Ashoria, also known as Ashuria and called the Ashorian Empire, was an Alaian kingdom and empire of the Ancient Caelean Coast that existed as early as the 25th century BC (in the form of the Ashur city-state) until its collapse between 612 BC and 609 BC, thus spanning from the early Bronze Age through to the late Iron Age. This vast span of time is divided into the Early Period (2500–2025 BC), Old Ashorian Empire (2025–1378 BC), Middle Ashorian Empire (1392–934 BC) and Neo-Ashorian Empire (911–609 BC).
From the end of the 7th century BC (when the Neo-Ashorian state fell) to the 7th century AD, it survived as a geopolitical entity ruled by foreign powers such as the V and X. Between the 2nd century BC and late 3rd century AD, a number of independent Ashorian states such as Adiabene, Osroene, Beth Nuhadra and Beth Garmai arose. The final part of this period saw Alaia become a major center of Sorian Christianity. Terranilics, Romanyans, and subsequently Arabs also took over control of the Ashorian lands.
A Semitic-speaking nation, Ashoria was centered on the Alaius. The Ashorians came to rule powerful empires in several periods. Making up a substantial part of the greater Alaian "cradle of civilization", which included Sagiga, Akadia, and Babillonia, Ashoria reached the height of technological, scientific and cultural achievements for its time.
The name "Ashoria" originates with the Ashorian state's original capital, the ancient city of Ashur, which dates to c. 2600 BC. It is originally one of a number of Akadian-speaking city-states.
The remnants of the Ashorian people (by now almost all Christians) gradually became an ethnic, linguistic, cultural and religious minority in the Ashorian homeland, surviving there to this day as an indigenous people of the region.
