Just leaving this here since today is Assyrian Martyr’s Day.
Today also marks 90 years since the Simele genocide of 1933. Where an estimated 6,000 Assyrian people were murdered by the Iraqi army.
Naturally the Iraqi government hasn’t done shit to address such killings historically and continues to do fuck all to acknowledge or address the ongoing plight of the Assyrian people, as do all the other governments under which they are stuck (Iran, Turkey and Syria).
Here’s another article which goes into more detail about the events. It’s admittedly a bit dated. But still.
Feel free to reblog this. In fact, please do so.

Don't ask me why but the latest whale weekly feels like it could be delivered a la Cher Horowitz or similar
"ugh, Sag-harbour thinks he's so smart, doubting the story of Jonah and the whale but like, he might not have been actually swallowed by the whale. Or it might not have been a literal whale.
And yeah, it would be difficult to get from the Mediterranean to Niniveh in few days but like it *is* supposed to be a miracle. Besides, they believe in it in Turkey and they're like, really smart."

Overcoming The Monster
Part of a series on what Joseph Campbell called the "one great story" of humanity.
The following are excerpts from The Seven Basic Plots: Why We Tell Stories by Christopher Booker cut together and highlighted to create a dialogue between the reader and the text.
‘LEGENDS OF THE SLAUGHTER OF A DESTRUCTIVE MONSTER ARE TO BE FOUND ALL OVER THE WORLD. THE THOUGHT UNDERLYING THEM ALL IS THAT THE MONSTER SLAIN IS PRETERNATURAL AND HOSTILE TO MANKIND.’
- E. S. Hartland, The Legend of Perseus (1896)
The first part of the Sumerian Epic of Gilgamesh, as we now know it,
TELLS OF HOW THE KINGDOM OF URUK HAS FALLEN UNDER THE TERRIBLE SHADOW OF A GREAT AND MYSTERIOUS EVIL.
THE SOURCE OF THE THREAT IS TRACED TO A MONSTROUS FIGURE, HUMBABA, WHO LIVES HALF ACROSS THE WORLD, AT THE HEART OF A REMOTE FOREST.
THE HERO, GILGAMESH, GOES TO THE ARMOURERS WHO EQUIP HIM WITH SPECIAL WEAPONS, A GREAT BOW AND A MIGHTY AXE.
HE SETS OUT ON A LONG, HAZARDOUS JOURNEY TO HUMBABA’S DISTANT LAIR, WHERE HE FINALLY COMES FACE TO FACE WITH THE MONSTER.
THEY ENJOY A SERIES OF TAUNTING EXCHANGES, THEN EMBARK ON A TITANIC STRUGGLE.
Face to face with the monster.
AGAINST SUCH SUPERNATURAL POWERS, IT SEEMS GILGAMESH CANNOT POSSIBLY WIN.
BUT FINALLY, BY A SUPERHUMAN FEAT, HE MANAGES TO KILL HIS MONSTROUS OPPONENT.
THE SHADOWY THREAT HAS BEEN LIFTED.
GILGAMESH HAS SAVED HIS KINGDOM AND CAN RETURN HOME TRIUMPHANT.
In the autumn of 1962, nearly 5000 years after the story of Gilgamesh was placed in the library at Niniveh, a period encompassing almost the whole of recorded human history, a fashionable crowd converged on Leicester Square in London for the premiere of a new film. Dr No was the first of what was to become, over the next 40 years, the most popular series of films ever made (even by 1980 it was estimated that one or more of the screen adventures of James Bond had been seen by some 2 billion people, then nearly half the earth’s population). With their quintessentially late-twentieth century mixture of space-age gadgetry, violence and sex, anything more remote from the primitive world of those inhabitants of the first cities who conceived the religious myth of Gilgamesh might seem hard to imagine. Yet consider the story which launched the series of Bond films that night in 1962.
THE WESTERN WORLD FALLS UNDER THE SHADOW OF A GREAT AND MYSTERIOUS EVIL.
THE SOURCE OF THE THREAT IS TRACED TO A MONSTROUS FIGURE, THE MAD AND DEFORMED SCIENTIST DR NO, WHO LIVES HALF ACROSS THE WORLD IN AN UNDERGROUND CAVERN ON A REMOTE ISLAND.
THE HERO JAMES BOND GOES TO THE ARMOURER WHO EQUIPS HIM WITH SPECIAL WEAPONS.
HE SETS OUT ON A LONG, HAZARDOUS JOURNEY TO DR NO’S DISTANT LAIR, WHERE HE FINALLY COMES FACE TO FACE WITH THE MONSTER.
THEY ENJOY A SERIES OF TAUNTING EXCHANGES, THEN EMBARK ON A TITANIC STRUGGLE.
AGAINST SUCH NEAR-SUPERNATURAL POWERS, IT SEEMS BOND CANNOT POSSIBLY WIN.
BUT FINALLY, BY A SUPERHUMAN FEAT, HE MANAGES TO KILL HIS MONSTROUS OPPONENT.
THE SHADOWY THREAT HAS BEEN LIFTED.
THE WESTERN WORLD HAS BEEN SAVED. BOND CAN RETURN HOME TRIUMPHANT.
The realm of storytelling contains nothing stranger or more spectacular than this terrifying, life-threatening, seemingly all-powerful monster whom the hero must confront in a fight to the death.
Any story which can make such a leap across the whole of recorded human history must have some profound symbolic significance in the inner life of mankind.
- END OF EXCERPT
Why do these stories keep getting re-imagined & retold by each generation?
WHO ARE THE MONSTERS TODAY?
WHO IS SLAYING THEM?
WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH YOU?
Stayed tuned as we explore these questions and more...
I MUST NOW GO A LONG WAY…
I MUST FACE A FIGHT THAT I HAVE NOT FACED BEFORE.
AND I MUST GO ON A ROAD THAT I DO NOT KNOW.
—GILGAMESH, TABLET III, 2100 B.C.

