#3  Assyrians used cuneiform, this staff looks like Arabic.

#2  Nobody translated the characters?

Supposing it translates as, "Your goose is cooked, infidel"?

How are those characters rendered in machine language, anyhow? Maybe there is a flsw in the reduction of the symobls to zeroes and ones.

#1  Lord Byron wrote this 200 years ago:
The Assyrian came down like the wolf on the fold,
And his cohorts were gleaming in purple and gold;
And the sheen of their spears was like stars on the sea,
When the blue wave rolls nightly on deep Galilee.
