The discovery of the Great Library of Nineveh in 1850 is one of the greatest archaeological discoveries of all time. Technically started during the reigns of earlier kings, the library reached its zenith under the reign of the Assyrian king Ashurbanipal, who attempted to acquire every known tablet and writing board of value and put them all under one roof. The library's contents were truly remarkable, and the translation of thousands of its clay cuneiform tablets have unveiled a lot about the history of the ancient world, especially that of Mesopotamia. However, the story as to why this library was built in the first place is just as equally fascinating, which is what this program will take an in-depth look at.

The fact that the Assyrians combined being a badass warrior culture with being a sophisticated culture makes them a truly awesome and fascinating civilization.
Thank you.
They were like the Borg. Absorbing all the knowledge around them while conquering everyone around them. "We are Borg. Resistance is futile."
I suppose Hitler and nazis were "badass" as well or were they not hardcore enough? They were mild compared to the Assyrians. I think torturing and raping all civilizations in your path is done by little dicked bastards and it's pathetic not badass. In a couple hundred years people will be looking up to tyrants and warlords of the 20th century.
I’m so proud that I could call myself Assyrian! I recently had my DNA checked and it came back 98.8% from Mesopotamia region. May God protect all the Assyrian people.
I had my DNA tested
And God is my Father and the Father of every Soul on earth.
@@geraldjohnson8871 Amen but if you’re be sarcastic with your comment that’s not being Christian like. By the way the Assyrians were the first civilization to accept christianity.
@@123yaddayadda J G H. No Sarcasm intended He God is the Father of All Creation Even the First
Man and every man thereafter. It is Gods Spirit that is the Breath of Life of living Souls.
That is how man can obtain Peace i.e. Shalowm.
The DNA company sold your sequence for military applications.

Lol are you gonna raise the empire too? 😆
Thank you for a thorough look at how scholars did their jobs when confronted by difficult overlords. I continue to be fascinated with your quotes from the original texts. I remember one lecture which highlighted the fact that Ashurbanipal was portrayed in a bas relief as having styluses tucked into his belt. He was telling everybody "I can both read and write."!
My pleasure, glad you found this interesting! Yes, you're right, I remember a famous wall relief of him fighting a lion with a stylus tucked into his belt. More on the way, stay tuned and safe!
The interesting part is he also said he has read Tablet from before the flood
@@HistorywithCy yes I really am thankful for people bringing the history of my people to light
@@HistorywithCy also fun fact we still speak Akkadian/aramaic for example we call a priests in the church today shamasha coming from shamash man of light essentially
As much as I love Rome I'd love to see productions on Assyrian history or other Mesopotamian civilizations.
Rome gets all the spotlight I guess because the Romans are so well documented.
Fall of Civilizations channel is amazing! Have a great journey learning history!!
Episode 13 is Assyrians.
Also the Romans were Western Europeans and their civilisation was all over the place written in stone, concrete and Latin. An easy jump for medieval Italian, French, and English scholars.
All we knew about Assyria was gleaned from the Old Testament.
I read a book about the ancient near east wich says that, ironically, because of the durability of clay tablets over papyrus and parchment, we actually have more writen documentation about mesopotamia that about egypt, greece and rome. I can't say if this is enterely true but we must take into account that many classical works were lost after the fall of rome, and even more would have been lost if muslim and byzantine scholars had not preserved a good deal of these texts.
Rome secretly sent scribes to copy information from the Library of Alexandria, then burned it. So, Rome is only great from theft. I would not be surprised if the Library of Ashurbanipal met the same fate.
Love that you're in full production mode lately, you've hit a really good stride and your content is consistently great!
Thanks my friend, trying to do my best to put out stuff for you all as often as possible. Stay tuned and thanks so much for watching, really appreciate the support!
My homeland, Assyria
great video as always! The history of this ancient empire is still underestimated, thanks 👌
Thanks for watching and I agree, there is so much more to cover... will do more on Assyria in 2022!
@@HistorywithCy Great! Best regards
I often find myself re-watching your videos, and this will no doubt be one of them. Amazing content, thank you!
Thanks, comments like this make my day! Lot's more on the way, hopefully you'll like it as much as this one! Thanks again and stay safe!
