In the third podcast of the series "The Epic of Ancient Assyria," we continue where we left off and take a look at the beginnings of what's known as the Middle Assyrian period. The star of this show is the ambitious king, Ashur-uballit I. He basically takes Assyria from a petty kingdom that has just attained its independence and turns it into a respectable regional power. He also set the foundation for what would become the Middle Assyrian Empire. Check out the episode for details.
