 +==== Biography of Aššur-dan II ====
 Historians regard this king's reign as marking the beginning of the Neo-Assyrian period, for which it is most famous. In this last span of its history, Assyria expanded once again into northern Mesopotamia into territories previous held in the Middle Assyrian period, before engaging in a much larger expansionist project that eventually saw the domination of all of Mesopotamia and Egypt.  Historians regard this king's reign as marking the beginning of the Neo-Assyrian period, for which it is most famous.