This functions as an incredible supplement to Fall of Civilizations' epic episode about the Assyrians. Truly a joy to hear you speak about the documents, from where they came, and to see the tablets themselves.
Thanks, glad you liked this honored to be in the same sentence as Fall of Civilizations... Paul is one of the best at what he does! More on Assyria on the way, stay tuned and safe!
This gives historical context to the modern idea : Knowledge is Power. Those who crave power have long known this fact.
Yes, it does and agreed...thanks for watching!
Yes you're dead right. Its much easier to control an uneducated population.
@@rafrokid79 Certainly. Easier yet to control an indoctrinated populace. In the time of Ashurbanipal very few people could read. Then anyone who could read was considered educated. For the masses, the official narrative could be dictated from the seat of power.
Now, almost everyone knows how to read, but few are truly educated. Now the masses of marginally literate people can be indoctrinated through various means, and by a number centers of power: government, private business interests, religious institutions, and/or a combination of these. Now anyone who can access the internet, and can read at an eighth grade level can accumulate a vast amount of information. Yet without the requisite tools of critical thinking and an understanding of the scientific method, much of that information may not be of any use, and many folks end up believing myths and legends after all.
@@russellmillar7132 the reign of uneducated and indoctrinated masses continued pretty much up to a few hundred years ago as you know. I completely agree that in these days of near limitless access to information (both true and untrue information) we now have masses of people who have not the mechanics of mind to effectively process data.
I do still believe that this is better than the previous alternative (although I may yet be proven wrong in my thesis)!
In my humble opinion the key is to teach children how to use the scientific method in one's everyday life. And you don't even have to have a high IQ to do this.
Ancient aliens and grayham hancock would not be able to make a living if everyone understood this!
@@russellmillar7132 I agree with you and Nick Anderson.
I live in Europe where logical thinking has largely replaced religion but America worries me, because the schools are often controlled by fundamentalist Christians who promote belief over logic, so many Americans grow up unable to tell the difference between reality and conspiracy theories.
Providing an education about world history that almost no one in the West has had until you came along. Thank You, Cy!
If knowledge is power then we Assyrians built the throne.
Wonderful & insightful video once again Cy!
Assyrians got their knowledge from the Chaldeans/babylonians
@Yousif Boti the Chaldeans were Babylonian, they are synonymous. Don’t forget Abraham was from ur of chaldees before the name Assyrian was created
@@danceformeboyy9814bro.. it’s been PROVEN archeologically that Chaldean’s branched FROM the Assyrians. Meaning Assyrians came first. It’s been proven brother.
@@danceformeboyy9814and no, Abraham was Sumerian he was born near where the city of Assur would be.
@@danceformeboyy9814bro all you need to do is research bro. It’s a well known fact that Chaldeans aren’t the original yous are just Assyrians with an identity crisis.
Thank you for these videos! I would love a Playlist created according to a chronological timeline- from the oldest.
I love your voice and how easy you make it to understand....
Thanks!
Wow this is the first time I’ve seen the real Cy! So handsome! Another great video. I happen to be in London and I popped in to the British Museum. The Assyrian reliefs are just amazing!
Haha thanks, glad you liked the video! Oh yes, the British Museum in my opinion is the best for ancient Near Eastern artifacts, especially Assyrian and Neo-Babylonian artifacts. Louve is great for Old Babylonian period stuff (like the stela of Hammurabi and the "man from Larsa" statue. Enjoy your trip and be safe!
Beyond our world.
Thanks a lot for the great video! It's difficult to overestimate the power of the knowledge and such videos make it even more exciting!
I really loved this episode! I love libraries, and I love the Assyrians, so yay! Thanks for another awesome video!
I too am obsessed with libraries...I visited the Harvard Library a few years ago and was blown away but all the resources they had. I can only imagine that others such as at Oxfored or Cambridge must be even more impressive and I hope to visit them one day. Thanks for watching, more on the way, stay tuned!
I am an Assyrian saying to you thank you so much.
❤️❤️
Honestly, I think your channel might be the single best history Channel on TH-cam, at least in regards to the empires you have so far covered.
Thanks my friend, really appreciate the kind words! I have some surprise civilizations coming up in 2022, stay tuned and safe!
So basically we owe a huge amount of what we know about Assyria to the fact that Ashurbanipal was a huge nerd
The greatest library in the world was Assurbanibal,s library ful of thousands of cuneiforms and tablets .
