"The The Ashur Bani pal library was the greatest of its time. Here were collected the entire knowledge of the civilization including: Literature, mathematic, astronomy, list of plants and animals, history of various nations, dictionaries, geography, knowledge about various technologies and many other subjects."

Great, indeed! Being a voracious reader myself, I'd be the first to cluck cluck over a big fancy library. But let's not forget that the library of Ashur Banipal was built on the blood of communities that were raped and pillaged for their materials. Assyria was not built altruistically.
