Around 1000 B.C. migrations and the introduction of iron resulted in further changes. Later, in the eighth century B.C., the area was ruled by the Assyrians, who settled primarily in the upper Tigris region. To our knowl­edge, they did not add anything new to the culture. A century later the Assyrian empire was shared by the Chaldeans and the Medes, the latter being close racially to the Persians further east. This period in Mesopotamian history (7th cent. B.C.) is often referred to as Chaldean. The Near East was conquered by the Persians under Cyrus about 540 B.C. Persian mathema­ticians such as Nabu-rimanni (c. 490 B.C.) and Kidinu (c. 480 B.C.) became known to the Greeks.
