Editorial Standards

Life of Assyrian is independent and not affiliated with any government, party, or church. We report contested historiography as contested — we don't pick a side for readability.

  • 01
    Named, checkable sources

    Every figure links to a primary document, academic source, or established reference.

  • 02
    Contested claims stay contested

    Where historians disagree, the disagreement is reported, not resolved for you.

  • 03
    Public corrections log

    Errors are fixed in place and logged with a timestamp.

  • 04
    Bylines on everything

    Every piece is attributed to a named contributor, not an anonymous desk.
