Ashur, named after the sun-god of the Assyrians, is one of the cities that flourishes in the middle of the Tigris Valley during this period.
The Assyrians are Semitic speakers who occupy Babylon for a brief period in the thirteenth century BCE.
Invasions of iron-producing peoples into the Middle East and into the Aegean region in approximately 1200 BCE had disrupted the indigenous empires of Mesopotamia, but eventually the Assyrians are able to capitalize on the new alignments of power in the region.
