Due to the importance of culture and civilizations that flourished in Mesopotamia, the history of mankind can be better understood today, day by day.

From the discovery of writing, invention of the wheel and the hunter-gatherer society to the agricultural society that shaped world history. Those were but few examples of that civilization’s gifts to humanity.

The Assyrian people and culture, is the cornerstone of that region's indigenous people in Mesopotamia. The Assyrian people in the cultural sense of wealth has been discovered only recently in Turkey too.

Today, they live in different regions, with different names (Syrian Assyrian Chaldean), and are scattered in small communities around the world. The people who struggled for life, the founders of first university in (Nusaybin), the earliest Christian missions workers that took them all the way from middles East to China. They translated ancient Greek works from Syriac into Arabic through the Assyrian bright and rich civilization, they were the region’s heir to that cultural revolutionary.

This book is written on the Assyrian culture and folklore, one of the most important part of his graduate thesis. Is the first academic work on this issue in Turkey.

This work came to light with the research of its author Mr. Senem, who worked for years in Mardin and Midyat, Iraq and Syria. He also took advantage of the accumulation knowledge on musical culture in those countries.

And according to us this work on Assyrian of Mesopotamia, is a treasured resource for all humanity.
