Gutian dynasty persisted until the end of the 17th century BC As a matter of fact, the wholly negative opinion that even some modern historians have of the Gutians is based solely on a few stereotyped statements by the Sumerians &Akkadians, especially on theinscription of Utu-hegal of Uruk(c 2116-c2110).While Old Babylonian sources give the region between the Tigris&the Zagros Mountains as the home of the Gutians, these people probably also lived on the middle Euphrates during the 3rd millennuim

@A55YRlAN The fall of Nineveh shocked the ancient world. The Jewish prophet Nahum described the Median armies advancing to the city that had once ruled the Near East.

An attacker advances against you, Nineveh. [...]

The shields of his soldiers are red;

the warriors are clad in scarlet.

The metal on the chariots flashes

on the day they are made ready;

the spears of pine are brandished.

The chariots storm through the streets,

rushing back and forth through the squares.
