Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The Assyrians built palaces on tall mounds. What does this tell you about them? They thought they were more important than others, almost godlike. Why did Nebuchadnezzar build an inner wall, outer wall, towers for archers to stand on, and a mat filled with water around the city of Babylon?
Detailed explanation-2: -Assyrian empire builders-Sargon II, king of Assyria (721-705 BC)
Detailed explanation-3: -The basic purpose of all Assyrian palace decoration was to glorify the king and to present an ideal, ordered world with Assyria at its center. King Ashurbanipal of Assyria, who ruled in the 600s BC, famously declared, “I am… king of the world, king of Assyria.”
