It is akin to the old SQ/QS matrix 4 channel sound of old.

The correct question should be 'What WHERE the capitals of Assyria?'
Following is the quote from my Encyclopedia Americana:

"The original capital of the country, to which it owes its name, was Ashur
(Asshur), modern Qalat Sharqat, on the western bank of the Tigris above
the mouth of the Little Zab.  About 60 miles (97 km) to the north lay
Nineveh (modern Kuyunjik), which was founded long before Ashur and became
the capital of the later empire.  Between them lay Calah (modern Nimrud),
which was the capital of the empire during part of the 9th and 8th centuries
B.C., and northeast of Nineveh was Dur Sharrukin (modern Khorsabad), the
capital during the reign of Sargon II (721-705 B.C.).  The most important
secondary cities were Arbela (modern Erbil or Arbil), southwest of Nineveh,
and Haran, the principal center of late Assyrian power in western Mespopotamia
and the last capital of Assyria (after the fall of Nineveh in 612 B.C.)."

I don't know if your question was a lark or not, but there it is! :-)
