Assyrian Achievements

The
Assyrians had many achievements. One of them was that their empire rose a couple of times after
being defeated. Their empire covered a good deal of land, especially in the Middle East. They
also had control over Egypt.

The Assyrians were known for their fighting.
They were skilled at using chariots. They also developed iron weapons. This gave them an
advantage over their rivals who used copper or tin weapons.

Another
achievement of the Assyrians was the development of a famous library at Nineveh by King
Ashurbanipal. Many famous historical documents were in this library. Because some of the
documents in this library have been recovered, we know more about ancient history.


The Assyrians were also good at building roads. This allowed them to move their armies
quickly from place to place. They also built impressive cities. These cities were fortified by
walls and had canals, aqueducts, and palaces.

The Assyrians had many
accomplishments.
