Jacquetta Hawkes, "The First Great Civilizations," London, 1967
"Yet the Hurrians did not disappear from history. Away to the North in their Armenian homeland, they entrenched themselves and build up the kingdom of Urartu."
M. Chahin, "The Kingdom of Armenia," London, 2001
"The new kingdom of Urartu, which proved to be the stronghold of the Hurrian race."
Greater Armenia lies in the highlands surrounding Mount Ararat, the highest peak of the region. In the Bronze Age, several states flourished in the area of Greater Armenia, including the Hittite Empire (at the height of its power), Mitanni (South-Western historical Armenia), and Hayasa-Azzi (1600-1200 BC). Soon after the Hayasa-Azzi were the Nairi (1400-1000 BC) and the Kingdom of Urartu (1000-600 BC), who successively established their sovereignty over the Armenian Highland. Each of the aforementioned nations and tribes participated in the ethnogenesis of the Armenian people.
I. Geography.
'araraT (Sumerian Ar, "region," plus ar "high," plus Tu, "mountain," plus "high mountainous region"): in Assyrian, UrTu, UrarTu, UrasTu: in AEgyp, Ermenen (= "Region of the Minni") Wiener, Origin of the Pentateuch, Armina, Armaniyqa (Armenia): in Hecataeus of Miletus, circa 520 BC, the people are Armenioi (Gen 8:4; 2 Ki 19:37; Isa 37:38; Jer 51:27). Throughout the Bible, this is a country, not a mountain. Armenia Major was bounded on the North by the River Cyrus (Kour), Iberia, Colchis, and the Moschici Mts.; on the West by Asia Minor and the Euphrates; on the South by Mesopotamia and Assyria; on the East by the Caspian and Media. (Armenia Minor lay between the Euphrates and the Halys.) Ararat was originally the name of the central district. Most of Armenia is between 8,000 and 3,000 feet above sea-level, and slopes toward Euphrates, Cyrus, and the Gaspian. Mt. Massis (generally called Greater Ararat) is 16,969 ft. and Lesser Ararat, 12,840 ft. Both are of igneous origin, as is Aragds (A`la Goz), 13,436 ft. Sulphur springs and earthquakes still attest volcanic activity. The largest rivers are the Euphrates, Tigris and Araxes. The latter, swift and famed for violent floods, joins the Cyrus, which falls into the Caspian. The lakes Van, Urmi and Sevan are veritable inland seas. The many mountain chains, impassable torrents and large streams divide the country into districts far less accessible from one another than from foreign lands. Hence, invasions are easy and national union difficult. This has sadly affected the history of Armenia. Xenophon (Anab. iv.5) describes the people as living in houses partly underground, such as are still found. Each village was ruled by its chief according to ancient customary laws. He well describes the severity of the winters. In summer the climate in some places is like that of Italy or Spain. Much of Armenia is extremely fertile, producing large herds of horses and cattle, abundant crops of cereals, olives and fruit. It is rich in minerals, and is probably the home of the rose and the vine.

The Sumerians, an ancient peoples and one of the first civilizations in the world called Ararat, Arrata. In their great epic poems of Gilgamesh and Arrata, they tell of the land of their ancestors, the Arratans in the Highlands of Armenia. The Sumerians also in the epic poems describe the Great Flood and the rebirth of life after the terrible deluge that fell from the Highlands of Armenia unto the lands of Mesopotamia and the Fertile Crescent. The Sumerians had a very close connection with the ancestral Land of Ararat and considered it as their ancestral homeland.
Many historians and archaeologists are convinced that the Sumerians initially lived in Northern Mesopotamia and Armenian Highland.
The epic of Gilgamesh: the Babylonian epic poem and other texts in Akkadian by Andrew George
The similarity of the name Hayasa to the endonym of the Armenians, Hayk or Hay and the Armenian name for Armenia, Hayastan has prompted the suggestion that the Hayasa-Azzi confereration was involved in the Armenian ethnogenesis. The term Hayastan bears resemblance to the ancient Mesopotamian god Haya (ha-ià) and another western deity called Ebla Hayya, related to the god Ea (Enki or Enkil in Sumerian, Ea in Akkadian and Babylonian). Thus, the Great Soviet Encyclopedia of 1962 posited that the Armenians derive from a migration of Hayasa into Shupria in the 12th century BC. This is open to objection due to the possibility of a mere coincidental similarity between the two names and the lack of geographic overlap, although Hayasa (the region) became known as Lesser Armenia (Pokr Hayastan in modern Armenian) in coming centuries.
The mentioning of the name Armenian can only be securely dated to the 6th century BC with the Orontid kings and very little is known specifically about the people of Azzi-Hayasa per se. The most recent edition of Encyclopædia Britannica does not include any articles on Hayasa or Azzi-Hayasa likely due to the paucity of historical documentation about this kingdom's people. Brittanica's article on the Armenians confirms that they were descendents of a branch of the Indo-European peoples but makes no assertion that they formed any portion of the population of Azzi-Hayasa.
Some historians find it sound to theorize that after the Phrygian invasion of Hittites, the theoretically named Armeno-Phrygians would have settled in Hayasa-Azzi, and merged with the local people, who were possibly already spread within the western regions of Urartu. After the fall of the latter, and the rise of the Kingdom of Armenia under the Artaxiad dynasty, Hayasan nobility (given they were truly Armenian) would have assumed control of the region and the people would have adopted their language to complete the amalgamation of the proto-Armenians, giving birth to the nation of Armenia as we know it today.

