In this episode of The Story of Iraq, Lucas and Luna explore the reign of Ashurnasirpal II, the Assyrian king who transformed the city of Kalhu (Nimrud) into a spectacular capital of power and terror. They examine his famous Banquet Stela, which records a ten-day feast for nearly 70,000 guests—a feat of logistics and political theater. Lucas explains how Ashurnasirpal used brutal inscriptions to project fear, describing mass impalements and flayings, while also patronizing the arts and rebuilding temples. The conversation touches on the Standard Inscription that adorned palace walls, the symbolic role of the god Ninurta, and the king's massive hunting expeditions documented on reliefs. Lucas connects Assyrian propaganda to modern statecraft, showing how terror and spectacle were deliberate tools of empire. The episode also includes a brief, organic mention of listener support for the ad-free podcast. #AshurnasirpalII #NeoAssyrianEmpire #Kalhu #Nimrud #BanquetStela #StandardInscription #AssyrianPropaganda #Ninurta #LionHuntReliefs #AssyrianArt #FexingoHistory #TheStoryOfIraq #AncientIraq #Mesopotamia #Assyriology #History #Podcast #MiddleEastHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
