The Assyrian Empire was a powerful empire that reigned for many years. After the death of Ashurbanipal, the once dominant empire began to collapse. Because the Assyrian empire was such a powerful empire, and there was one king that ruled over the whole civilization, the success of the empire depended on the king. Ashurbanipal was a great king, and when he died, the civilization began to die as well. The Babylonians and the Medes then began to conquer Assyria by burning the city of Nineveh to the ground.
