Why would they? There's nothing there, just forests. It's strategically useless

Interestingly Sardinian staruettes were depicted wearing Assyrian armor in some cases

>are the dwemer real?
no

That's bullshit, it would take decades to get to Sardinia.

What was in western europe to conquer back then

The proto-Germanic Kangdom of Wauz

Western Europe had nothing going for it. Otherwise, Greeks would have colonized it. I suppose it could have been done but it would have been difficult for not much payoff.

The Greeks had their colonies all the way to southern France and Spain. Marseille was founded as a Greek colony. It's just that Greeks never had resources nor ambition to step into the continent firmly like the Romans did.

Digits confirm they could.

faliure

They would have found this

Greece, Sardinia and Iberia

An Assyrian king boasts that all the western countries paide tribute to him: Iadnana (Cyprus), Iavan (Greece) and Tarshish (Sardinia and/or South Iberia), probably because Phoenicoans from Tyre brought him goods from the colonies They had in those places

Lord of the rings?

Yeah, Tolkien published his first stories around 1000 BC

What modern ethnic group is the most associated with ancient Assyrians? Syrians?

Wasn't the Assyrian empire mostly located in modern Iraq and Iran?

Assyrians?

Assyrians you fucktard

Not while based in the middle east they couldn't.

Technically They did, Phoenicians from Tyre were Assyrian vassals and they had towns in Sardinia and Iberia from which They brought silver, copper, tin and gold

No, because there wasn't anything to conquer. No cities, no fortresses, just vast wilderness dotted with farms and village. ASSyrrians (or any ancient army) couldn't occupy barbarian territory, they had far too few men to do so.

Trade stations set up with the assent of the locals isn't quite the same shit as moving an army from Nineveh to Brigantium user, and it would be stupid to pretend otherwise.

not knowing Assyrians exist,
What is the ehtnic group most associated with Samaritans?
lmao

>No, because there wasn't anything to conquer. No cities, no fortresses

Lol?

>Implying the Noldorian kingdoms wouldn't have BTFO those orcs

Fingolfin was literally the best king the Noldor ever had. How can Feanorlets ever deny that?

>no cities

Logistically, no. It wasn't developed enough to support a campaign of conquest on the same scale as Alexander the Great's.

I wonder why the Phoenicians never sailed into the Indian Ocean, when the Arabs were perfectly capable of sailing from Arabia to India and even all the way down the Eastern Coast of Africa.

Elu Thingol is better than all of the Noldor.

Because it would take a lot more time

Too long at sea? I guess their boats wouldn't have been advanced enough to travel directly across the Indian Ocean on trade winds like the dhow, but I've read that unlike the Greek ships those of the Phoenicians were more adept in open water and didn't need to lay anchor for the night.

Phoenicians needed to cross the whole read sea to go to the indian ocean, a perillious journey where the only land They stop by where deserts inhabited by nomads
