...Long after we've all produced evidence from the historical record...and even accounted for the hysterical record...it remains to ask why, in the last 700 years at least, no so-called assyrian has ever bothered to write in praise of "his" ancient history? While we have all read about and written about and praised that runt King David, Solomon, Isaiah, Moses, Jesus, Hezekiah, the Baptist and all that pack...till our eyeballs are red....where is the "pride" in the "memory" of our assyrian past?

..the Jews certainly never turned against or chose to ignore their great people....why did the assyrians see fit to turn their back on their own? You mean the Hebrews had less to be ashamed of than the ancient Assyrians? Where is there any evidence that "assyrians" KNEW they were Assyrians in that time...and where did they show they knew it?

..to ape Magpie's comment about inscriptions...is there any in which an assyrian extolled Ashurbanipal, as his ancestor, in say....1000 A.D.? Or any other time? For that matter, how many of us know or care anything about our ancient history today...? except as a sacrifice on yahwe's bloody altar?

...where is any pride in Assyria expressed by those who supposedly converted so gleefully to Christianity...where?

When all is said done and we've put away our historical sources we'll still be left with the awful silence during all those centuries when we "knew who we were", but found nothing to say about ourselves.
