亚述：世界历史上第一个帝国的兴衰
(us) Eckart Fram
In 1843, French archaeologist Botha's team excavated several strange and interesting reliefs and stones with inscriptions near a small village northeast of Mosul, Iraq. The veil of a mysterious ancient civilization was unveiled. This ancient civilization was Assyria. From its first appearance in historical records in the 23rd century BC to the fall of the imperial capital Nineveh in 612 BC, Assyria's approximately 2,000-year history is a story of a small city-state on the Tigris River going through several ups and downs, becoming a large empire spanning Asia and Africa, and then suddenly falling.
