What the frick was their goddamn problem? Why were they so evil?

all of that is made up btw. why would thousands of people willingly live under the rule of such a tyrant king?
also, keep in mind that the people they supposedly treated like this were raider savages.
>it didn't happen but it should have
Why are chuds always like this?
>why would thousands of people willingly live under the rule of such a tyrant king
Why do we willingly live under our present society? Fear of the consequences of rejecting its rule, same as then. That said eventually all this cruelty to conquered peoples was what led to Assyria's downfall (remember Babylon the city they destroyed ended up replacing them as the main empire in the region)
I have no qualms with modern urban living but urban living in Ancient Near East didn't come with the safety nets that it does today. There was no welfare and the most present job opportunities were military service. We live in urban society modern day in spite of questionable government because we're used to it, it has great social security, and we're socially conditioned to strive for consumerist milestones since our birth (buying a nice house, a nice car, etc).
Exactly, there's no example of Near eastern tyranny at all. Steppe disgusting shit to each other like right of first night and indentured rural class. Mesopotamians pioneered property and civil law and treated their society better than any other empire would in the future.
very often military service was a way to obtain a land grant, title of nobility, manumission, or citizenship
>why would thousands of people willingly live under the rule of such a tyrant king?
He's not a tyrant
>why would thousands of people willingly live under the rule of such a tyrant king?
the didn't, that's why the Babylonias allied with the Medians asap when they saw that they are actually a threat to Assyria
Ancient psychology was radically different from ours, I think Nietzsche may have been right that Christianity single handedly ushered in a new consciousness in the human race.
They were evil even for the day and age. Their neighbors teamed up to crush them because they were sick of skull pyramids.
What???? Source??
Worse than the indo-europeans like yamnaya and bell beakers?
Way fricking worse than them you idiotic amerimutt
>I think Nietzsche may have been right that Christianity single handedly ushered in a new consciousness in the human race.
Do you seriously think the Middle Ages were any more humane than antiquity? Shit was completely brutal and human life was almost worthless pre-Enlightenment.
idk man the Mongols were incredibly brutal even by the standards of that time. they laid entire nations to waste. nothing in contemporary Europe or the Middle East approached the level of destruction they caused.
>nothing in contemporary Europe or the Middle East approached the level of destruction they caused.
Ever heard what the Swedes were up to until 1700? At times Mongol tier savagery.
They need to get inspired by their ancestors to do something against the brown invaders.
Tell me more. What were they up to?
>Do you seriously think the Middle Ages were any more humane than antiquity?
Totally. You have no conception of history if you think they were remotely culturally similar.
Explain.
Knights and nobles would ransom one another and keep each other as guests, even with the Muslims at times. Before Islam and Christianity they would have given them the Ashurbanipal treatment- even if they had no prior resentment.
There is no examples of tyranny in ancient Near East. All of the people that were crucified by Babylonians and Assyrians were bantoid squatter thieves that slaughtered the local farmers, moved in, made demands to the king, and tried to ape out and carve out their own country.
>All of the people that were crucified by Babylonians and Assyrians were bantoid squatter thieves that slaughtered the local farmers, moved in, made demands to the king, and tried to ape out and carve out their own country.
So exactly what is happening on the US-Mexico border now until Trump comes back next year and crucifies all of them. Gotcha.
sure, but replace latrinos with white trash
kurds are basically to mena what latrinos are to america
product of conquistador white filth (steppe) and every tribal savage that sapped the land of everything good it had (aztecs)
>boys [and] girl
Evil people like russians would first rape the girls. So no, they were in fact quite merciful.
I think rape can be assumed to have been included at every step of this story. It's just what you do.
I think we can assume you are a massive Mongloid loving homosexual, lying israelite trying to besmerge Assyria good name.
Shut the frick up philosemite.
>skull pyramids
literally projecting all indopoop necro rituals onto near east lmfao
no proof no nada
???
steppe people created skull thrones and skull pyramids
there is no evidence of ancient near east doing any necro rituals with dead enemies
assyrians were honorable enough to dispatch people that raided them. they didn't even keep POWs.
