Assyria was a Semitic Akkadian kingdom, extant as a nation state from the mid 23rd Century BC to 608 BC centred on the Upper Tigris river, in northern Mesopotamia (present day northern 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: ������ �� Aššūrāyu; Arabic: أشور Aššûr; Hebrew: אַשּׁוּר Aššûr, Aramaic: ܐܬ݂ܘܿܪ Aṯur). Assyria was also sometimes known as Subartu, and after its fall, from 608 BC through to the late 7th century AD variously as; Athura, Greek Syria Assyria and Assuristan. The term Assyria can also refer to the geographic region or heartland where these empires were centred. Their descendants still live in the region today, and they form the Christian minority in Iraq, and exist also in north east Syria, south east Turkey and north west Iran.
