I am Ashurbanipal

King Ashurbanipal of Assyria (r. 669–c. 631 BC) was the most powerful man on earth. He described himself in inscriptions as ‘king of the world’, and his reign from the city of Nineveh (now in northern Iraq) marked the high point of the Assyrian empire, which stretched from the shores of the eastern Mediterranean to the mountains of western Iran.

Sound design to enhance the historic images and places shown from the world long ago. Depicting various scenes from stills showing battles with lions to the great king himself. Subtle effects processing was applied to make the last line of the voice over other worldly, to help it stand out.
