El domingo 26 de abril me pasé por el CaixaForum a ver la expo "Soy Asurbanipal, rey del mundo, rey de Asiria".
Impresionante, y magnífica la manera de animar los relieves mediante proyecciones de luz.

From @joannechocolat
Naqiʾa was a wife of the Assyrian king Sennacherib (705–681 BC).
She was highly influential in Assyrian #history as well as being one of only a few Assyrian women to be depicted in art,
... and is the only known ancient Assyrian figure other than kings to write and issue a treaty. 🤩

Aunque Senaquerib tuvo inicialmente como reina a Tašmētu-šarrat, Naqi'a obtuvo esta posición y favoreció la coronación de su hijo Asarhaddón. Durante su reinado, alcanzó gran riqueza y tierras, gobernando aquellas en torno a Lahira. Su último testimonio fue el tratado que obligaba a los aristócratas y a la familia real a jurar lealtad a su nieto Asurbanipal. 🏛️Louvre #asiria #assyria

A readable account of an ancient empire that arose in modern-day Iraq, ruled the Middle East for a century, and then vanished suddenly and permanently, much like the Hittites. How can an entire nation disappear?

Triumph and Betrayal: Assyria’s Path to Empire, 935–745 BC by Alexander Johannes Edmonds, 2025
While the study of Assyria as ‘the world’s first empire’ has never been more popular, the events of the foundational early Neo-Assyrian period (935–745 BC) remain only poorly understood and explained.

the assyrians were doing oracles by sacrificing animals, mostly goats and rams as it looks. and they were recording these sacrifices for posteriority or bureaucracy. they always used these severability clauses in their incantations, to make the gods respond even if some of the priest had messed up ("please respond even if the priest is unclean").
and sometimes these questions to the gods were so secret that even the gods were not allowed to hear their content during the sacrifice:I [ask] you, Šamaš, great lord, whether Assurbanipal, son of Esarhaddon, king of Assyria, should send Nabû-šarru-uṣur, rab-mūgi, to Egypt, and whether he will carry out whatever orders Assurbanipal is giving to him.
they expect a kind of carte blanche here ...

A lavish Iron Age cremation at Horvat Tevet is rewriting what scholars thought about Assyrian power and rural life in the Jezreel Valley. Luxury imports, trade tools, and a mysterious life converge in one extraordinary burial. #Archaeology #IronAge #Levant #Assyria https://www.anthropology.net/p/a-fire-in-the-valley-what-an-iron
