U-2012>The Assyrian Empire is the same as the Eastern half of the Roman Empire.

errr.. no

Sorry to see how superficial is your analysis.

Assyria was a major Mesopotamian Semitic kingdom, and often
empire, of the Ancient Near East, existing as an independent state
for a period of approximately nineteen centuries from c. 2500 BC
to 605 BC, spanning the Early Bronze Age through to the late Iron
Age. For a further thirteen centuries, from the end of the 7th century
BC to the mid-7th century AD, it survived as a geo-political entity,
for the most part ruled by foreign powers, although a number of small
Neo-Assyrian states arose at different times throughout this period.

Wrong. My post was factual -- your post is not

The Assyrian kingdom prior to 1000 BC was different from that of 700 BC -- the latter is called the "neo-Assyrian Empire"

Secondly, your statement "The Assyrian Empire is the same as the Eastern half of the Roman Empire." is factually wrong -- look at the maps above, the Eastern Roman Empire only had the western portion of the previous Assyrian Empire. The Iranis had the eastern portion

I found a map which supports your ISIS - ancient Assyrian comparison. It's from the latter empire.
