What on Earth happened to the Assyrians, Chaldeans, Arameans and other such Syriac peoples who once ruled the region of Mesopotamia and the Levant with an iron fist? Today we'll discuss the ancient and modern history of one of the world's most influential and significant groups.
Although the Assyrian presence in the Middle East is rapidly declining, the Assyrian/Syriac identity is still strong around the globe, with the overseas diaspora mostly contributing to this historic revival and awakening of the community. Please let me know your thoughts on the Assyrians, Maronites, St. Thomas Christians and the Syriac people as a whole. Thanks for watching!

Assyrian people
Assyrian people (Syriac: ܐܫܘܪܝܐ), also known as Chaldeans,Syriacs, and Arameans, (see names of Syriac Christians) are an ethnic group indigenous to the Middle East. Most Assyrians speak a Semitic Neo-Aramaic language, whose subdivisions include Northeastern, Central, and Western Neo-Aramaic, as well as another language, dependent on the country of residence.
The Assyrians are a Christian people who follow various Eastern Churches that use East Syrian and West Syrian liturgical rites. Churches that use the East Syrian rite include the Assyrian Church of the East, Ancient Church of the East, Assyrian Evangelical Church, Assyrian Pentecostal Church, and Chaldean Catholic Church, whose followers commonly speak Northeastern Neo-Aramaic whereas Churches that use the West Syrian rite include the Syriac Orthodox Church and Syriac Catholic Church and followers speak Central Neo-Aramaic.
The Assyrians are descended from one of the oldest civilizations in the world, dating at 2500 BC, in ancient Mesopotamia, making them one of the oldest and longest surviving ethnic and cultural groups in Asia. Today, the indigenous Assyrian homeland areas are "part of today's northern Iraq, southeastern Turkey, northwestern Iran and northeastern Syria". Many have migrated outside of the indigenous Assyrian homeland areas to other regions in the Caucasus, Levant, United States, Canada, Australia and Europe during the past century or so.Emigration was triggered by such events as the Assyrian Genocide by the Ottoman Empire during World War I, the Simele massacre in Iraq (1933), the Islamic revolution in Iran (1979), Arab Nationalist Baathist policies in Iraq and Syria, the Al-Anfal Campaign of Saddam Hussein

What on Earth happened to the Assyrians, Chaldeans, Arameans and other such Syriac peoples who once ruled the region of Mesopotamia and the Levant with an iron fist? Today we'll discuss the ancient and modern history of one of the world's most influential and significant groups.
Although the Assyrian presence in the Middle East is rapidly declining, the Assyrian/Syriac identity is still strong around the globe, with the overseas diaspora mostly contributing to this historic revival and awakening of the community. Please let me know your thoughts on the Assyrians, Maronites, St. Thomas Christians and the Syriac people as a whole. Thanks for watching!

The Assyrians in Australia Documentary
Father Narsai is a young Assyrian priest who is an inspiration to his growing congregation of young Assyrians in Sydney and Melbourne.
Persecuted for centuries they are a people without a country and their church has become the focus of their lively community. With Assyrians seeking refuge in Australia from the conflict in the Middle East, this is a timely exploration of this dynamic community of over 40,000 Assyrians.

Assyrian people
Assyrian people (Syriac: ܐܫܘܪܝܐ), also known as Chaldeans,Syriacs, and Arameans, (see names of Syriac Christians) are an ethnic group indigenous to the Middle East. Most Assyrians speak a Semitic Neo-Aramaic language, whose subdivisions include Northeastern, Central, and Western Neo-Aramaic, as well as another language, dependent on the country of residence.
The Assyrians are a Christian people who follow various Eastern Churches that use East Syrian and West Syrian liturgical rites. Churches that use the East Syrian rite include the Assyrian Church of the East, Ancient Church of the East, Assyrian Evangelical Church, Assyrian Pentecostal Church, and Chaldean Catholic Church, whose followers commonly speak Northeastern Neo-Aramaic whereas Churches that use the West Syrian rite include the Syriac Orthodox Church and Syriac Catholic Church and followers speak Central Neo-Aramaic.
The Assyrians are descended from one of the oldest civilizations in the world, dating at 2500 BC, in ancient Mesopotamia, making them one of the oldest and longest surviving ethnic and cultural groups in Asia. Today, the indigenous Assyrian homeland areas are "part of today's northern Iraq, southeastern Turkey, northwestern Iran and northeastern Syria". Many have migrated outside of the indigenous Assyrian homeland areas to other regions in the Caucasus, Levant, United States, Canada, Australia and Europe during the past century or so.Emigration was triggered by such events as the Assyrian Genocide by the Ottoman Empire during World War I, the Simele massacre in Iraq (1933), the Islamic revolution in Iran (1979), Arab Nationalist Baathist policies in Iraq and Syria, the Al-Anfal Campaign of Saddam Hussein
