These testimonies were scanty and confused for times predating the 7th century BCE. Had the native history of Berossus survived, this may not have been the case all that is known of the Chaldaean historian s work, however, is derived from quotations in Josephus , Ptolemy , Chronicon Eusebius Eusebius , Chronicon Jerome Jerome and George Syncellus . Classical Greece The account of Babylon given by Herodotus is not that of an eye witness and not very extensive. In his Histories he mentions that he will devote a whole section to the history of Assyria, but this promise was unfulfilled, or perhaps the book has been lost. Herodotus opinions are disputed by Ctesias , who, however, has mistaken mythology for history, and Greek romance owed to him its Ninus and Semiramis , its Ninyas and Sardanapalus . Xenophon s account in the Anabasis Xenophon Anabasis gives information on the Achaemenid Empire of his time. Hellenistic era Berossus The authenticity of his list of 10 antediluvian kings who reigned for 120 sari or 432,000 years, has been partially confirmed by the inscriptions but his 8 postdiluvian dynasties are difficult to reconcile with the monuments, and the numbers associated with them are probably corrupt.

It has been alleged that the British used gas in Mesopotamia in 1920 , during the Iraqi revolt against the British Iraqi revolt Ath Thawra al Iraqiyya al Kubra , in the period of the British Mandate of Mesopotamia British Mandate . It is clear that the use of tear gas was considered, as a War Office minute of 12 May 1919 shows, in which Winston Churchill argued blockquote I do not understand this squeamishness about the use of gas. We have definitely adopted the position at the Peace Conference of arguing in favour of the retention of gas as a permanent method of warfare. It is sheer affectation to lacerate a man with the poisonous fragment of a bursting shell and to boggle at making his eyes water by means of Lachrymatory agent lachrymatory gas . I am strongly in favour of using poisoned gas against uncivilised tribes. The moral effect should be so good that the loss of life should be reduced to a minimum. It is not necessary to use only the most deadly gasses gasses can be used which cause great inconvenience and would spread a lively terror and yet would leave no serious permanent effects on most of those affected. ref Martin Gilbert , Winston S. Churchill , London Heinemann, 1976 , companion volume 4, part 1 ref blockquote There is however little evidence that this actually took place, or that use of lethal gas was used or even considered.
