[QUOTE="fiasco360, post: 959614, member: 8908"] I wonder how much information was lost in the library of Ashurbanipal. It's the oldest surviving library in history with a lot of ranging works of history, government, religion, creation, myths, science, mathematics etc. It's said through historical texts and cultural myths that Alexander the Great was inspired by this grand library and wanted to have one built that was similar. It's interesting how throughout history from the sacking of Nineveh to now with ISIS attempting to destroy Assyria's history that it managed to survive at all. The archaeologists found the cuneiform tablets of the Epic of Gilgamesh which if you're familiar at all with it you would know how many similarities it has with the bible and how it predates the bible thousands of years.
