Part of storyAssyriaView in story ›

Time: 4th Millenium BC

Place: Assur, Iraq

Details: The Akkadian-speaking people (the earliest historically-attested Semitic-speaking people) who would eventually found Assyria appear to have entered Mesopotamia at some point during the latter 4th millennium BC (c. 3500–3000 BC), eventually intermingling with the earlier Sumerian-speaking population, who came from northern Mesopotamia, with Akkadian names appearing in the written record from as early as the 29th century BC.

Best-effort ordering. Some events may appear out of order since many are only known to the year, but they are usually around the same period.
