The narrative of the origin of the Dorian institutions, which are said to have been due to a fear of the growing power of the Assyrians, is a plausible invention, which may be compared with the tale of the island of Atlantis and the poem of Solon, but is not accredited by similar arts of deception.
The other statement that the Dorians were Achaean exiles assembled by Dorieus, and the assertion that Troy was included in the Assyrian Empire, have some foundation (compare for the latter point, Diod.
For the capture of Troy by the Achaeans had given great offence to the Assyrians, of whose empire it then formed part, and they were likely to retaliate.
Because there was a Persian empire which was the natural enemy of the Greek, there must also have been an Assyrian empire, which had a similar hostility; and not only the fable of the island of Atlantis, but the Trojan war, in Plato's mind derived some features from the Persian struggle.
The Assyrians appear on well over a hundred pages of this site, but nearly always as a side note.
Genesis has Nimrod build the first Assyrian cities.
The most discussed Assyrian symbol is a stylized tree.
On Mariana Giovino, The Assyrian Sacred Tree I go through her 2007 study, and the book itself is at The Assyrian Sacred Tree.
Unfortunately no Assyrian text discovered to date discusses the nature or purpose of this treelike thing.
A second interpretation, first proposed in 1888 and much the most popular of the three, maintains that the Assyrian 'tree' is a symbol of a real tree.
In Assyria the symbol of the winged serpent was replaced by that of the winged circle, emblem of Asshur, the supreme deity of the Assyrians; and this symbol is seldom found in the sculptures except in immediate connection with the monarch.
Ignatius Donnelly adds the Assyrian Du-Zu to his list of dying and rising gods on Ragnarok: The Age of Fire and Gravel.
In Selestor's Men of Atlantis the Assyrians descend from a woman who escaped the sinking island:

Jonah had no personal enemies named in the texts, but his mission itself put him in direct conflict with the people of Nineveh, the capital of the Assyrian Empire.
The Assyrians were the bitter national enemies of Israel.
My blood is seeded not only with this auspicious lineage, but also with that of the pharaohs of Egypt, Queen Sheba of Ethiopia and the Assyrian royalty.
Her birth took place about 358 years after the reign of David the King and some 110 years after the Kingdom of Israel had been conquered and carried away into captivity by the Assyrians.

Baal inspires Canaanite/Israelite conflicts, opposes Faithist prophets like Elijah (~900 BCE), and influences Assyrian/Babylonian events.
Baal sends warring angels to incite Assyrian (~800 BCE) and Babylonian (~600 BCE) invasions, weakening Israelite Faithists through captivities and divisions (Book of Eskra, Chapter XX).
the men ordained to lead the people in the way of right.20. And I am come to help, and not to hinder in their work.21. There are two classes of the sons of men; they who would build the human race upon the sure foundation stones of justice, truth, equality and right,22. And they who would destroy the holy temple where the Spirit dwells and bring their fellows down to beggary and crime.23. The holy brotherhood of right must stand united in the stirring conflicts of the hour.24. No matter whether they be Jews, Samaritans, Assyrians, or Greeks, they must tramp down beneath their feet all strife, all discord, jealousy and hate, and demonstrate the brotherhood of man.25. Then to the ruler of the synagogue he spoke: he said, United in the cause of right we stand; divided we will fall.26. And then he took the ruler by the hand; a love light filled their souls; and all the people were amazed.
1. The Christines prayed in silence seven days; then Jesus called the twelve aside and said,2. Behold, the multitudes have thronged about us everywhere; the people are bewildered; they wander here and there like sheep without a fold.3. They need a shepherd's care; they want a loving hand to lead them to the light.4. The grain is ripe; the harvest is abundant, but the harvesters are few.5. The time is also ripe, and you must go alone through all the villages and towns of Galilee and teach and heal.6. And then he breathed upon the twelve and said, Receive the Holy Breath.7. And then he gave them each the Word of power, and said, By this Omnific Word you shall cast spirits out, shall heal the sick and bring the dead to life again.8. And you shall go not in the way of the Assyrians, nor Greek; you shall not go into Samaria; go only to your brethren of the scattered tribes.9. And as you go proclaim, The kingdom of Christ has come.10. You have abundantly received, and freely you shall give.11. But you must go in faith; provide yourselves no crutch to lean upon.12. Give all your gold and silver to the poor; take not two coats, nor extra shoes; just take your wands.13. You are God's husbandmen and he will never suffer you to want.14. In every place you go search out the men of faith; with them abide until you go from hence.15. You go for me; you act for me.
1. The harvest feast drew near; the twelve went to Jerusalem, but Jesus did not go with them; he tarried in Capernaum.2. Among the multitudes that followed him were many who went not up to the feast; they were not Jews.3. And Jesus called three-score-and -ten of these disciples unto him and said, The kingdom of the Christ is not for Jews alone; it is for every man.4. Lo, I have chosen twelve to preach the gospel, first unto the Jews; and they are Jews.5. Twelve is the number of the Jew and seven the number of the all, including every man.6. God is the ten, the holy Jod.7. When God and man are multiplied we have three-score-and-ten, the number of the brotherhood of man.8. And now I send you forth by twos and twos; not to the Jews alone, but unto every nation under heaven; to Greek and to Assyrian; to the Samaritan; to those beyond the seas; to every man.9. You need not go afar, for men of every land are here and in Samaria.10. Arise and go your way; but go in faith; and take no gold nor silver in your purse; no extra coat or shoes.11. Go in the sacred name; trust God and you will never come to want.12. And let this be your salutation everywhere, Peace be to all; good will to all.13. And if the son of peace be in the house, the door will open wide and you will enter in; and then the holy peace will rest upon that house.14. The seventy in twos went forth; they went into Samaria, and as they went they said, Peace be to all; good will to all!15. Repent and turn from sin, and set your house in order, for a son of man who bears the image of the Christ, will come, and you may see his face.16. They entered every village of Samaria; they preached in Tyre and in Sidon by the sea.
Interestingly, the Bible is used in this study as a historical source alongside Egyptian, Assyrian, Phoenician, and Sardinian inscriptions.
The Biblical accounts actually deal with only one of these areas: the Hebraic-Greco Assyrian zone.(See Genesis 3) However, they would apply, with only minor modifications, to all areas and groups.
It occurs in around 3% of Assyrians, with higher levels in Erzurum, Turkey.
It was also found in a man from Galilee in Israel who lived between 1014 and 836 BC (X2b), as well as in ancient Assyrian remains and Egyptian mummies from the late New Kingdom to Roman times.
He rules hadan heavens in Arabin'ya (Middle East) and Heleste (Greece), inspires violent worship in Canaan and Greece (as Baal or Zeus), incites wars and captivities against Faithists, opposes prophets like Elijah, and manipulates events like Assyrian and Babylonian invasions.
Baal and Ashtaroth inspire the Assyrian (722 BCE) and Babylonian (587 BCE) captivities of the Israelites, weakening Faithist communities (Book of Wars Against Jehovih, Chapter LII).

