What on Earth Happened to the Assyrians?

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!
