"UNESCO World Heritage The city of Assur lay buried and unknown until it was discovered in 1821 by Claudius Rich, a British traveler. Much of our knowledge of the layout and buildings of the city comes from seventh-century B.C.E. clay tablets, uncovered by early twentieth-century excavations. Occupying a stony hill 174 miles (280 km) north of Baghdad, Assur overlooks an area thought by its builders to be home to the god Assur. The Assyrians, who were named after both the god and the city, probably originated in Sumeria; they founded Assur around 2,500 B.C.E, although the site had been inhabited during the previous millennium. The city grew as a center for trade with Anatolia, mainly in tin and wool. According to the unearthed tablets, a fortified wall, 2.5 miles (4 km) long, encircled the city. Inside were three royal palaces and thirty-four temples, as well as grand, spacious public areas and houses, and neighborhoods of cramped, poor dwellings. Although Assur ceased to be the royal residence in the early years of the first millennia B.C.E., it served as a royal burial site until the Medes people destroyed the city in 614 B.C.E. Gradual reoccupation and rebuilding followed, until a second sacking, this time by the Sassanids, in the third century CE The site of Assur continues to be revered by modern Assyrians. Visitors to the city are struck first by the ziggurat, a large, rectangular, stepped-brick structure dedicated to Assur, the principal Assyrian deity. To date, thirty-four temples have been discovered, and a palace has recently been reconstructed. The future of the city is uncertain, however. A proposal to dam the River Tigris to provide much-needed water for northern Mesopotamia would flood the site; although the project is in abeyance, the demand for water remains."

"La cité antique d’Assour se trouve sur les rives du Tigre, dans le nord de la Mésopotamie, dans une zone géo-écologique particulière, à la frontière séparant l’agriculture avec système d’irrigation de celle qui n’en possède pas. La ville est née au troisième millénaire avant J.-C. Du XIVe au IXe  siècle avant J.-C., en tant que première capitale de l’Empire assyrien, elle fut une ville-État et un carrefour commercial international. Elle fut aussi la capitale religieuse des Assyriens, associée au dieu Assour. La ville fut détruite par les Babyloniens mais renaquit de ses cendres à l'époque parthe, aux Ier et IIe siècles."

"The ancient city of Ashur is located on the Tigris River in northern Mesopotamia in a specific geo-ecological zone, at the borderline between rain-fed and irrigation agriculture. The city dates back to the 3rd millennium BC. From the 14th to the 9th centuries BC it was the first capital of the Assyrian Empire, a city-state and trading platform of international importance. It also served as the religious capital of the Assyrians, associated with the god Ashur. The city was destroyed by the Babylonians, but revived during the Parthian period in the 1st and 2nd centuries AD. Criterion iii: Founded in the 3rd millennium BCE, the most important role of Ashur was from the 14th to 9th century BCE when it was the first capital of the Assyrian empire. Ashur was also the religious capital of Assyrians, and the place for crowning and burial of its kings. Criterion iv: The excavated remains of the public and residential buildings of Ashur provide an outstanding record of the evolution of building practice from the Sumerian and Akkadian period through the Assyrian empire, as well as including the short revival during the Parthian period."