Great work Cy. Keep em coming! 👌
Thank you Cy
I am a big fan of your contents and Assyrian history. Hope you know you have a fan in Seoul, korea. Please keep it up !!👍
Thank you, so great to hear from you! I've heard so many great things about Seoul and hope to visit one day! More on the way, stay tuned and safe!
Watched the video when you posted it just wanted to say congratulations on 100,000 subs and thanks for the great content.
I'm a bit late on this video, but it's another really amazing focused episode on one of my favourite archaeological topics! Well done Cy
Great video! Congrats on 💯K subscribers as well!
Thank you for presenting the history of Mesopotamia-Akkadia-Babylon-Assyria in such detail. I learned the importance of the pursuit of knowledge.
I am from India, I use Beniwal surname, our elders say that we have come from Persia (Iran), this is a corrupt name of Banipal. We consider Ashhur Banipal as our ancestor. Share would be great.
@@dalujasnathiHe is not your ancestor. He wasn’t Iranian he was Assyrian like me. If you’re not Assyrian then have ZERO relation to Ashur banipal and our culture.
@@Threefour_opennanoor but surname is same
@@dalujasnathi that doesn’t mean you’re related to him. You’re Indian. Only Assyrians are direct descendants of Ashur. You just happen to have a similar name.
@@dalujasnathi I don’t know who told you that you he’s your ancestor but he’s wrong and it makes no sense. Indians and Assyrians have zero DNA relation, and I have done DNA tests/genetic genealogy and it states clearly 98% Mesopotamian DNA which is the closest relation to ancient Assyrians/Sumerians/Akkadians. Ashur is the ancestor of Assyrians and I need you and everyone else to stop claiming my culture. It’s very offensive.
Wonderful video, thanks for posting G!
Thanks my man, so glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you very much for cover undermentioned libraries like of Nineveh. I get that they are not brought up a lot because they haven't contributed much to modern day like science unlike those that were established in the classical era. Regardless, I think this is still crucial to learn more about evolution of human thought over the centuries.
in addition Nineveh's existence points to the Bible being 100% true, and they can't have that
Love your videos. Thank you for the hard work you do!
Thank YOU for watching, this channel would be nothing without you all!

Excellent video. Subscribed.
I was looking for something substantial on Ashurbanipal's library and I sure found it!
Thanks and welcome! This was one of my favorite videos to research, glad you enjoyed it. More on the way, stay tuned!
Thank you for another video, Cy. Given the accuracy of many Sumerian/Babylonian/Assyrian astromical tablets, I'm thinking these divination text might have something to them.
Yeah perhaps... they're always fascinating to read and I'll try to share more with you in the near future, stay tuned and thanks for watching!
A superb summary of the later Assyrian era with enlightening use of quotations ❤👍🏾🎶
That was very cool knowledge to add to my ever expanding array of ancient history!! Thank you ❤😊
My pleasure, thank you for watching!
When I think of the Assyrians and the Assyrian state I think of Cy who has gifted me most of my knowledge of such.

Amazing as always. thank you
Great episode, Cy!
Thanks my friend, glad you enjoyed it!
Very interesting that a cruel king of the 6. century B.C. was eager to learn science and literature of all kind and collected it in the first great library of his time. Who can imagine how many treasures and information got lost in the sand of time! Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Are there any approximations or hypothetical figures of Assyrian texts or tablets that may have been lost over the last 5 years due to Mosul and thus the area of Nineveh being occupied by ISIS? Or were the majority of discoveries that could be discovered and artifacts that could be found exported out of the area?
I always find the relationship of ancient diviners and secular rulers interesting. It makes me wonder if some of the techniques were legit and allowed to tell when something like rain or a flood would occur, and if that helped to lend credit to the more mystical stuff, like looking at a goat's liver to predict the movements of enemy armies
I bet early early on the first people to codify and secret the ability to predict seasons, especially for farming, had lots of influence.
what if we did talk with "the way that moves the earth?" or "God"? i dont think its farfetched because the ancients new about it but maybe it goes back even further(of course it does, this is 700bc) what if these diviners are relics of the past and weve lost the knowledge?
Even today we can’t predict rain or flooding very much in advance. We knew about the basic seasons in prehistory but we couldn’t possibly have accurately predicted heavy rain or flooding.