>Neo-Assyrians turn into an aggressive war lusting nation after the BAC
they didn't turn into a war lusting nation, they had to start being proactive with slaughtering steppejeets because the raids destabilized their economy
That's a Scythian thing but notice the Neo-Assyrians turn into an aggressive war lusting nation after the BAC. I think they were invaded and wars broke out among the Mesopotamians and that's what made the whole region so tough between the 9th-6th centuries BC, basically Persian dominance subdued them. Of course that was mostly through force. Xerxes flooded Babylon after two revolts.
>whole known world proceeds to team up against these homies and dabs on them so hard they become irrelevant forever after.
I m assyrian lol
Cope, tree worship
Whoa, a ghost!?
no.
the Assyrians did not suffer genetic overlap, we are still here.
see any shitty PCA.
Furthermore, MENA has not undergone genetic changes.
even the "ancient israelites" that the whitey say are part of, have been the same since the bronze age
We wuz
I m assyrian+ Egyptian...
Cope, steppeBlack person
you have no relation to any of those people, who were actually nordic
Don't make me destroy you, you worm.
I m Egyptian
Egyptians are dead today.
I'm sorry, but it's definitely an Arab+Egyptian+Greek mutt maybe
Stop the we wuzin Egyptianz n sheit dude kemet
"dead" how exactly?
We're still here, you little shit.
We do not suffer from any genetic overlap... and in your theory without genetic basis, from whom do we "suffer" overlap? of the "Arabs"? no. Did not happen.
of black people? 8%.
and to spit in your face;
take a good look at this photo you idiot.
What did you want to prove with that?
wow! you have ancestry (taken from an unreliable dna test) MENA... wow, what a stroke of genius.
nothing to do with the ancient Egyptians.
And now? moronic
You lost.
this DNA testing thing again? the same ones that have so many anachronistic errors to the point of modeling rubbish on people from Germany? or the same as for some delayed reason, it shows that people from France have Iranian ancestry??? that cheap test you use is good. We don't even know the samples they use in advance.
Arab is not a race.
What is an Arab? Bedouins? They did not go out into the world conquering other peoples.
language doesn't mean anything, actually.
Black people are not Americans because they speak English and Gauls are not Latins because they speak Latin.
you look like a brown man from Saudi Arabia, like Aladdin or Jaffar
Again, not an argument.
my DNA tests are clear 🙂
and you didn't answer me;
What is Arabic?
I m literally an Egyptian lol
>Again, not an argument.
>my DNA tests are clear 🙂
Ancient Egyptians cluster with Arabs. You probably look like a pajeetoid Saudi as you lack the key anatolian component
> key anatolian component
yea ur a kurdoroach diaspooop
no that's europe
the way you go back and forth about spain and italy is proof
>yea ur a kurdoroach diaspooop
thanks for revealing you know jack shit about genetics. Anatolian farmer ancestry is highest in europe and what gives light features. Middle eastern populations have varying degrees of anatolian farmer admixture. Can't believe there exists a moron who thinks anatolia from thousands of years ago means turk
>Anatolian farmer ancestry is highest in europe and what gives light features
why do you think this is important for your argument? old israelites describe hittites and assyrians: brown and dark eyed
what is the big conflict you're seeing in an egyptian guy looking like an egyptian? because at this rate you are grasping straws
seething
>Ancient Egyptians cluster with Arabs
>Sample size: 30 cherrypicked Zahi Hawass specimens
Cope, barbarians
it's true moron. Ancient Egyptians were largely natufian so they cluster closely with other natufian rich populations
There are no Natufians. The entire thing is an Israeli supremacist fever dream. They're literally trying to LARP as Atlanteans.
you look like a regular arab
Middle East is the most mutted region in the world. The crossroads of cultures and genetics.
Don't be that, you idiot.
We can model it with other things if you want!
see this and cry with envy
muh the MENA is silenced
You're just a Black person. And a dumb one.
It hurts a lot, doesn't it?
