||||||
| Assyria flourished in the region the ancient Greeks called Mesopotamia. An Assyrian king established what was probably the first centrally organized empire in the Middle East, between 1813 and 1780 bc. In defending their territory from nomadic invasions, Assyrians gained a reputation in the ancient Middle East for being relentless and ruthless warriors. | ||||||
