Sennachrib Betak: "We'll soon ruin your house")
Yeah, I guess that was just the way of much of the world back then... conquer or be conquered! Thanks for watching, really appreciate it! More on the way, stay tuned!
@@HistorywithCy they still exist along with their chaldean cousins , they barely survived the 7th century islamic arabian invasion/colonisation of Mesopotamia and the Levant , their population was cut down into a scattered minority due to centuries of repeated persecution and genocides by the muslim conquerors (arabs ,kurds and turks) , after what i.s.i.s did to them recently they are now in need of serious protection more than ever ....
Oh man, that is a typo... I'm so used to typing in "BC" that my muscle memory did that here. The drawing is from 1853 by Sir Austen Henry Layard. They are of the reliefs he found at the palace of Sennacherib which dates to around 700 BC. Thanks for watching and catching that!
@@HistorywithCy Ohhhhh, that's what it was! I was gonna say those are clearly from the neo Assyrian era, I spent the second half of the video all confused about them, lol. And don't beat yourself down too much it's a just simple typo.
Wow Cy i'm impressed with ur knowledge!! One thing i've always wondered about is on a lot of the old statues u find them wearing a round bracelet that almost looks like a watch. Any idea what it is?
Always wanted a detailed look at this mighty military. We know so much about the Persians and Greeks but the Assyrians were the first truly terrifying marshall culture.
Glad you found this interesting... I hope to do one on ancient Persian military soon. There are a lot already on Greek warfare else I'd do that too. Thanks for watching!
No the first world conquerors would be the Sumerians under Lugal Anne-Mundu. And then the Aķkadians(who even had a bigger empire than the Neo-Assyrians).
@@alissa6😂😂😂 wrong, the Akkadians did not have a bigger empire than the Assyrians lol. The Assyrian Empire dwarfed the Akkadian Empire and was the largest in the world until the Persians, Greeks and Romans who came centuries later and built their civilizations with the knowledge derived from THE MIGHTY ASSYRIANS 💯
Yes, there will be one, but probably not for a while... I'm doing a series on ancient Egypt, Dynasty by Dynasty and I'm only on Dynasty V (the vid should be out within the next 24 hours). But rest assured, eventually I'll get there! Thanks for the suggestion, stay tuned and safe!
@@HistorywithCy Great! Also it would be fascinating on your take on the Herodian dynasty which is incredibilily intersecting in itself. Keep up the fantastic work and love for history.
Really enjoying your Assyrian army shows Cy. As always interesting and informative. As to Assyrian chariotry - my (admittedly meagre) research would suggest a more ‘shock’ role for such heavy and well manned vehicles. Whilst Neo Assyrian armies were groundbreaking in their use of cavalry their mounts were unsuited to a heavy cavalry shock role . There must have been a transition period between the two uses of horsed warriors surely? 🤔
@Cy Hey bro this is kind of off topic for this particular video but I just came across a piece of information about a volcano in Iceland in 1783 that was partly to blame for the French revolution??? I'd never heard of that but was curious about it and wondering if you had ever heard anything about it. Anyway awesome video as always, and thanks for sharing your work!
Hi Cy, love your channel! Do you have anything put together of the Accadians, Syrians and other,'s artwork? I'd love to know more about their amazing works of art? Maybe a show describing the artwork and what they we're trying to say?

@@josephchamoun3440 Sumerians entered recorded history before Assyrians, and Sumerians came from east Arabia. So by that measure the land should go to Arabians 🙂.
@@alissa6 no dude, sumarians are mesopotamia People, you need to understand that arabs dont come from Mesopotamia, they come from Saudi Arabia, and they used to be a lot of tribes, they original mesopotamian people are sumarians and akkadians, and the akkadians later split into several groups, called assyrians, chaldeans and arameeans, and assyrians ruled north mesopotamia and chaldeans ruled south. Untill the persians came.

