The Rise and Fall of Assyria

The fall of the Assyrian Empire in the late 7th century BC marked a major turning point in Mesopotamian history. In 612 BC, the Babylonians, Medes, and Scythians conquered Nineveh, leading to Assyria's collapse. This paved the way for the Neo-Babylonian Empire under Nebuchadnezzar II. Significant advancements in architecture, science, and culture followed, reshaping the region's political landscape and highlighting the impermanence of even the mightiest empires. #shorts
