Book excerpt: This book is the first of its kind and takes an in-depth look at one of the oldest nations in the world, while documenting various traditions and rituals tracing Assyrian lineage from cuneiform, the beginning of time and writing, until now. Their rich history has engaged various archaeological groups throughout the world to visit their homelands and conduct various excavations, which has led to incredible ancient discoveries that have been housed in universities and museums for centuries. Their heartland is called the Cradle of Civilization, and their legacy has earned the prestigious name of History of the World. They were one of the first people to convert to Christianity and have been mentioned in the Bible and various books throughout time. This book highlights information on their artifacts, including one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, the Hanging Gardens. We also take an insider look at some topics that have been extensively chronicled and studied, such as religion, the legendary Winged Bulls, the famous Tree of Life, and angels.
