In this scene, we witness the mighty Assyrian army preparing for battle against their adversaries. The soldiers are seen leaving the grand city of Assur, loaded with supplies onto rafts supported by inflated skins. These makeshift vessels were designed to be carried downstream by the swift current of a nearby river. As we gaze at this historical snapshot, we can't help but marvel at the scale and complexity of ancient civilizations. The Assyrians were known for their military prowess and expansive empire, which stretched across vast territories. This image serves as a reminder of their strength and determination.
