The Assyrians were people of a common lineage, common language, common religion, and a common location. Though they are of different religious denominations, they consider themselves to form one greater religious community. They typically lived in Northern Iraq, Iran, Southeastern Turkey, and the eastern borders of Syria.

The Ancient Assyrians were known for their exploits and have been made known due to biblical accounts and historic archaeological artifacts. Many of their various idols, clay pots, weapons, etc are held in various museums across the globe.

What is the difference between ancient Syria and Ancient AsSyria?

When people talk about Ancient Syria, they are referring to the Ancient countries that existed where the country of Syria exists now, especially the area near to Damascus and Aleppo (in the west). The most common civilization referred to by Ancient Syria is Aramea, a secondary power in the Middle East that was evenly matched by the two Israelite Kingdoms for hegemony in the Levant, and the origin-country for the Aramaic language.Assyria, by contrast, was an ancient civilization that was predominantly located in what is today northern Iraq (particularly the lands under Islamic State control as of 2015). Assyria eventually conquered Aramea, but the center of the civilization never shifted away from Ninevah (which is modern Ninewa in northern Iraq).
