Assyria, Mesopotamia, Chaldea, Syria on one of the most magnificient and accurate map of the XV's century:
Frau Mauro's map (1450).
About this map (From Wikipedia):
The map is very large - the full frame measures 2,4 by 2,4 meters. This makes Fra Mauro's mappa mundi the world?s largest extant map from early modern Europe.
The main circular map of the world is surrounded by four smaller spheres:
The top left sphere is a cosmological diagram - a map of the solar system according to the Ptolemaic system.
The top right is a diagram of the four elements - earth is followed by water, fire and air.
The bottom left is an illustration of the Garden of Eden. Significantly, Fra Mauro took the step of placing the Garden of Eden outside the world, rather than in its traditional place in the extreme east.
The bottom right depicts the Earth as a globe. It shows the North pole, the South pole as well as the Equator and the two tropics.
the Fra Mauro map had an accuracy of about 86-92% of the real value when it comes to the circumference of the earth.
The sources for the map was existing maps, charts and manuscripts which were combined with written and oral accounts of travelers. The text on the map mentions many of these travel accounts.
Note that we Assyrians also drew some map, listing our historical cities: Syriac Map of the 15 century
Note also that both this map and Frau Mauro's map place the south at the top.

Assyrian policies: The Assyrian Policies are life insurance policies that: (i) were issued by New York Life Insurance Company some time after 1882
The Assyrian policies
The Assyrian Policies are life insurance policies that: (i) were issued by New York Life Insurance Company some time after 1882, (ii) insured the life of a person of Assyrian ancestry living in the Ottoman Empire, (iii) were in effect after 1914, and (iv) have not been paid in any form, including payment of death benefits, surrender values, cash values, or endowments.
The Assyrian Life Insurance Policy Program is a program created by New York Life Insurance Company to encourage claims for benefits under certain life insurance policies issued beginning in 1882 in the Turkish Ottoman Empire insuring the lives of persons of Assyrian ancestry (the "Assyrian Policies").
Very very interesting, the jobs (Officials, Banker, Student, Doctor) of these Assyrians and the cities where they were from (Jerusalem, Dyarbakir, Constantinople, Baghdad etc...)

Just discovered that the Syriac Orthodox Church had a patriarch named: Ignatius IV Philoxenus Nemrod (1283-1292).

Another interesting thing, around the same period, there was a syriac orthodox priest,named "Nebuchadnezzar" who owned a psalter (psalms book) (which is now the manuscripts SINA? SYR. 43 + VATICAN SYR. 647, FF. 24-26).
Source: L??TONNANT DESTIN D?UN PSAUTIER JACOBITE DU XIIIE SI?CLE, page 56.
Nebuchadnezzar was the son of the priest Simon son of the priest Isho from Qal'a Romayta (a village located on the west bank of the Euphrate).
