Well done & very interesting. A number of yrs ago I had the honor of attending a program presented by Dr. Eden Naby whose specialty was Middle Eastern studies at Harvard. She spoke about the diaspora of the dwindling Assyrian culture. Our host invited me to join the small group for dinner. I regret not staying in touch.
A massive plague occurred at the end of the Bronze Age, when Assyria pulled back into its homeland. So Iron Age Assyrians may have been sensitive to plague outbreaks.
