I am afraid I cant answer that question, but looking at the absolute barrage of emails and responses that I got back, the question is open. Also, when people lay claim to such old myths and cultures, it is always open to interpretation. For example, look at how the Lebanese lay claim to the Phoenicians (and more interestingly, which types of lebanese lay claim on them!). I also dont need to tell you the story around the Aryan migrations. If you compare the reactions of the hindutva gang, the secular gang, the indian muslims, you can then perhaps appreciate the challenges inherent in such a formulation.
But to answer your question, everybody can lay claim on the heritage of assyrians, some more than others! :)

Interesting?
Did you get the feel that these Assyrian Christians can rightfully claim the heritage of entire Assyrian culture? Can Syrian Muslims also draw from that legacy. For legacy it was!!
