The University of Missouri Studies, Vol. 3: Social Science Series, Assyrian Historiography, a Source Study (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from The University of Missouri Studies, Vol. 3: Social Science Series, Assyrian Historiography, a Source Study
When the German excavations were begun at Ashur, the earliest capital Of the Assyrian empire, it was hoped that the scanty data with which we were forced to content ourselves in writing the early history would soon be much amplified. In part, our expectations have been gratified. We now know the names of many new rulers and the number of new inscriptions has been enormously increased. But not a single annals inscription from this earlier period has been discovered, and it is now becoming clear that such documents are not to be expected. Only the so called Display inscriptions, and those with the scantiest con tent, have been found, and it is not probable that any will be hereafter discovered.
