| − | The end of the Assyrian empire was caused by things like the end of Ashurbanipal's rule, changes in leaders, a lot of fighting, over expansion, and the pressure of enemies like the Babylonians and their alliances. The Babylonians were aided by others and eventually they burned down Nineveh and took over Mesopotamia. Plutarch's theory helps prove this because once Ashurbanipal stopped ruling the Assyrians, they began to crumble. Then the great Nabopolassar and the Babylonians took charge over the Assyrians.