Seawrack: Chapter Nine, Part One
A year has passed, and Berylla receives an unexpected reward.
Berylla stood before Lord Rhyon Achnelith, one of the wealthiest men in Niniveh, staring at him in astonishment. Beside her, Peregrine was smiling, while Limston and Elanna leaned on the fence, watching the horses grazing in the pasture beyond. The morning sun was only half as bright as the grin on the old lord’s face, and he tossed his head as the breeze made his white hair fly into his eyes.…

North Iraq summer 2015. I was in Baji, a strategic point to link Fallujah in Anbar province to Mosul. The fights were on in the refinery area. Islamic State used remote controlled car bomb to resist the siege of Iraqi security forces. In the pic a member of special detail of military governor of Niniveh province. The connection of the region to Baghdad was a thiny finger of highway 1, dotted with vehicle wreckages because mortar shells and marked by long anti-sniper walls. A long chain of checkpoints, the constant risk of an IS attack, military compound behind concrete several meters tall were the signs of a country still fighting to survive. But eventually Iraqis will retake Iraq - copyright pierrechiartano #Iraq #Niniveh #Baji #Baghdad #war #IS #middleeast #combatcamera #photo #photography #reporting #army #police #specialforce #swcc #chriskyle #likeme #like4likes #photoobserve https://www.instagram.com/p/CF2uaRMHT2G/?igshid=d83q9yi4527v

Jonah and the Whale
Jonah and the Whale
Jan Brueghel the Elder -Jonah Leaving the Whale – (17th century)
Jonah and the Whale

This Week's Six Pillars - 'I Am Ashurbanipual, King of the World'
This Week’s Six Pillars – ‘I Am Ashurbanipual, King of the World’
This week’s Six Pillars radio show: an in depth tour of “I Am Ashurbanipal, King of the World” currently on show at The British Museum London. One of history’s most dominant Kings, this Assyrian has yet been forgotten. A fierce, entirely merciless warrior, a proud scholar (the first in his line), empire-builder, a self-proclaimed king-slayer, a frequent lion hunter (to show his prowess, as lion’s…

Many are avidly seeking but they alone find who remain in continual silence. Every man who delights in a multitude of words, even though he says admirable things, is empty within. If you love truth, be a lover of silence. Silence like the sunlight will illuminate you in God and will deliver you from the phantoms of ignorance. Silence will unite you to God himself.
-- Isaac of Niniveh, quoted in Merton's Contemplative Prayer
