16 min - Assyrian God-King Speaks of his Conquests // Ancient Primary Source // 640 BC SennacheribIn the 7th century BC the Neo-Assyrian empire was the most powerful in the known world. Stretching from the heartlands of modern day Iraq to the fertile shores of the Mediterranean, it boasted the first professional standing army in history and a foreign policy steeped in excessive cruelty and fear.This inscription from King Sennacherib, a god in his subjects' eyes, encapsulates the Assyrian propagandistic penchant for brutality and flowery violence in order to instill fear in their enemies and keep their subject kingdoms in line. One of these was the ancient people of Judah whose capital Jerusalem was attacked, ravaged and spared, and the Elamites...who were not so lucky.How do we actually know about history? Voices of the Past is a channel dedicated to recreating the original accounts from the people who lived through events, or who lived far closer to them than we do today.

About History's Living Voices: The Past, Told by Those Who Lived It
From the publisher's feed
History's Living Voices is the ultimate, immersive history podcast that delivers firsthand, first-person historical accounts direct from the source.
In every episode, we cut out the middleman and go straight to the primary documents: personal diaries, battlefield maps with handwritten orders, private letters, and last-will-and-testaments. Through these authentic, unfiltered voices, discover the true human behind the legend. Imagine a seasoned medieval knight storyteller, having just removed his helmet, guiding you through the troop positions in an ancient manuscript, his words grounded in actual historical records—like a weathered document sealed with a critical year, such as '1776'.
From the front lines of global wars to the breakthroughs of visionaries, hear exactly what it felt like to be in the room where it happened. Perfect for fans of documentary storytelling and historical deep-dives who crave authenticity. If you want to know what it truly felt like to live through the moments that forged modernity, this is your journey.
Hit follow to listen to the people who wrote the real story of humanity.
