Full Description

The Urartians, who established a state in the mountainous region of Anatolia beyond the Euphrates in the 1st millennium BC, left their mark with numerous firsts in the region. Their capital, Tušpa (Tushpa), became the initial site where these innovations took place. From the first inscriptions to monumental architectural works and royal tombs, this book will allow you to explore the character of an Iron Age capital in the East.
