Redpill me on the assyrians
>>1329155
they are dicks
>>1329155
BTFO Sumer and Egypt then got BTFO by the Persians.
>>1329230
btfo by Babylonians who were btfo by Persians
>>1329155
The were great in the torture department.
Flaying alive, burning, impaling, killing your children before your eyes and then blinding you.
They were like ISIS who had their shit together.
>>1329713
did he died?
>>1329155
Pretty brutal dudes.
Where did they come from? What's their ethnogenesis?
>>1329785
They spoke Akkadian, a semetic language and genetically surviving Assyrians are related to Iraqi and Jordanians.
So imagine this guy with long hair and glam clothes.
>>1329785
assyrians, or people who call themselves assyrians, still exist, but they speak aramaic, which had become the lingua franca of the region during the achaemenid empire.
they are christians, and a lot of them were killed like the Armenians by the Turks, and recently after what happened since the Iraq war of Bush JR.
>>1330012
Aren't we just the most beautiful [white] Christians in all of the middle East?
>>1330038
Why are ME Christians so white?
>>1330080
they are representative of how the middle east looked a millenium and a half ago, before the arab conquest and the arrival of turks from central asia.
Sargon was an awful vlogger
they wuz silly babies
>>1330038
They're just as brown as Arabs. You'll never be white.
Ashurnarsipal II is the man
>>1329713
hey you ass-holes! knock that shit off!
>>1330420
or perhaps your own cognitive bias?
>>1330425
Sure. Doesn't mean there isn't a different phenotype for ME Christians, rooted in their closer genetic distance to Europeans, which makes them seem more familiar and benevolent compared to full desert Arabs.
>>1330080
Because they now live in temperate regions.
>>1330420
Assyrians don't have Yamnaya roots
>>1330420
Fuck off Achmed
>>1329155
The Assyrians used terror to hold together an ethnically diverse empire, which encompassed the settled peoples of Egypt, Canaan, and all of the Tigris and Euphrates, and large parts of current Iran.
They would torture, behead, flay, and mutilate rebellious peoples, or forcefully migrate them en mass. They depicted these on bas-reliefs in their palaces, as seen in Nineveh.
The Assyrians are among the first recorded civilisations who fought with the nomadic steppe peoples e.g., the Scythians and Cimmerians, who had invaded Southwards through the Caucasus and into the Middle East, bouncing around the region like a pinball. The Assyrians managed to curb them, with some losses (losing a King in one battle), and so they can be well regarded as protectors of the civilized world. This is despite the Assyrians lack of knowledge of horse warfare.
Eventually, Assyria disintegrated after their vassals rebelled. Elam, Media, and Babylonia conspired against them, invaded, and sacked the high-walled capital at Nineveh. This is understood as a reaction to the heavy-handed behavior of Assyria.

Tells me all the shit you know about
Don't be obtuse
>>1330012
that's probably same assyrians who can be found in central asia working as shoemakers (from what i understand it is their traditional profession?)
>>1330012
>if not you then who
Why not yourselves you mooching good for nothings?
>>1330086
>before the arab conquest and the arrival of turks from central asia.
The middle east has for the most part of the 1400 years of Islam's existence been majority non-muslim. Even Iraq into the 1900s was over 25% christian.
>>1330639
Your use of such terminology means you'd probably benefit more from a crash course from /pol/ followed by a enjoyable night out drinking with far -right skinheads in Eastern Europe.
>>1330420
>Could it be their distant Indo-European roots?
>>1330429
>which makes them seem more familiar and benevolent
WHOO BOY!
>>1330038
You'll find the Muslims of the region look the same but they don't make for good photographs.
>>1329718
No, he survived and owns a power washing business outside Sarasota, Florida.
they weren't especially violent, this is just a bible meme
>>1329155
High score for terror tactics.
Tech tree didn't leave much room for diplomacy though.
john hagee said they were germans
>>1329155
Jehovah's Witnesses told me to not like them.
They even made a movie on why.
>>1330822
The first empire-builders in history weren't violent?