Tell me what your people did in 2000 BC? live in earth huts? do you realize that the Greeks were literally inspired by Egypt? you lost.
and Egypt was so influential, that Greek philosophy comes directly from Egyptian teaching
You have records of Churchill, Roosevelt and Salin playfully joking about atrocities just 80 years ago.
If you can't imagine sending thousands of innocents to their deaths you're not suitable for national power in a competitive international system.
So you're pretty much saying only legit psychopaths are suitable for such positions??
Positions of authority have always been a magnet for psychopaths, there's research to prove that. If your country has a meek and docile political class it will inevitably end up sucking dick of psychopths from the outside.
Assyrians of today
>AIEEE THE ISIS IS KILLING US WE MUST ABANDON OUR HOMELAND AND MASSMIGRATE TO COLOMBIA OR SWEDEN
>Why were they so evil?
Did you not read the part where he says he's defeating them because they're evil?
While "good" is not subjective, morality is, and people's sense of morality adjust to the circumstances of the time. Societies such as the Assyrians were heavily based on honour, familial honour especially and the way in which you honoured your forefathers and current relatives was being as bloodthirsty as possible. This leads to an arms race of brutality, where everyone is trying to one up eachother in brutality to show just how good of a warrior they are and make mom and pop proud. You're acting like this is unheard of, but its really not. The exact same circumstances arose in Imperial Japan, and produced the exact same horrific brutality on a much larger scale. There are many old Japanese men hobbling around today who have a very strong influence on modern Japan, who 80 years ago were skewering babies and burning down villages
Why japs are so homosexual
Act tough against civilians and think that killing innocent is brave while being getting destroyed in a real battle
We should have done this to black people instead of letting them frick white women.
And they disappeared for good. Well, you've got some Arabo-Iranian Aramaic-speakers who claim to be their descendants, but they're also about to disappear.
Kurds don't speak Aramaic. There's Kurdish israelites that speak Aramaic, but they're not Arabo-Iranians like the Kurds are.
Hebrew is literally reconstructed Aramaic from the medieval period.
All the more proof that "Kurdish" israelites aren't Kurd mutts at all.
No shit, nobody is claiming that. Did you know polish israelites are not actually polish or russian israelites are not actually russian?
Assyrian brutality is almost certainly highly exaggerated. Both by themselves and by their enemies, plus later Greek records.
One notable thing with all of these inscriptions is that the slaughter and maiming almost always seems to befall enemy combatants and leaders. Civilians are rarely brought up in such regards, with a few exceptions of rebels.
That’s not even mentioning that everyone else was a murder happy psycho back then, Romans, israelites, Egyptians, Babylonians, celts, germanics, Scythians, and even the supposedly tolerant Persians had a particularly brutal method of execution known as the boats.
>Assyrian brutality is almost certainly highly exaggerated
The stele of Ashurbanipal was recorded by the scribes of Ashurbanipal. There's literal artwork, from themselves, showing them making a father grind the bones of his own son after being defeated in combat. If anything, the western accounts gloss over these facts.
Did you even read a letter past the first sentence?
you're a moron
>Assyrian brutality is almost certainly highly exaggerated. Both by themselves and by their enemies
if you have two accounts that agree with each other especially when one of those accounts are the assyrians themselves you can trust them
>There's literal artwork, from themselves, showing them making a father grind the bones of his own son after being defeated in combat.
NTA, but that's just how you interpret the art.
Where can I read more of this kind of Assyrian pronouncements?
because they are semites
Its called we do a little trolling
>I felled 3,000 of their fighting men with the sword. I carried off prisoners, possessions, oxen, [and] cattle from them
Nothing wrong with this. Just war
>I burnt many captives from them. I captured many troops alive: from some I cut off their arms [and] hands; from others I cut off their noses, ears, [and] extremities. I gouged out the eyes of many troops. I made one pile of the living (and) one of heads. I hung their heads on trees around the city, I burnt their adolescent boys [and] girls
Nothing wrong with this either. You had to be brutal to scare your foe into giving up
>I razed, destroyed, burnt, [and] consumed the city
This still happens today in war, look at Ukraine or Palestine
