The Arabs took their place in the Assyrian written documents and in the reliefs adorning the walls of the palaces. The fact that the Arabs were the subject of Assyrian resources was related to their control of one of the important trade routes and having rich resources in terms of aramotics and camels. Assyrian kings tried to protect their interests in the Arabian Peninsula, sometimes through military expeditions and sometimes through political compromise. Although Assyria has gained superiority over Arabs through military expeditions, the geographical and climatic conditions of the region prevented Assyria from penetrating the region. Expeditions made by Assyria to the region could not go beyond extensive looting activities, as soon as the Assyrian army returned, the Arab tribes acted independently and took part in anti-Assyrian movements at the first opportunity they had. Assyrian sources contain important information about the political, economic and social life of Arabs, as well as their military and political relations between the Assyrian and Arab kingdoms. The Assyrian written documents are also the first written sources providing information about the history of Arabia. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
