enemies
The first invaders of ancient Mesopotamia were the Hittites. they used chariots to battle but were still taken over by the kassites, who were defeated and conquered by the assyrias. The assyrians were then attacked by invaders, that hurt the Assyrian empire for 300 years before they were finally back to normal condition. Unfortunately the Assyrians were then taken over by the Chaldeans in a time of weakness.the picture on the right is an example of the Hittites chariots.
