The book by historian and linguist Mikhail Mochalov tells the story of how a tiny polis Ashur emerged on the site of a settlement of pastoralists, how it became an important trading center of the Ancient East, how it transformed into the state of Assyria, which acquired territories, absorbed peoples, built roads that centuries later served as a model for the Romans, and eventually became the most powerful state - the first empire in the history of mankind. This millennia-long journey was full of events - rapid rises and heavy defeats. But every time Assyria rose again like a phoenix from the ashes. This was facilitated by its convenient geographical location, sophisticated foreign policy, advanced army equipped with the most modern weaponry, and not least - a whole array of talented rulers... Mikhail Mochalov's book systematically presents the two-thousand-year history of Ancient Assyria - up to its very demise, when the empire fell under the blows of the Babylonians and disappeared from the world stage forever.
