Ancient Village or Settlement in ISrael
Following the expansion of Assyrian Empire to our region (734 – 627 BCE) Philistia in general and Ashdod in particular became a target for Assyrian armies for its economic status as a coastal city with a nearby port (Ashdod Yam) and strategic location on the sea route to Egypt.
From the Bible and written Assyrian source we know about two uprisings in Ashdod against the Assyrian occupation that happened in the period of Assyrian king Sargon II (722 – 705 BCE). Following the uprisings Ashdod was conquered and made an Assyrian vassal city-state headed by an Assyrian governor.
