The ancient Assyrians ruled Mesopotamia for a large portion of recorded history, and were one of the most brutal empires in the history of mankind.

When the Assyrian empire reached it's golden age from around 745 BC to 626 BC they were renowned for their brutality in battle. Men, women and children were often thrown into large fires set in cities that did not surrender, the city rulers would often find their heads on stakes outside the city as a warning to others.
