• And so, let us begin our journey into the major empires of the Bible by looking more closely at the Assyrian empire. We first find mention of Assyria, or Asshur as it is in Hebrew, in the table of the nations in Genesis chapter 10. This chapter, with its detailed genealogy, has been extensively studied in the fascinating book, After the Flood, by Bill Cooper. After decades of painstaking research, Cooper found that the Biblical records agreed in astonishing detail with the ancient written histories of many nations. Genesis chapter 10 was true. The truth and accuracy of the Bible was vindicated.
