The Assyrian flag’s central emblem is the Shamash symbol, representing the Mesopotamian sun god Shamash (Utu), a symbol found in Mesopotamian art as early as 2900–2350 BCE. The golden sun and four-pointed star symbolize life, light, justice, and the Assyrian homeland. The red, white, and blue wavy stripes represent the Tigris, Euphrates, and Great Zab rivers, symbolizing courage, peace, abundance, and the enduring connection of the Assyrian people to their ancestral homeland.
