Ashurbanipal, Last King of Assyria (Assyriology Archives, #1)
By AJ Carmichael
Length9h 2m
About this audiobook
In the seventh century BCE, an empire of iron and stone stood astride the ancient world. Its heart was Nineveh, its god was Assur, and its might was unmatched. At the helm of this colossal power rose Assurbanipal - warrior, scholar, hunter of lions and collector of worlds - the last great king of Assyria. Assurbanipal, Last King of Assyria tells the story of a ruler unlike any before or after him. He commanded armies that crushed Egypt, Elam, and Babylon, yet spent his nights reading ancient Sumerian texts and building the world's first systematically curated library. He believed a king must conquer with both the sword and the stylus. His palace walls roared with scenes of triumph, while his archives whispered with the wisdom of millennia.
