Space & Time

My name is Nineveh named after our great capital of Assyria. We re located on the Tigris River the farthest north of all the cities. This Great city was first settled around 6000 B.C.E we are one of the oldest cities in this area.

Our King Ashurbanipal has just finished his great palace. Within his new palace walls there's a grand library, this is where I spend my days. Reading of or past while living our present.

Assyria is known for its military our great warriors are feared world wide. This pass year we captured and destroyed Babylon. A few years ago Assur was capture by the Cyaxares yet Nineveh held her ground. Yet we do not consider ourselves a military empire but a religious empire.

We are the first nation to accept Christianity as a religion. We have many beautiful churches to honor the religion the first of its kind. There was a prior religion of Ashurism which decline because more and more of us believe in Christianity. Our main deity is Ashur, the God of war. Yet we are Christians.

I love being in the library I've read many great things. We Assyrians have made some wonderful leaps in him inventions of the world. We are the first to have a lock and key. They were the first to have the chariot and the library.

Our library holds document of mathematic, astronomy, poems, hymns, and medical information. We are great thinkers and are interested in the sciences of all things. We have philosophers, historians, and an interest in the medicines; aspects f life. Our own Philosopher Job of Edessa rivaled Aristotle himself in the ways of the word; believe that matter was a force.
