Nabopolassar, the Chaldean, was allied with the king of the Medes and the prince of Damascus; Assurbanipal, the Assyrian, was aided by Pharaoh Seti and for some time by the king of the Scythians. For many years the fortunes of war changed camps. Then Nabopolassar and Cyaxares, the Mede, brought the Scythians over to their side. Their armies advanced from three sides against Nineveh. The dam on the Tigris was breached, and Nineveh was stormed. In a single night the city that was the splendor of its epoch went up in flames, and the centuries-old empire that ceaselessly carried sword and fire to the four quarters of the ancient world - as far as Elam and Lydia, Sarmatia and Ethiopia - ceased to exist forever.
