Located in the Mesopotamian region, the Assyrians are one of the many civilizations that appear between the Tigris and Euphrates. The formation of this empire was thanks to the broad development of a culture clearly focused on the war. Looting, destruction and massacres were common tactics that ensured the supremacy of the Assyrian against the other warrior peoples of the region.
Besides the cruelty, the Assyrian army was composed of an advanced military technology that put them at an advantage over other people. The use of horses guarantees the rapid abatement of multiple enemies on the battlefield. At the same time, the infantry was composed of a broad hierarchy of warriors who had functions that made the Assyrian military force very quickly.
The violent tone of Assyrian domination was able to cause the subordination of various populations found along the Mesopotamian region. However, this culture based on fear and oppression was not sufficient conditions to support the various rebellions that took place against this people. Not coincidentally, in 612 BC, the Chaldeans and Medes were able to defeat the forces of the Assyrian empire.
Under these new conditions, there was the consolidation of so-called Second Babylonian Empire, extending from 612 to 539 BC. The culmination of this new empire unfolds in Nebuchadnezzar's government, recognized by its many public works such as the Tower of Babel and the sumptuous Hanging Gardens of Babylon, one of the most popular constructions of the ancient world.