>>1330905
not especially
>>1330700
What are you taking about? Central Asia? Nigga we're from Syria, Iraq, Turkey, Iran.
>>1330801
The difference is though that we didn't rape Europeans and Africans in some Islamic slave trade.
>>1329785
They're Semitic.
>>1331065
>>1330791
Yeah so human it's not like your ancestors impaled and flayed people alive
>>1329785
Semites indigenous to Iraq
>>1330012
>Assyrian Christians reciting Jewish theology
What the fuck
>>1329287
They wrecked babylons shit man
>>1330080
Crusader ancestry
>>1330810
This was very funny to me for some reason
>>1329155
Can anyone tell me if the reason they wrecked everyone's shit was because they had iron and everyone else was still transitioning from the bronze age?
Buncha cracker-ass peckerwoods smdh
>>1330080
Islam is just like the Sith religion in the Star Wars universe. It twists not only the mind but the physical appearance as well.
>>1330420
You're just clouded by ideology
>>1331363
I cracked up reading this
>>1329713
very aztecan
>>1330795
are you a psychologist or something?
>>1331351
I thought that the Hittites had iron first.
>>1330420
>It's interesting. They're definitely Middle-Eastern looking, yet something seems more human and warm about them compared to dirty, dead-eyed Arab mudslimes. Could it be their distant Indo-European roots?
>>1330978
>Assyrians didn't rape people or have a slave trade
>>1330420
Why do you feel the need for blatant racism
This isn't /b/ or /pol/
at least try not to be an edge lord
>>1331655
>This isn't /pol/
I don't come on this board often but when I do I ALWAYS see someone sperging about how /pol/ is invading their board just because someone supports or mentions even a little aspect of /pol/ ideology.
I think it would be more wise to not try and call people out for browsing another board and to simply point out their fallacies or false facts.
As for anyone being directly racist, just let them be there is nothing you can do about it this isn't some hug space no racism website.
This is happening in like every thread I encounter its more annoying than the /pol/ itself.
>>1331835
I browse /pol/ too
I don't like Muslims but do you not get tired of the endless stream of hate
I come here when I get tired of that shit and want to learn some shit or discuss something that matters
Not to be on another /pol/
>>1330091
Sargent wasn't an assyrian m8y
>>1331876
Sargon* my bad
>>1331335
And Babylon and the Medians sandwiched them later.
>>1330822
They were quite violent, and it is not just some Bible meme, the Assyrians put it on their monuments and records.
The imagery of the Assyrian Empire heavily influenced the imagery of Nazi Germany. I've ever heard that the Nazi salute was taken from the Assyrian Empire.
>>1330822
They were an extremely violent militaristic warrior culture and were proud of it.
>>1330582
>lack of knowledge of horse warfare
I thought they were well known for their war chariots though? Or was that the extent of their cavalry usage?
>>1333620
War chariots were the basis of heroic warrior cults of personality for the aristocrats of the Assyrian people. The Scythians and the Cimmerians were on a different level of horse based warfare as a culture.
Here's a short documentary about the Assyrians, kinda old but still interesting and informative
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BmXYQOzOROg
>>1333629
Ok, so while the Assyian chariots performed great against less sophisticated enemies like the Jews or Egyptians, they were ineffective when fighting people who were actual horsemen?
>>1333654
The Scythians used lighting strike horse archery tactics. War chariots require shock and awe against infantry to be effective, which fell flat against the highly mobile Scythians.
>>1330420
Jesus this is either really good bait or some serious delusion
>>1330810
>>1333770
It's delusion. I've seen numerous people try to unironically argue that the Assyrians were actually European, and that superior genetics is what allowed them to conquer the "primitive" people of the Middle East.
>>1333789
>mfw people don't even realize that Hitler appropriated the concept of the Aryan race from the Assyrians, who had dark skin, black hair and blue or golden colored eyes, and applied it to the German people in order to inflate their racial pride.
>>1333800
People are so stupid. The nazis came up with that half-assed crackpot "Aryan race" shit and people still go around spouting it like the gospel truth to this day. Thanks Hitler.
