RANDOM ENCYCLOPEDIA BRITANNICA POST

BABALONIA-ASSYRIA- the first bit which covered bibical references of B-A had lots of notations by reverend frost. the entry was pgs 182-193+, i basically just read the history, although a bit of the first pages which mentioned mesapotamia and chaldea, but no iraq(k). according to babalonian records, earth WAY older than 6000 as they go back 432,000 years in their records, but EB says more authority of history in the bible. HA HA HA Ha hahahahahahahahah.how quaint.

late 600's BC. or is 680 early when its BC?
Assurbanipal comes to the throne. constant wars asserted assyrian superiority, BUT SAPPED THE EMPIRE OF MONEY AND MEN, ands the luxory, which had come in like a flood(china? re the US) was sapping the foundations of the national strength.(we have teevee and sloth).
he did conquer Elam, but after 652, a general INSURRECTION headed by Assurbinapals brother, viceroy of babylonia. Elam, Arabia,Egypt and palestine united against Assubinapal.
Egypt regained its independence with general Dsammitichus, the others were punished.
but unlike under georgie, Assyrian culture at its height. the best library, buildings, and arts. The study of the dead language Accad was encouraged, the intelligencia came from far and wide to the court.
assurbinapal's charachter tho was cruel and sensual. on his death, it was a signal for general revolt(can you say saddam's overthrow?)
604 came Nebuchadnezzar and his reign of 43 years and Babylon ruled the world.
after his passing, Babylon soon threatened by Cyrus of Persia.
whew. so much typing.
as said at Corrente, my brain is getting full and i am losing unessentials, like math skills. oops, there went Physics class.
