22.01.2022 "With its collapse, Assyria was confronted with waves of successive conquests by foreign invaders driving the Assyrians deep within their majestic mountains. However, despite the shifts in Assyria’s sovereignty and religious thought Assyrians' sense of identity helped these remnants of the ancient past weather the storms of conquest." Assyria A.D.

17.01.2022 "The 1923 Treaty of Lausanne set Turkey’s borders, but also defined the rights of non-Muslim minorities. But the Assyrians in Turkey were excluded from the treaty and so still do not officially have the right to education in their mother tongue. There are currently around 25,000 Assyrians in Turkey today but only 4,000 or 5,000 can speak the Assyrian language...The UNESCO Interactive Atlas lists four Assyrian dialects in Turkey: Suret (definitely endangered), Turoyo (severely endangered), Hertevin (critically endangered) and Mlahso (extinct)."

13.01.2022 "However, as a result of the destruction of heritage sites by Daesh, such as the ancient Iraqi cities of Nineveh and Nimrud, or monasteries and churches, the Assyrian Christians I worked alongside felt that they were no longer welcome or safe in the areas where they had once lived." via Institute of Development Studies

10.01.2022 We are often told that Assyrians converted to Christainity through the apostles Mar Addai and Mar Mari. Did all Assyrians convert? And of those who converted, w...ere they members of one church or many churches? Given the diversity of the various churches that claim the same heritage, when and where did their divisions begin? Why do people who speak the same language and practice the same culture have different national names? Does this have to do with their church affiliation? In this evening’s class, we will begin to understand how Assyrian christianity became divided into many denominations and what each of these denominations believe. We will also look into whether being in a different church can change one's national heritage and identity.

06.01.2022 "When emblems of heritage, such as shrines or churches, have been intentionally destroyed, people’s histories embodied and enabled by this heritage are also erased. Tangible heritage such as archaeological sites serve as visual representations of a group and their presence in a place. As scholar Laurajane Smith has noted, to know our place is to situate ourselves culturally, socially and geographically in the world, to know where we belong."

01.01.2022 "Now, Babylon, like many of Iraq’s archaeological sites, has fallen into disrepair. The elements and damaging reconstruction have left walls crumbling, and construction and fuel pipelines threaten vast areas of the huge, largely unexcavated city." https://www.independent.co.uk//ancient-babylon-iraq-archae