Do you ever get to a point where you feel like there isn’t anymore to learn about something? Like I’m sure there are more details to learn about, but I haven’t seen a video about a civilization I know very little about in a loooong time… not that these aren’t great. I love this kind of video where a specific part of a places history is talked about, but idk… like I want to learn more about the Bronze Age than Egypt, Hittites, Assyrians, Mycenae, and Babylonians, but I guess it’s more that there isn’t as much writing from other places or enough archaeological work done on other places yet… I feel like I know so little, but I can’t find much more than what I’ve found so far. So many places get little mentions every now and again and I would love to learn more about them, but there just doesn’t seem to be much out there right now, or it’s buried in trash alien conspiracy videos.
There are so many parallels betweenRome and Assyrians. Rome started as a little town surrounded by large Etruscan Kingdoms, Magna Graecia and the warrior Samnites, who bullied them constantly. Finally Rome decided they were not going to bullied any more. Sennacherib is believed to have built a magnificent acqueduct and the Hanging Gardens of Nineveh. The Romans began building, independently, acqueducts, stone/concrete bridges and Roman roads.
@@TheObserversTV Naram-Sin's empire stretched from Cyrpus, Turkey and Egypt in the west, Cacasus mountains in the north, central Asia and Sindh in the east, south Arabia in the south. Neo-Assyria didn't go beyond Elam in the east and Urartu in the north.
@@alissa6 "Naram-Sin's empire.. central Asia and Sindh in the east, south Arabia in the south" LOL, Both the Assyrians and Akkadians never reached that far, you're thinking about the Abbasid empire
Where did the name Assyrian come from, and when was the name given to them? Some say that the name came from one of the Mitanni or Hittites gods, because they may be relatives of the Mitanni and the Hittites.
The Assyrians adopted foreign tactics to improve the army The Romans did the same. The Persians failed to do this against the Greeks. Imagine 60,000 heavily armored Persians using Phalanx supplied by a massive Navy.
The Achaemenids got what was coming to them. For about a century they tried the soft war game in Greece, hoping to weaken any individual hegemon. They tried the same with Phillip and his son exacted a brutal revenge. If Darius's satraps had listened to their Greek allies before the Granicus and used scored Earth tactics, Alexander would have been stuck in Asia heavily in debt without a hope in the world to pay or feed his army. He'd have been a footnote in history, but they played right into his hand by giving him a chance to earn glory. When in doubt evacuate your populace and burn everything. No military can survive an offensive operation if their supply lines are stretched too thin, and no polity can supply a foreign invasion without taking resources from their target.
Thank you, and to you as well, Ashurbanipal, "King of the World, King of Assyria, Sword of Ashur... " among many other titles! More on the way, stay tuned and safe!
Yeah, I was thinking about the similarities with the development of other ancient civs and empires too. Looking forward to doing some Roman history this summer. As always, thanks for watching, stay safe!
@@HistorywithCy Hi I'm referring to the horrible tradition of academics who say "15th century " instead of 1400s. When its in BC years "15th century BC" is horrible! Clear and concise language is better.
I think that if your telling history and the subjects still exist we should give the new names because all the names have been changed to protect the guilty.
It's cool to have descendents from these famous people alive today in the form of the Ashkenazi, which literally translates to Assyrian Kennite (Cainite) Princes.....
The Ashkenazi Jews are Jews who settled in Germany and other parts of Europe in the early middle ages. They are Levantine people who were taken by Rome after the destruction of the 2nd temple in Jerusalem.
@@tagbarzeev3571 If the Ashkenazi "Jews" were using their Kolbrin bible at that late date they were still practicing ascension as Followers of Horus. The ascension ceremony is depicted and they admonish to avoid the meddlesome sun-god, no doubt Marduk-Ra the Babylonian usurper, in order to get a good ascension. Parts of the book seem to be compiled from the more Atonist/preening sun-god Marduk approach, while other writings corroborate to stay out of the light and to aim 30 degrees left of the sun and the moon if they are in your way.
a question that i still cant wrap my head around.. HOW can we possibly know what these thousand year old dead languages sound like? i speak dozens of languages myself and this idea bugs me all the time xd
In the south was Chaldeans, but western archeologists are thief’s they say “ it was Sumerians “ to take away royalship from todays Chaldeans. I believe Sumer and Akkad were just geographical location’s not necessarily a group of people. Assyria as well, they do similar techniques with Assyrians.
Chaldeans were in Southern Mesopotamia in the 10th century B.C. They were most likely a fragment of the Western Semites after the fall of Ugaritic city states, alongside with their cousins the Arameans.
good report BUT never ever did the ASSYRIANS lern fighting from the Mitanni 🤭if theyr Great Fathers are the Akkadians and Sumerians... Assyrians are the Worrior Race of Humanity. the so called Nestorians.

