Thanks! My ancient-history knowledge cannot hold a candle to you, or probably most of the people here, but I do know that much regarding Assyria, and couldn’t resist - kind of like me calling Puerto Ricans Illegal Aliens when they come here.
Thanks for the kind remarks. I've often wondered why two ancient people would have such similar names ad be adjacent. There actually are ethnic Assyrians in Turkey, Syria, other M.E. countries, remarkably enough.
