In those days you levied tribute on people you conquered..nothing more than taxes by today`s standards..for then as now, an empire cost money...ask Bush. What amazes me is that people expected the Assyrians to kill the goose that laid the golden eggs..or in the case of Jerusalem, the hen that could at least lay eggs for kuleichi. What on earth would Sennakherib have DONE with all that sheepshit? Since no one ever wanted Jerusalem...the Jews decided, lo and behold, their mud walls were impregnable. The Assyrians marched up to the walls...sent the Jews inside quaking with fear..the Jew king went up on the wall and slit the throat of his own first born son like it was HIS fault..the Assyrians collected all the eggs and chickens and dust they needed..took pity on the rest of the king`s sons..and left...to come back next year for taxes...why on earth would you destroy the city? It was a shambles from that time till today...who WANTED it? Had the Christians not slaughtered the Jews in the Holocaust, there isn`t a Jew in Europe would have gone back to live in Palestine...I mean look what it took to force them to go live there! There was literally not a square inch on earth they were welcome to settle in BESIDES Jerusalem..and the ancient Assyrians felt the same way about the dump. --------------------- |