@@alissa6 The Neo-Assyrian empire was bigger than the Akkadian empire and Neo-Babylonian empire, it was the largest Mesopotamian-empire in history.
@@TheObserversTV Naram-Sin's empire stretched from Cyrpus, Turkey and Egypt in the west, Cacasus mountains in the north, central Asia and Sindh in the east, south Arabia in the south. Neo-Assyria didn't go beyond Elam in the east and Urartu in the north.
@@alissa6 "Naram-Sin's empire.. central Asia and Sindh in the east, south Arabia in the south" LOL, Both the Assyrians and Akkadians never reached that far, you're thinking about the Abbasid empire
@@TheObserversTV Yeah I tell you what, why don't you study these issues and then come back.
Where did the name Assyrian come from, and when was the name given to them? Some say that the name came from one of the Mitanni or Hittites gods, because they may be relatives of the Mitanni and the Hittites.
Iam from Mesopotamia 🇮🇶🇮🇶🇮🇶❤️
also known as OCCUPIED ASSYRIA 💯
Assyrians still exist .Google them
Hi, thanks for watching. No one is saying they don't... this video is about warfare in ANCIENT Assyria. Thanks.
@@HistorywithCy i'm loving your videos , thank you for your great work sir
@@_hunter_hunter1048 My pleasure, thank you! A lot more on ancient Assyria coming up, it's one of my favorite topics! Thanks again, stay safe!
The Assyrians adopted foreign tactics to improve the army
The Romans did the same.
The Persians failed to do this against the Greeks. Imagine 60,000 heavily armored Persians using Phalanx supplied by a massive
Navy.
The Achaemenids got what was coming to them. For about a century they tried the soft war game in Greece, hoping to weaken any individual hegemon. They tried the same with Phillip and his son exacted a brutal revenge. If Darius's satraps had listened to their Greek allies before the Granicus and used scored Earth tactics, Alexander would have been stuck in Asia heavily in debt without a hope in the world to pay or feed his army. He'd have been a footnote in history, but they played right into his hand by giving him a chance to earn glory. When in doubt evacuate your populace and burn everything. No military can survive an offensive operation if their supply lines are stretched too thin, and no polity can supply a foreign invasion without taking resources from their target.
May The Lord Ashur bless you.
Thank you, and to you as well, Ashurbanipal, "King of the World, King of Assyria, Sword of Ashur... " among many other titles!
More on the way, stay tuned and safe!
It's time for modern men to start decorating their beards.
Rome was once a small tribe too. 😄
Yeah, I was thinking about the similarities with the development of other ancient civs and empires too. Looking forward to doing some Roman history this summer. As always, thanks for watching, stay safe!
Cy. You could just say "1400s BC". Why make language more complicated than it needs to be?
Thanks!
Hi. Not exactly sure what you're referring to, but thanks for watching!
@@HistorywithCy Hi I'm referring to the horrible tradition of academics who say "15th century " instead of 1400s. When its in BC years "15th century BC" is horrible! Clear and concise language is better.
I think that if your telling history and the subjects still exist we should give the new names because all the names have been changed to protect the guilty.
>tfw ywn join the Assyrian army
Im Assyrian

Wow Ashurian or Assyrian people have a great history :) sadly today the people of Ashur are marginalised. Naaggaayaa and peace from Oromo sister :)
It's cool to have descendents from these famous people alive today in the form of the Ashkenazi, which literally translates to Assyrian Kennite (Cainite) Princes.....
There are just normal assyrians left, like me not jews
The Ashkenazi Jews are Jews who settled in Germany and other parts of Europe in the early middle ages. They are Levantine people who were taken by Rome after the destruction of the 2nd temple in Jerusalem.
@@tagbarzeev3571 If the Ashkenazi "Jews" were using their Kolbrin bible at that late date they were still practicing ascension as Followers of Horus. The ascension ceremony is depicted and they admonish to avoid the meddlesome sun-god, no doubt Marduk-Ra the Babylonian usurper, in order to get a good ascension.
Parts of the book seem to be compiled from the more Atonist/preening sun-god Marduk approach, while other writings corroborate to stay out of the light and to aim 30 degrees left of the sun and the moon if they are in your way.
@@DrCorvid The Ashkenazi Jews would have used the Tanakh and oral laws.Tks for your comment.

a question that i still cant wrap my head around.. HOW can we possibly know what these thousand year old dead languages sound like? i speak dozens of languages myself and this idea bugs me all the time xd
In the south was Chaldeans, but western archeologists are thief’s they say “ it was Sumerians “ to take away royalship from todays Chaldeans. I believe Sumer and Akkad were just geographical location’s not necessarily a group of people. Assyria as well, they do similar techniques with Assyrians.
Chaldeans were in Southern Mesopotamia in the 10th century B.C. They were most likely a fragment of the Western Semites after the fall of Ugaritic city states, alongside with their cousins the Arameans.
@@Linduine you know in the Hebrew bible it says one of the grandsons of Noah’s name in Hebrew translates as “ Stronghold of the chaldeans “
Ancient Assyrians are ancestors of Poland
What?
Oh lord... Germans are Aryans ... Polish people are Assyrians ... what's next ... Italians are Babylonians?
Someone said the same about Germany
good report BUT never ever did the ASSYRIANS lern fighting from the Mitanni 🤭if theyr Great Fathers are the Akkadians and Sumerians... Assyrians are the Worrior Race of Humanity. the so called Nestorians.
Wrong location IT'S proven assyrian is here in the Americas the true old world your geography is off.
