I guess the bridge over that is in the Levant and Sumeria with the NeoAssyrian Empire and also with the Scythians in the steppes. But no divide will be perfect.

Hope to see this published soon! Our knowledge of the lower towns of NeoAssyrian capitals, and their occupants, is so thin.
In 700 BC, the Neo-Assyrian emperor Sargon II began building a capital city in modern-day Iraq. A new geophysical survey of the important Middle Eastern archaeological site overturns long-held assumptions about its history, according to new #AGU24 research.

More Mesopotamian animals, or in this case animal hybrids. Human head of winged bull ‘lamassu’ from NeoAssyrian capital of Khorsabad. Supposed to protect the palace, but this one sadly was looted and cut into pieces for illegal export. Caught and now displayed Iraq Museum Baghdad.

Clay ritual tablet for counteracting a curse. NeoAssyrian 669-631 BC
The ritual called Maqlu was done yearly where effigies of the supposed magicians who were enemies to the empire were destroyed. They read incantations and summoned the gods. #witchsky

Of the three types of cult official, the assinnu are the best documented. They appear as devotees of Inanna/Ishtar from Sumerian times until the NeoAssyrian period (c. 911-612 BCE). In Akkadian cuneiform, the word assinnu means “manwoman.” The assinnu are associated with
