Produktbeschreibung
In the seventh century BCE, an empire of iron and stone stood astride the ancient world. Its heart was Nineveh, its god was Assur, and its might was unmatched. At the helm of this colossal power rose Assurbanipal - warrior, scholar, hunter of lions and collector of worlds - the last great king of Assyria. Assurbanipal, Last King of Assyria tells the story of a ruler unlike any before or after him. He commanded armies that crushed Egypt, Elam, and Babylon, yet spent his nights reading ancient Sumerian texts and building the world's first systematically curated library. He believed a king must conquer with both the sword and the stylus. His palace walls roared with scenes of triumph, while his archives whispered with the wisdom of millennia. But beneath the glory, cracks had already formed. Tribute dried, provinces rebelled, and within his own bloodline smoldered betrayal. Assyria - vast, terrifying, magnificent - had reached its cosmic zenith, and with Assurbanipal's death, its sun would set forever. Nineveh would burn. Its gods would fall silent. Yet the clay tablets he preserved would survive the ashes, carrying his voice across twenty-six centuries. This book is not only a biography of a king - it is the story of an empire at its brightest and on the brink of twilight. It weaves war and scholarship, divinity and downfall, exploring how one man embodied the pinnacle of civilization while unknowingly ushering in its end.