I don’t think that rulers were all that secular back then. I am an atheist because of what we actually know to be true today, but if I had been born before about 1800 ad I probably would have accepted whatever religion was around me. After all, we knew no better then.
Well, if a bird, for instance, had entrails that looked “sickly” or “off”, that can possibly predict famines due to pests and disease. Also, headaches and other ills can be attributed to low air pressure - it can even screw with mental health - and which usually comes before a storm, whether it be mild or heavy, making it predictable. People in antiquity used their senses a lot more than we do, now that we can depend on tech. They were more in touch with the world, it wouldn’t surprise me if they could predict say, 50-70% of natural disasters with their senses alone. Only they used esoteric language to describe the how’s and why’s, and that usually makes moderns shake their heads and refuse to lend them any credence.
Well done, Cy!
Thank you, appreciate it!
Thanks are lots Ashu for this video
Thanks for watching, appreciate it!
Ashurbanipal: “Knowledge!”
I'm here in my stable with my favorite chariot teams. They're great, but do you know what I love more than those?
Of course the greatest library in the world was Assurbanipal's library ful of thousands tablets and cuneiforms with all types of knowledge and science. Very educated Assyrian king.
So interesting ❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️ Thank you for the video 💛
No idea why some scholars say he was illiterate- I guess one person says something, and a whole bunch of other people just go along with it. As a side note: Archaic Word List C, etc. Could they have been part of his study in reading 'tablets from before the flood'?
Nice one again.
Thanks
Thanks man, appreciate it! I have a Elamite project for 2022 on the way that I know you'll be interested in, stay tuned and safe!

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome video!!!
Thank you!
Great man of Ashur.. cheers Cy.
Haha I knew you'd be interested in this one. Thanks for watching, really appreciate it! More on the way, stay tuned and safe!
@@HistorywithCy definitely can do part 2 about the library
5:08
Fun fact: it is said that Hitler and the third Reich also pursued this strategy throughout most of the reich’s timeline. Using dark rituals along with science to perform and experiment on captives to keep power and win the war…..
Certain regimes still do this to this day.
Yeah true. When I was young I thought that was just something made up for the Indiana Jones movies, but later on I found out that there was some truth to it. Thanks for watching, really appreciate it! More on the way, stay tuned!
Another banger Cy!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed this! More on the way, stay tuned and safe!
Thanks again for the great video. We all love great libraries, but Ashurbanipal! The first great library.... still partially intact. Think of all the possible information that could be found there in. Do you know where most of the tablets have been stored? Too bad cuneiform is so difficult to learn. Maybe some genius will write a computer program that can translate cuneiform.
My pleasure and glad you enjoyed this! The vast majority of such tablets are in the British Museum or facilities associated with it. There is an attempt to use AI to transform cuneiform, though I'm not sure how far they've come. I think it's as good as say, google translate because many of the signs are so difficult to read that translators often have to use different combinations of possible words to get the correct meaning and context.
Most Excellent!
Thank you!
I send greetings to you from Mesopotamia ❤
You are unstoppable!
Thank you and thank you.
You're welcome and you're welcome!
wow this was really good
Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed it!
That was extremely interesting. I would love to hear more original divination textxs and maybe practices, if there arw sources for that. Thank you Cy, and take care!
Thanks for watching and for sure, I'll do other videos and read some divination texts from then when I can. In the meantime, checkout the link in the video description, "Sources and Suggested Reading." The quotes come from those books, especially "A Companion to Assyria" by Frahm. Let me know if you need anything else!
Good work
Thank you!
Fascinating!
Thank you!
It's a good day when Cy uploads.
Thanks, glad you enjoy these! More on the way, stay tuned!
Definitely ancient Sumerian history and mythology fascinating. Thanks to Ashurbanipal, today we know about the Anunnaki and the ancient stories about them described by the Sumerians. Though the amazing library of Ashurbanipal which contained knowledge from all over the world was burnt down, the records of the ancient Sumerians survived. But how so? Well, actually, thanks to the cuneiform tablets being on clay in the fire, they were actually baked and preserved intact until their discovery. However, the more interesting fact is that many of the stories described in these tablets relating to the religion and beliefs of the ancient Sumerians in the Anunnaki came from the planet Nibiru , who appear to be deities of the Sumerians are contained in the Bible and the Pentateuch of the Torah, which is the original source of the Old Testament. Only the names of the characters are different. So the question follows , were biblical accounts copied from ancient Sumerian history?