It was found at Nineveh, in modern Iraq, in the library of the Assyrian royal palace, and is said to have been recovered in the 19th century by Sir Austen Henry Layard.
The round tablet is Assyrian and was inscribed around 700 BC.
She escaped Bahanan's palace and became an Assyrian ancestress.
Psammêtichus: Refers to Psamtik I, a ruler of the 26th Dynasty known for reuniting Egypt after the Assyrian invasions.
Research into ancient Hebrew scriptures and Sumerian, Babylonian, Akkadian, and Assyrian texts reveals narratives of beings arriving on Earth from elsewhere.
Hea, also known as Ea, is a central figure in Mesopotamian mythology and is prominently featured in the Nineveh tablets, part of the vast library of cuneiform texts discovered at the site of the ancient Assyrian capital, Nineveh.
Nebo, also known as Nabu, was a prominent god in the Babylonian and Assyrian pantheons, honoured as the patron of literacy, scribes, wisdom and the rational arts.
Cultural Origins: The Anunnaki feature prominently in Sumerian, Akkadian, Assyrian, and Babylonian myths.
He has also trained pastors in text interpretation, emphasizing that the biblical narratives are not about deities but rather about powerful beings, including the "sky people." He drew connections between the Bible's stories and ancient Sumerian, Babylonian, Assyrian, and Akkadian narratives, suggesting that some figures, such as the Anunnaki and Elohim, could be described as extraterrestrial beings (ETs) in modern terms.
The Maya is not devoid of words from the Assyrian."
A short time back I discovered among the Assyrian tablets in the British Museum, an account of the flood; which, under the advice of our President, I now bring before the Society.
For convenience of working, I had divided the collection of Assyrian tablets in the British Museum into sections, according to the subject matter of the inscriptions.
The three Assyrian copies present a number of variant readings, which had crept into the text since the original documents were written.
The forms of the characters in the original documents were of an ancient type, and the Assyrian copyist did not always know their modern representatives, so he has left some of them in their original hieratic form.
There are a number of sentences which were originally glosses explanatory of the subjects; before the Assyrian copies were made these glosses had been already incorporated in the text and their original use lost.
It must here be noted that the Assyrian scribe has recorded for us the divisions of the lines on the original documents.
The question might here be asked, "How is it that we find an early Chaldean document from Erech transported to Nineveh, copied, and placed in the royal library there?" On this point we can show that it was a common custom for the Assyrians to obtain and copy Babylonian works, and a considerable portion of Assyrian literature consists of these copies of older standard writings.
Assurbanipal, the Assyrian monarch in whose reign the Deluge Tablets were copied, had intimate relations with the city of Erech.
He made an expedition to this region, and starting from an Assyrian city, near Arbela, crossed the Lower Zab, and marching eastward between latitudes 35 and 36, arrived at the mountains of Nizir.
This country the cradle of civilization, the birthplace of the arts and sciences, for 2,000 years has been in ruins; its literature, containing the most precious records of antiquity, is scarcely known to us, except from the texts the Assyrians copied, but beneath its mounds and ruined cities, now awaiting exploration, lay, together with older copies of this Deluge text, other legends and histories of the earliest civilization in the world.
