O governo da Assíria, uma das grandes civilizações da Antiguidade, era caracterizado por um sistema de monarquia teocrático e centralizado. Os reis assírios eram vistos não apenas como líderes políticos, mas também como representantes dos deuses na Terra, especialmente do deus nacional Assur. Eles governavam com poder absoluto, sendo responsáveis por todas as decisões militares, administrativas e religiosas do império.
A organização administrativa era altamente estruturada, com governadores (ou sátrapas) que supervisionavam províncias e cidades sob o comando direto do rei. Esses governadores tinham funções militares e civis, incluindo a coleta de impostos e a manutenção da ordem. Para fortalecer o controle centralizado, o império empregava um sistema de comunicação eficiente com estradas e mensageiros rápidos, garantindo que as ordens do rei chegassem a todas as partes do império com ra

Why was Israel more vulnerable to the Assyrian empire than Judah was?
Well, isn't that an interesting question! You see, Israel was more vulnerable to the Assyrian empire because they had a weaker political structure and faced internal instability. Meanwhile, Judah had a stronger monarchy and was able to maintain better alliances, which helped protect them from Assyrian aggression. It's all about strength in unity and standing together, just like how happy little trees support each other in a painting.

What happened to the Israelites after Israel was conquered by the Assyrians?
According to The Bible, the Israelites from the northern kingdom were deported to Assyria by the Assyrian king and placed in Halah and Habor, on the river of Gozan and in the cities of the Medes. Josephus and Jerome later tell us that they remained there for hundreds of years, under submission to the Persian empire. When Persia fell, they became subjects of the Hellenistic empire, in particular, the Parthians. During the time of Christ, many of them visited Jerusalem on pilgrimage during the Passover, as is mentioned in the New Testament during Pentecost. If Jesus' testimony is to be believed, these exiled Israelite tribes were among the first Hebraic peoples to receive the gospel, which was preached to them by such apostles as Thomas and Thaddeus. After the destruction of the Jewish temple in 70 AD by the Romans, the Jews in Judea were dispersed throughout the nations and most of them fled to places where their Israelite brethren were already living, such as Persia (Tehran), Urmia (northern Iran), Egypt, Jordan and Syria. But because of differences in religious beliefs, the two groups of Israelites experienced a schism. Most of them had accepted Christianity and became known as Orthodox Christians; the ones who rejected Jesus as Messiah became known as Jews, and allied themselves with the Zionist cause, later emigrating to Israel or other Western countries.
They're not, but they like to pretend. They jam-pack their houses with many family members, thus they have more disposable income. They are very materialistic, so they all have to own brand name cars. Many of the women especially, work as receptionist, hair stylist, and other occupations that pay less than 50k, but their dads pay for their 40k cars. Some of them have a little money because the US government makes it incredibly easy for immigrants to own profitable business here.

Why were the Assyrians and babylonians successful?
Because they thought if they were superior, they could come together and make one tribe.
In the 8th century B.C., biblically speaking... the Assyrians had come into their own as a fierce and powerful nation [empire] that struck "terror" in the hearts of any people who found themselves their target.
The brutal Assyrians gave the "applied science of terror" to the world. They nailed the flayed skin of prisoners up for public display, and mutilated those who resisted them. They burned cities to the ground and were the role models for today's terrorists.
And it happened at this time, that the God of Israel "struck terror" in the hearts of His people by bringing Assyria against them. The House of Israel had strayed from their God and His laws [adopting the idols and gods of other nations]... and a series of tragic national events occurred, which God allowed, in an attempt to "warn" His people to return to the ways and lifestyle of Righteousness.
Assyria was the vicious empire who would defeat the House [or kingdom] of Israel, following their utter failure to recognize the repeated warnings God gave to them [beginning with His removal of His protection of them from other nations]. The House of Israel failed to heed the warnings and "repent" of their godless ways. The warnings were patiently spread over an approximate three year period, to give Israel a chance to change.
It was Assyria who uprooted and removed the House of Israel from their land and the life they knew. Assyria carried them away, where they became lost to world history -- remembered as the "Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel."
Assyria was very important to the House of Israel in the 6th century. They had forsaken their God to the point that in a matter of a few generations, following their defeat and removal by the Assyrians, they would start to think of themselves as "Gentiles."
Unlike the Jews [the House of Judah], about 130 years later, who would go into "Babylonian captivity" and return after 70 years... the House of Israel never returned to their homeland.
They adapted and adopted the gods of the pagan nations to whom they were captives and slaves... and lost their identity as a people [the people of the God of Israel].
It's doubtful that any of them considered Assyria "important" to them... considering that they failed to understand what was happening to them... and why... and considering that they lived in terror and that the survivors had their lives turned upside down.
But Israel's scattering by Assyria played an "important" part in the future salvation of all the nations of the world through Jesus Christ.
"...Israel has experienced a hardening in part until the full number of the Gentiles has come in. And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written: 'The Deliverer will come from Zion; He will turn godlessness away from Jacob. And this is My covenant with them when I take away their sins.'" (Rom.11:25-27 NIV)
At least, that's one reason why Assyria is important... as terrifying and upsetting as it might have been at the time.

Was the code of Hammurabi a code of laws for Assyrian?
Hammurabi was an Assyrian with the Acadian language as his first language who used the cuneiform writing system following the lineage from the first Assyrian king Sargon. Babylonia retained the written Semitic Acadian language for official use, despite its Amorite founders and Kassite successors not being native Acadians. Hammurabi realized the cruel kings lived a short reign. He even helped to secure the Babylonian Empire from enemies. Hammurabi was the ruler who chiefly established the greatness of Babylon, the world's first metropolis. Many relics of Hammurabi's reign have been preserved, and today we can study this remarkable King as a wise law-giver in his celebrated code. By far the most remarkable of the Hammurabi records is his code of laws, the earliest-known example of a ruler proclaiming publicly to his people an entire body of laws, arranged in orderly groups, so that all men might read and know what was required of them.
The earliest mention of the city of Babylon can be found in a tablet from the reign of Sargon of Akkad dating back to the 23rd century BC and by the time Hammurabi reached the throne, his code made life in Babylon more just.
