I can describe the assyrians & chaldeansThe Assyrians were very powerful people that had a huge army. These people were feared by other city-states. They had a gift for building temples and palaces.
The Chaldeans were also powerful and had lots of riches. They became the worlds largest city very fast because of the amount of people and trading. These people were called artisans because they made pottery, baskets, and jewelry. |
Problem & solutionThe problem with the Assyrians was that when they conquered some people the people the Chaldeans controlled got stronger. The groups got harder and harder for the Assyrians to keep calmed. The solution is to be nice to everyone because they could gain courage and fight back.
