The birthplace of the Assyrian Empire, its capital, country and patron deity. Its current name is Qarat Sharkat, located 270 km northwest of Baghdad. Founded around 2500 BC. It was powerful as a city of patron deities, and was built as a strategic location, protected by the Tigris River and cliffs to the east and north, fortresses to the south and west, and surrounded by a 4 km wall. It flourished most during the reign of Shalmaneser III (reigned 859-824 BC), but was destroyed by the Babylonians in 614 BC and partially restored around 140 BC when the Parthians invaded Mesopotamia. Excavated in 1903-1913 by a German team led by W. Andre, the oldest of the three palace ruins is believed to be that of Shamshi-Adad I (reigned 1813-1781 B.C.), and one third of the 34 temples believed to have existed during the reign of Sennacherib (reigned 705-681 B.C.) were discovered. In 2003, it was registered as a World Heritage Site. Ashur |
