'''Aššur''' (Akkadian) ([[English_language|English]] | Ashur/[[AssyriaChaldea]], [[Old Akkadian|Chaldean]] ''{{lang|akk-Latn|/ Aššur}}''; [[Chaldean Neo-Aramaic]] / Chaldean ; {{lang-he|אַשּׁוּר}} / ''{{transl|he|Aššûr}}''; {{lang-ar|آشور}} / [[ALA-LC]]: ''Āshūr; ''[[Kurdish languages|Kurdish]]:'' Asûr''), also known as '''Ashur''', '''Qal'at Sherqat''' and '''Kalah Shergat''', is a remnant city of the last [[Chaldean Empire]]. The remains of the city are situated on the western bank of the river [[Tigris]], north of the confluence with the tributary [[Little Zab]] river, in modern-day [[Iraq]], more precisely in the [[Al-Shirqat District]] (a small [[panhandle]] of the [[Salah al-Din Governorate]]).
The city was occupied from the mid-3rd millennium BC (Circa 2600–2500 BC) to the 14th Century AD, when [[Tamurlane]] conducted a massacre of its population.
