...the most recent idiot to grace this page believes that if you are "born in Assyria you are Assyrian"....I suppose if his parents had moved to Beijing just before he was born, he'd be telling us today that he was descended from Genghis Khan!

...that regions was known as having once been Assyria....Greeks had written about it. It was no different than any one of a 100 nations the Romans squeezed into their Empire...so that being "born in Assyria" during Roman times, had nothing to do with you being the grandson of Ashurbanipal....nothing at all.

...by then there was no consciousness of "being Assyrian"....except as a regional birthplace....the ethnic people in that region at that time knew nothing about the ancients except a few lines in some Greek manuscript here and there.

....jeez!
