They surely didn't "disappear", they just mixed with other cultures.
Assyrians are still present as a people as far as I know. Most of them are Christians nowadays, belonging mostly to the Chaldean Catholic Church and Syriac Orthodox Church. | | | |

Many Assyrians in Sweden. Sadly after the US invasion of Iraq, Christians arent really safe there anymore. They are so many of them over here that they have made their own football teams which are now playing in the top divisions of the Swedish football league | | | |
