What reading level is Assyria From the Rise of the Empire to the Fall of Nineveh Continued From Chal book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
pcnsc of superior merit. " * These lines arc cer- tainly forcible and impressive ; but, are the)- equally true? Are those really " mighty names" that are transmitted to us without a faintest record of any achievement attached to them ? Deeds of moment, greatness of any kind, generally survive in some way, leave some trace or memory, occur indi- rectly in later records if contemporary monuments are wanting. Assyrian kings, absorbed as they were in their own exploits and given to self-glorifi- ca...tion as they show themselves throughout their monumental literature, were not forgetful of their more eminent predecessors, and often refer to them with reverence and admiration, or at least, as we have already repeatedly seen, mention this or that fact connected with their reigns. That no such posthumous mention occurs of any of those who succeeded, during the next two centuries, to the power so firmly established by Tiglath-Pileser, is perhaps in itself rather conclusive proof that there %vas little to record, nothing especially noteworthy, either as event or personal character, to stand out prominently in the memory of posterity and break the monotonous if exciting routine of petty war- fare, hunting, building, and despotic home-rule which made up the average career of an Ass\-rian monarch.
