Ashurnasirpal showed how he cut of the heads of 260 rebelling soldiers and piled it together. Their leader named Bubu suffered horrific punishment. He was flayed and his skin was placed in the walls of Arbail. In the city of Suri, rebelling nobles were also skinned and were displayed like trophies. Some skin were left to rot but some were placed in a stake. Officials of the city suffered decapitation of their limbs. The leader of the Suri rebellion, Ahiyababa, underwent flaying and his skin was then placed in the walls of Niniveh. After Ashurnasirpal defeated the city of Tila, he ordered to cut the hands and feet of the soldiers of the fallen city. Other than that, some soldiers found themselves without noses and ears. But also, many defeated soldiers had their eyes gouged out. The heads of the leaders of the Tila were hang in the trees around the city.
Who in the hell wrote that? The grammar is atrocious.

What I want to know is, although their torture sounds horrific, did they wipe out entire races of people like the Mongols?
Yes, in fact that was a relativity "common" thing for conquering peoples to do

Can't forget about the Romans either. Waged countless wars to expand the empire, crucified many people, and had an entire structure dedicated to public executions and bloodsport that could hold thousands of spectators.

I'm watching a course about the Maya's and Aztecs on Great Courses on Amazon. It' pretty interesting I think 48 lectures. The baw teaching it is from a Texas University. He gets bonus points because, he said straight up in the first episode he wouldn't be using that BCE, and CE crap. BC and AD for him.

Not too sure about that. The Romans came in and conquered, but generally allowed local customs and practices to continue. As long as you didn't start trouble with insurgencies or rebellions, you were pretty much fine. Most peoples under the empire preferred to be under the empire than their previous government/kingdoms. The Romans went after the Jews and the Celts because those groups kept rebelling. The only reason a handful of emperors executed Christians was because Christians refused to acknowledge the deified representations of the Empire in the form of statues of previous emperors. Kind of like kneeling during the national anthem, except the consequences were a lot worse. As far as they were concerned that was treasonous activity. Otherwise, though, they don't call it the "Pax Romana" for no reason. Rome generally brought peace, commerce, stability, technology, and access to a wider world.

The Aztecs
There's a really good four part History on Fire podcast series about the Spanish conquest of the Aztec empire. It's crazy how much human sacrifice and cabalism the Aztec's were involved in. They got what they deserved.

Lol after 3x listening to it. This is really the sole source of my knowledge of the Mongols.
