<br/><br/> For the greater part of the period from the end of the 10th century to the 7th century BC, the Ancient Near East was dominated by the dynamic military power of Assyria. At the zenith of its rule Assyria could lay claim to an empire that stretched from Egypt in the west to the borders of Iran in the east and encompassed for the first time in history, within the realm of a single imperial domain, the whole of the "Fertile Crescent". Yet within 50 years of its peak this empire had collapsed with remarkabel rapidity. The rise of the Neo-Babylonian Empire, under Nebuchadnezzar II and its Persian successors must be seen as conscious attempts by these powers, through their own rule over the Near East, to emulate Assyria's example and inherit her imperial mantle.
