Description:From The Earliest Times To The Fall Of Nineveh is a historical book written by George Smith and published in 1890. The book is a comprehensive account of the rise and fall of the Assyrian Empire, from its earliest beginnings to its eventual collapse. It covers a wide range of topics, including the political, social, and cultural aspects of Assyrian society, as well as its military conquests and interactions with neighboring civilizations. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a specific period of Assyrian history. The author draws on a variety of sources, including ancient texts, inscriptions, and archaeological discoveries, to provide a detailed and engaging account of the Assyrian Empire. Overall, From The Earliest Times To The Fall Of Nineveh is an informative and insightful book that is essential reading for anyone interested in ancient history and the rise and fall of empires.Excerpt:The Following history of Assyria is designed to give some of the results attained from the translations of the Cuneiform in scriptions, which contain the records of the Assyrian empire. Prominence has been given to the incidents of the period when Assyria came in contact with Palestine, and the bearing of some of these is pointed out; but it is rather intended that the reader should compare for himself the history here given from the Assy rian with the parallel account of the Books of Kings. Beside the direct account of persons and events given in the Bible, there is a mass of evidence and illustration on manners and customs, lan guage and literature, tending to throw light on the earlier books of the Bible, which renders the study of Assyrian so important and desirable.An examination of the dates in this history will show that many of them do not agree with the authorized system of chronology in the margins of the Bible. Here I must note that, although there is a striking agreement in the order and substance of the events mentioned in both histories, there sometimes appears to be cousi derable difference as to the dates. As this is an Assyrian history, I have taken the dates as they appear to stand in the Assyrian re cords; but it must be remembered that many of the Assyrian chro nological documents are mutilated and incomplete, and that the Assyrians are not always correct in the statements of their histories.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