This we can ask today thanks to the Sumerian, Ashurbanipal and some of the earliest written records surviving in his personal library.
In 671 B.C.E. King Ashurbanipal and the Assyrian military invaded Egypt, defeating the Kushites and ending the 25th Dynasty of Ancient Egypt. They sacked the City of Waset (Called "Thebes" by the Greeks) and its great temples and libraries. They carted off the books (papyrus scrolls) to Assyria and that is how King Ashurbanipal developed the library in Assyria.
I am from India, I use Beniwal surname, our elders say that we have come from Persia (Iran), this is a corrupt name of Banipal. We consider Ashhur Banipal as our ancestor. Share would be great.
Not enough people know about this. Thank you
Loved the todd Howard quote in the ad
Haha oh really? Didn't know I used one but thanks! And thanks for watching, really appreciate it!
I have always been fascinated by the Assyrian civilization and their advancement in every way our society. If you have more about the Assyrians, please let us know.
Nineveh was the city Jonah was told, by God, to go witness too. He hated them and refused and that's how he ended up being swallowed by a great fish. Eventually Nineveh's king repented along with the city and they were spared for 100 more years. (For the doubters there are a few modern accounts of people being found alive in big fish.)
Do you believe this myth story, 🤣🤣🤣
The Ninevites were very violent men according to the book of Jonah in the bible. They were declared wicked by GOD.
this added history makes since...they consulted in divination, spiritism, astrology and Idolatry.
Herod tried to use this same tactic, astrology 🌟 to kill Jesus according to Matthew 2. (These astrologer followed a star 🌟 that lead them to Jesus. God interfered with Herod's curse; But the astrologers brought gifts instead.
Divination, Astrology, spiritism and Idolatry: Matthew 4:1-11)
Thanks for this History! 📖☺️
And we should believe what is written in the Book of Jonah because....? After all, same book has its main character stay three days in the belly of a whale before being vomited up on a beach, a claim that is dubious at best. The Neo-Assyrian empire conquered Israel, as they did with most of the descendants of ancient Canaanites. The writer of the Book of Jonah clearly intended to convey some religious ideas, including how a city like Nineveh could repent.
As an Assyrian I want to say thank you for this.
My pleasure, glad you liked it and thanks for watching! More on the history of ancient Assyria on the way, stay tuned!
It's really interesting what texts they were interested in. They took divination very seriously.
It's interesting that right around 800 bc, the time of Jonah, is when divination became such a focus..
Amazing video. Thank you for great education.
KHYA ATOUR!
My pleasure, thank you for watching, really appreciate it!
In the library of Ashur Banipal Library, they discovered over 33,000 tablets of great information and one among many interesting tablets was the Epic of Gilgamesh, the first-ever writing epic. The 5 books of the Old Testament written by Moses were a copycat from the Epic of Gilgamesh although the latter Assyrian version has a more related story in wider detail.
I think it’s the other way around, and Gilgamesh is copied from the ancient Hebraic oral traditions. References to settlements considerably older than the biblical scrolls contained in the biblical books supports its greater age.
Very nice.
Thank you!
fantastic!
Thank you, appreciate it!
Is there a App that can read the tablets.
I often think of the the bodies and heads on spikes in front of the entrance. People had a reason to fear them.
Somehow I really doubt the claims of an ancient king "to solve all problems that have nos solution"
Yeah I think it was more hyperbole than anything else. Thanks for watching, really appreciate it and stay tuned for more!
It’s crazy how we look at this video and read these book like we know where there trying to till us
To think that his library also held papyrus scrolls and wax tablets is very sad.Different from clay tablets they could not survive the burning of the building.
Who knows if other kings chronicles were archived there.So much information was lost .
Hey, thanks for stopping by and watching, really appreciate it! Papyrus and wax tablets I'm not sure about, but I know that they had what they called "writing boardds" which were made out of wood. I wouldn't be surprised though if they had some papyri since Egypt at the time was also part of the Neo-Assyrian empire during the reigns of Esarhaddon and Ashurbanipal. Definitely agree with you that a lot of information was indeed lost!
