13. The Assyrians – Empire of Iron
In the lowlands of Northern Iraq, a series of enormous cities lie crumbling in ruins…
In this episode, find out about one of the most remarkable ancient civilizations: the society known today as the neo-Assyrian Empire. Discover how the Assyrians built their empire out of the ashes of the Bronze Age, and built an empire of iron that lasted for centuries. Explore the extraordinary flourishing of art and technology that they fostered. And finally, discover what happened to cause their final, devastating collapse.

If not for the Assyrians another people would have consolidated power and lost it again and again. The cycle repeats all throughout history. But the brutality of the Assyrians cannot measure against the years of diplomacy and commerce that truly held their vast empire together. Add the written record and pantheon of Gods was their way of coping against all the elements that nature threw their way. The fact that they remain in the modern world as a people that survived on from their ancient heritage is a miracle that cannot be ignored.

It is interesting to note that human brain size decreased by 1/3rd at around the same time as the Bronze Age Collapse. We didn't get dumber–our brains just got more efficient.
This happened all over the planet at about the same time, about 1,500 bce. Weird, eh?
Stephen Milo discusses this very well.

If you're an atheist just say that instead of trying to explain away Biblical truth when it suits you. What a shame!

We may never know what happened to the Assyrians during the siege of Jerusalem.
Dude just read the text saying the Angel of the Lord slayed the 180,000 people.
Case closed.

So I never knew how or if ancient people kept track of the years before BC and AD. Woke up to this video explaining the Assyrians named the years after major events and fortunately they saw eclipses as major. A complete, intact list with an eclipse and the exact year can still be pinpointed.
Going back to sleep wiser now. Thanks.

Woke up to this and can't stop listening this morning. Dude. If only the history I learned in school was half as gripping as this. I don't know if it's the pacing of information or voices or information itself but I'm hooked. I want to know all of the history.
