Hey s_e_e: The ancient Assyrians were not a "bunch of assholes", you cannot write such nonesense about my ancient ancestors. They competed for land as was the norm at that time. They invented numerous things, those of which you probably take for granted: wheel, lens, irrigation system (toilets), glass, number zero, etc... you CANNOT make generalizations about a group of people for their past, and a past that was quite similar to other groups of people at that time, try not to be so ignorant.

Yes. As an academic discipline, Assyriology presents itself as one of the most demanding fields in the humanities.
Assyriology is the historical and archaeological study of ancient Mesopotamia. The field covers not just Assyria but also that nation's eventual conqueror, Babylonia and the predecessor of both civilisations, Sumer. The large number of cuneiform clay tablets preserved by these cultures provide an enormous resource for the study of the period and the region's (and the world's) first cities such as Ur are archaeologically invaluable as for studying the growth of urbanisation.