Is this suppose to be the part 3 of Levantine Wars ??
I suggest viewers watch videos by Dr Irving Finkel from the British Museum on these tablets from Nineveh. Well worth your time.
Very cool people, kicked ass in good and bad ❤
The Library was intended to last for the ages. It succeeded.
haha yes, in a way it did, lucky for us today! Thanks for watching, really appreciate it!
Shlamalokhon!
Any other ASSYRIANS here?
Song at 11:38? @history with cy
It was thought by scholars that Ninevah was was only myth until archeologists found these artifacts.
We consult our own oracles in the modern day. Our economists and social scientists posture themselves as would-be prophets and the media plays into that. Yet somehow, with all our sophistication, we still can't predict the future as well as we'd like to believe we can.
My opinion those books was saved by the Roman catholic church ⛪ and never lost . They got it all , just hid away from the world .
Shamash is actually the sun in Aries specifically and related to Mars and Prometheus. Mars is the central spirit here and its importance in military and imperialism is essential to understand of this archetype. Mars is often depicted as a lion headed man or male lions. Sometimes with snakes. This spirit which is known as the spirit of violence and the gatekeeper of the underworld like Nergal is the monotheistic god from cultures like Cuthites Gutians Elamites ammonites kassites which later are related to Gothic and Celtic cultures. This spirit has many names like Adad Khnum Typhon Hades Nergal etc. He is also related to the golden eagle, Ram, wolf and probably the Egyptian falcon gods. He is actually a representation of the intellect and his element is fire. He is also the firstborn like Aries. He is dry and barren and needs water.
Given that the Neo Assyrian city of Nineveh was located in Iraq, near Mosul, what’re your thoughts about the British London Museum having possession of its artifacts?
Seeing the ancient Babylonian artifact w/ a Sumerian hymn chiseled into a tablet, in my own state of New York, knowing it comes from present day Iraq, near Syria makes me think, perhaps its not ours to keep.
Not as much as you'd think. British acquired a lot of things in the early years of archaeology. Also with ISIS I'm glad the brits have some of that stuff lol. Too unstable in many of these nations
@@FutureBoyWonder yes, if they could be kept safe in the country they come from, they should be. unfortunately too many places are too unstable or simply too poor to be able to properly protect and preserve ancient artifacts.
D Shepherd, and it certainly DOES NOT belong to the people who are ruling the Middle East at this present time. The Assyrian reliefs are being smashed and sold at a wholesale price. Just leave them in the world museum until the Assyrian bereaved people reach their ultimate independence and then they can ask for their returns.
Will the British Museum be paying the late return fees?
Those were the days when tablet makers did not need to worry about patent infringement lawsuits.
Great DISCUSSION On ANCIENT DETAILS👓🤓👓BUT❣️❣️READING Should BE AN PLEASURE Not An CHORE❣️🧠❣️☃️☃️
These are all Persian Kings with familiar Ancient Persian NAMES you’re speaking of
My Grandmother’s name is :Salareh Tajelmoluk…Marokhsar…and Talatmoluk and Ghamarzaman… old Persian names
5:45 I might have misinterpreted what you meant, but still: Sargon 2 and Senaherib lived in the late 8th - early 7th century bc, not late 6th - early 5th. By that time Assyrian empire was a hazy dream.
Great bid, nonetheless. The more content on Assyria there is, the better)
Hi, thanks for the comment... I don't remember exactly what I said, but it if so it's a misspeak and error on my part. Thanks for correcting it! Yes, by 610 BC (7th century BC), the Neo-Assyrian Empire was officially gone. I'll do more on Assyria in the near future but the next video on Babylonia will also have a lot to do with Assyria as well, stay tuned and thanks for watching!
Looking at Our people & smiling... We are Blessed that God left US in Stone, so the Europeans could find & continue to study US... it will help them get closer to God & his Humanity! 🙏🏿🤴🏾👸🏾
HOLD UP!! 16:39. Before the flood!? What flood?... damn I hope he's not talking about "The Flood"?! Can't be.
I need more info from that tablet on that from modern scholars, to be released cause I'm sure they know!!
*History with Cy* I need you to look into this man! Now you got me wondering!!
When libraries burns empires fall, when have u been to libraries
