Indo-European influence. Notice how old Assyrians were never described as very cruel. This only started with the Iron Age (after the Bronze Age collapse caused by European tribes). Modern Assyrians are dominated by a foreign steppe R1b-Z2103 haplogroup.
So _that's_ the connection between Assyria and the Germanic tribes... >Athur, old name of Thor >Asshur, patriarch of the Assyrians >Assyrians sometimes depicted as blonde >Both Assyrians and Germans known as "Warmen" (where the name "German" comes from in the first place) >They say Germans aren't descended from Assyrians
Why were they so brutal even for the standards of their time?
They are the winners, so they wrote history. What they did record lasted millennia. The exception wouldn’t be their brutality but that their written records actually lasted.
>yeah nah
So explain why Assyrians changed so much between Bronze and Iron Age. What happened that a nation of traders turned into violent psychopaths?

I never said they were of different race. I said they got influenced by them. Maybe they started using some of these R1b guys as soldiers or mercenaries.

Ass Syrians have weapons that Indoeuroweenie steppeBlack folk didn't use nor even know how to make. Like siege weapons for instance. Not to mention they primarily fought in combined arms forces with a solid core of armored heavy infantry as opposed to feministic steppeBlack person skirmishing.
Even their fricking bows are different from the usual Indo-Eurohomosexual compound bows.

Who cares indoeuropeans were swarthy as frick and the fact they raped the great great great great......great grandma of whites makes it funnier. You know, aside of swarthy souther europeans, northern europeans have been an irrelevant force at military history, not a single general of international renown born ever there.

So according to you morons, whites never won any cultural exchange... But somehow everyone kept picking their genes? Are whites the most trafficked race in history then?

Why is a slightly tan ancestor of Europeans a "non-white" (there's no reason to think these people were ever greater than olive complexioned)? Also love how you guys always make it point to post the most ethnic looking reconstructions and ignore all the others.

Literal moron tier take. You're obvious some insecure brown or black dude. Black person never heard of Frederick the Great. It's almost like the last 500 or so years of history never happened to you people. Anything after classical antiquity, which you don't even really understand, is irrelevant and doesn't count for some reason. Yes, there are obviously no great German, British, or French generals. This is totally a view that anyone who knows anything about military history would take seriously. Cope more, homosexual.

It doesn't matter, but is there even any basis for the claim that the Yamnaya were "swarthy"? Why would a cold adapted people from the Eurasian steppe be swarthy?

imagine being so triggered by light skin that you have to build an entire mythology around it.
The Assyrians publicized atrocities in the hope that their subjects would be frightened into compliance by the thought of similar horrors being visited on them.
basically this. it's just propaganda. when cities got sacked back in these days this is what happened. The cities were looted, soldiers take slaves, civilians caught outside their homes were tortured/killed as collective punishment. The only real exceptional part of Assyrian conquest back in these days was the deportation of civilians once they knew the local dynasty could no longer be trusted to give tribute.
Their civilization bore the brunt of the bronze age collapse yet survived and came out of it with a highly militarized system that did not place much stock on diplomacy and alliances except with distant nonthreatening Kingdoms. Their goal seemed to be to achieve strategic depth around their homeland in Mesopotamia to prevent a repeat of historical traumas and they set about this aggressively with a sense of restoring a rightful empire.
spanish conquest was like hell on Earth for the natives, I like reading about the 16 century and the monarchy had to protect the indians because they were being killed working in the mines and plantations too fast.
This is just an example of the abuse, the encomendero in this image burned alive the natives because they did not gather enough gold.
Hell on earth for natives and yet still exist as the majority in their lands and were the main supporters of spanish forces during independence wars, if you wanna search a genocidal vile force against natives of other lands look at frenchs, belgians, dutchs and british.
Lack of a good moral framework. It's what happens when your gods are even more absurd than humans themselves and don't care about their supposed creation.

This actually makes no sense and I'm not going to explain why either. Learn who the Hurrians are
So _that's_ the connection between Assyria and the Germanic tribes...

North Africans also trace back to the city of "Germa", they're Germans.
don't forget how Nigerians are descended from the ancient Japanese colony of Edo.

It's a perfectly reasonable answer.

That quote is taken out of context.

They're not the majority in all countries
They broke the region to the yoke of empire, later empires didn't need to be so brutal because the Assyrians already did that for them.
The Hittites were charging them 40:1 for their primitive smelted iron in exchange for gold. Kek.
Where does this meme come from? Can I get some quotes or, even better, a quick rundown?

propaganda, both from Assyrians themselves and their enemies. You won't see any ethnic group as cruel as G*rmans
