Assyria - Ancient Version of Nazi Germany
from Bro History · host Bro History
The Assyrian War Machine created the world’s first great empire, held together by brutality and terror. For example, they would implement horrific physical punishments such as skinning people alive, mutilating body parts and burning down entire cities. In addition, they would deport entire populations in order to destroy the national identity of their subjects. This has led many historians to liken them as the ancient version of Nazi Germany. Today we discuss the rise of the Neo-Assyrian Empire, the evolution of Ancient armies and why their neighbors felts the need to wipe them off the face of the earth.
