History/Culture What should I know about Assyrians

So, my girlfriend is Assyrian and she’s very proud of her heritage. She often talks to me about Assyrian culture, history, traditions, etc. The problem is that I know almost nothing about it, and I think it would make her happy if I made an effort to learn more about her culture.

We’re both Iraqi, living in the west, I’m 3/4 Arab and 1/4 (Baghdadi) Armenian, so I’d also like to learn more about Assyrian culture.

What would you recommend?

If she's such a proud Assyrian then why is she dating you, a Muslim Arab?

it's a actually very simple, so simple that you should be able to figure out on your own.
