The Assyrians are a Semitic people who originated from ancient Mesopotamia, now northern Iraq, northeastern Syria, southeastern Turkey, and the fringes of western Iran. They established one of the earliest great empires in the world, known as the Assyrian Empire, around the 25th century BC. Presently, Assyrians are an ethnic minority group primarily adhering to Christianity and speaking Neo-Aramaic languages. Their rich heritage includes ancient architecture, arts, and religious traditions.
