Abstract





Assyria emerged as a global power from the tenth century until the sixth century BC, and its kings were able to impose their control over vast areas of the ancient world. The political map of the Neo Assyrian Kingdom extended between (911-612 BC) from the Mediterranean Sea (the Upper Sea) in the west to the Arabian Gulf. (The Lower Sea) to the south, and to shed light on the Assyrian expansion into the Arabian Peninsula, we chose this topic for study, relying on an analysis of the texts of the Assyrian royal annals, as well as artistic scenes related to the topic of research
