The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Assyria is called the first true military superpower in human history, and pioneered major inventions and advances in the first libraries and large-scale preservation and accumulation of knowledge, as well as in statecraft, centralised government, bureaucracy, warfare, military organisation, propaganda, art, and architecture.
- Assyrian imperial history spans the early Bronze Age to the late Iron Age, from its beginning as small Akkadian settlements in northern Mesopotamia to its zenith and collapse as the largest empire at the time, and is typically divided into the Early Assyrian, Old Assyrian, Middle Assyrian, Neo-Assyrian, and post-imperial (609 BCE–c.
- 240 CE) periods.
