Did the devil land destroy the Assyrian Empire?

Recent research has raised new theories

The two-century-old majesty of the New Assyrian kingdom was most likely killed by a drought of 60 years, according to American scientists.

The study that tracks the rainfall registers suggests that around 612 BC, the capital of the once vast empire that stretched from Iran to Egypt, Nineveh became an easy booty for Babylonians from the south and the Medes from the east.

Some archaeologists call this period "the mother of all catastrophes" because it seems incredible how two relatively small armies manage to take over the largest city in the world and destroy it to the ground.

 

Neither excavations nor the study of archival documents could answer this great mystery.

Ashish Sinha's team at the University of California found that it was all due to climate change using archaeological records provided by the University of Yale.

Scientists' conclusions and conclusions are published in Science Advances.

 

The po[CENSORED]tion of the Assyrian Empire was mainly engaged in agriculture and its livelihood depended on the climatic conditions and accordingly the amount of rainfall.

The Babylonians relied on their irrigation systems, so the drought was not catastrophic for them, says Harvey Weiss of Yale University.

Sinha's team investigates stalagmites from the Kuna Ba Cave, which to date is located in Iraq.

The structure of the stalagmites has given many responses to the climate of the respective time periods.

By synchronizing the results of their research with the available historical sources from that period, Sinha and Weiss were able to reach their final conclusion and find a link between the landfall and the collapse of the New Assyrian kingdom.
