Opis

The people who inhabited/ruled Mesopotamia were the Sumerians, Akkadians (Assyrians and Babylonians), ARAMEANS, Persians, Macedonians, Parthians, Sassanids, Arabs, Ottomans.That region was historically also known as Aram-NAHARAIM (Aram of two rivers (Euphrat and Tigris)). The other Aram is the region below the Euphrat in modern Syria. Modern Syrians. The Aramaization of Mesopotamia is not an isolated phenomenon. The Aramaeans are first mentioned in the Annals of Tukulti Apil Esharra (Tiglath - Pileser) I in the very first years of the 12th century BCE. They settled in several areas in the Mesopotamian North (Assyrians did not intermingle with them) or South (where we have full proof of their mixture with the Babylonians). Of course, Aramaeans later spread out in Syria and shaped several Aramaic states, notably that of Damascus, but in Mesopotamia the preponderance of Assyria and Babylon did not permit them to do so. The Aramaic states of the West collapsed in the Assyrian 'Globalization' of the Middle East that took place at the end of the 8th and during the 7th centuries BCE.
