I took this from their website and want to say something about it. "We offer a partial explanation. Academic publications focused on Assyria are invariably dedicated to fleshing out the saga of its antiquity. Virtually no attention is paid to the history of those who survived the fall. This absence of scholarly attention is explained in part by what Dr. Edward Y. Odisho describes as "the confusion between the annihilation of the Assyrian political system and the annihilation of the Assyrian people". This is not to say that the surviving Assyrians and their accomplishments to follow have been entirely ignored by scholars. Yet it is a fact that in all but exceptional circumstances, they are described as anything but Assyrians. Whatever may be the reasons for this obliviousness, it is well past the hour for reconsideration." they been called anything but "assyrian". could the reason be that no one was identifying as an assyrian or there was no such identity until recently?
