It was the largest imperial polity in the history of the world, until eclipsed by the Achaemenid Empire of Cyrus the Great in the late 6th century bce. Modern scholars have been somewhat perplexed by the empire's apparent sudden collapse in the late 7th century bce, calling its termination an “historical scandal.” Keywords: 10th–6th centuries bce ; ancient history; archaeology; western Asia

This will involve a discussion of new texts that have been discovered, as well as the many reevaluations of texts found in previous decades. Beginning with a brief study of the nature of comparative research, this study will then survey textual material from each of the traditional ancient Near Eastern regions: Syria-Mesopotamia, Egypt, Anatolia, and Syria-Canaan, emphasizing documents that come from the sixth century BCE or earlier. One can conclude that new ancient Near Eastern discoveries continue to supply important material for furthering our historical understanding of the Hebrew Bible.
