Assyria: Its Princes, Priests and People By-Paths of Bible Knowledge VII E-text prepared by Delphine Lettau, Richard Hulse, and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team (http://www.pgdp.net) from page images generously made available by Internet Archive/Canadian Libraries (http://archive.org/details/toronto) "Assyria: Its Princes, Priests and People" by A. H. Sayce is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work delves into the ancient Assyrian civilization, exploring its rulers, religious practices, and the daily lives of its people, while contextualizing it within the broader scope of Mesopotamian history. The book likely presents a rich tapestry of information that illustrates the cultural and historical significance of a once-great empire. At the start of the text, the author emphasizes the transformative achievement of recovering and deciphering the ancient records of Assyria, particularly those found in Nineveh. This recovery has not only illuminated the history of Assyria but also connects it deeply with the biblical narrative, particularly the accounts found in the Old Testament. Sayce describes the process through which forgotten tablets, inscriptions, and art reveal the thoughts, beliefs, and daily lives of the Assyrian people, thus redefining their significance in both ancient and modern contexts. The opening portion establishes a firm basis for the exploration that follows, documenting how archaeological findings have reshaped our understanding of Assyrian history, culture, and its interactions with neighboring civilizations.
