Ancient Mesopotamia Assyria was a Semitic Akkadian kingdom centered on the Upper Tigris river, in Mesopotamia present day Iraq , that came to rule regional empires a number of times through history. It was named for its original capital, the ancient city of Assur Akkadian language Akkadian lang akk A r yu Arabic language Arabic lang ar lang arLatn A r Hebrew language Hebrew lang he lang he Latn A r , Aramaic language Aramaic lang syc lang arc Latn A ur . The term Assyria can also refer to the geographic region or heartland where these empires were centered. Their descendants still live in the region today, and they form the Christian minority in Iraq Citation needed date February 2011 . After the fall of the Akkadian Empire , it split into two separate nations Assyria in the north, and Babylonia in the south. During the ancient Assyrian period 23rd to 15th centuries BC , Assur controlled much of Upper Mesopotamia and parts of Asia Minor. In the Middle Assyrian period 15th to 10th centuries BC , its influence waned and was subsequently regained in a series of conquests. The Neo Assyrian Empire of the Early Iron Age 911 612 BC expanded further, and under Ashurbanipal r. 668 627 BC for a few decades controlled all of the Fertile Crescent , as well as Late Period of ancient Egypt Egypt , before succumbing to Neo Babylonian Empire Neo Babylonian and Medes Median expansion, which were in turn conquered by the Achaemenids Persian Empire . Early history The earliest neolithic site in Assyria is at Tell Hassuna , the center of the Hassuna culture in Iraq. Of the early history of the kingdom of Assyria, little is positively known. The earliest king named Tudiya appears to have lived in the 22nd Century BC according to the Assyrian King List .