Argishti I (Armenian: Արգիշտի, Argishti) was the sixth known king of Ararat, reigning from 785 BC to 763 BC. He founded the citadel of Erebuni in 782 BC, which is the present capital of Armenia, Yerevan.
A son and the successor of Menua, he continued the series of conquests initiated by his predecessors. Victorious against Assyria, he conquered the northern part of Syria and made Armenia (Ararat) the most powerful state in the post-Hittite Near East. He also expanded his kingdom north to the Lake Sevan conquering much of Diauehi and the Ararat Valley. Argishtis built the Erebuni Fortress in 782 BC, and the fortress of Argishtikhinili in 776 BC.
He was succeeded by his son, Sarduri II.
Some linguists believe that the name Argištiše has Indo-European etymology (Armenian). Compare Armenian արեգ (translit. areg) -- "sun deity", "sun".
Argishti II was king of Urartu from 714 BC to 680 BC. He succeeded his father, King Rusa I. During the Armenian-Assyria War, Argishti was responsible for orchestrating major Armenian (Araratian) counter-offensives against the invading Assyrians. His forces drove the Assyrians back across the pre-war border and deep into the Assyrian heartlands, reconquering major towns and cities around Lake Urmia, including Mushashir, Ushnu, and Tepe, and conquering the territory as far south as the city of Nimud on the Tigris River. These victories forced the Assyrians to accept a lengthy peace and cede large tracts of territory north of the Tigris. The remainder of Argishti's lengthy reign was characterized by a "Golden Age", a period of lengthy peace and economic prosperity, which carried into the reigns of Argishti's two successors, his son Rusa II and his grandson Sarduri III.

Urartu was the 1st millennium BC. Chr. A kingdom in the north,west,southern and eastern Kurdistan. Urartu (Assyrian: māt Urarṭu;[3] Babylonian: Urashtu), corresponding to the biblical Kingdom of Ararat) or Kingdom of Van was an Iron Age kingdom centered on Lake Van in the northern Kurdistan.Strictly speaking, Urartu is the Assyrian term for a geographical region, while "kingdom of Urartu" or "Biainili lands" are terms used in modern historiography for the Urartian-speaking Iron Age state that arose in that region. This language appears in inscriptions. It is argued on linguistic evidence that proto-Kurdish came in contact with Urartian at an early date (3rd-2nd millennium BC), before formation of Urartian kingdom.That a distinction should be made between the geographical and the political entity was already pointed out by König (1955).
The landscape corresponds to the mountainous plateau between Anatolia, Mesopotamia, the eastern Kurdistan Plateau, and the Caucasus Kurdistan Mountains, later known as the northern Kurdistan.
Urartu comprised an area of approximately 200,000 square miles (520,000 km2), extending from the river Kura in the north, to the northern foothills of the Taurus Mountains in the south; and from the Euphrates in the west to the Caspian sea in the east.
At its apogee, Urartu stretched from the borders of northern Kurdistan (Mesopotamia) to the southern Caucasus Kurdistan, southern Georgia as far as the river Kura.
Archaeological sites within its boundaries include Altintepe, Toprakkale, Patnos and Haykaberd. Urartu fortresses included Erebuni (present day Yerevan city), Van Fortress, Argishtihinili, Anzaf, Haykaberd, and Başkale, as well as Teishebaini (Karmir Blur, Red Mound) and others.
The realm of the power in the middle of the ninth century BC, but was was taken by the Kurdish Medes in the early sixth century BC.

It is time for a showdown between the two super powers of the ancient world Can the rising power of Urartu finally successfully take on the dying Assyrian Empire or will Shamshi-Ilu, the wayward general, save Assyria?

Dünyada Urartu alfabesini oluşturan ilk kişi ve bu dili konuşan 36 kişiden biri o... Mehmet Kuşman'ı New York Times iki kez haber yapmış,..
- Nasıl geçiyor bir gününüz?
- Sabah 4'te uyanırım, namazımı kılıp yola çıkarım. 71 yaşımdayım. Van'ın çıkışından yola kadar otostop yapıyorum. Akşama kadar burada taşlarımı oyuyorum, kalenin bakımıyla ilgileniyorum. Yani turist gelmeyince canım sıkılıyor diye bir şey yok. Mesela en uzun günler bu günler. Bana kısa geliyor. Çünkü hep çalışıyorum.
- Eşiniz gurur duyuyordur sizinle...
- Urartu fanatizmime alıştı artık. 11 çocuğumuz var. Altısı kız, beşi erkek. Bir futbol takımı gibiyiz. Sadece bir oğlum bu dili öğrenmek istedi. Diğer çocuklarım 'Biz geleceğimize bakalım baba, geçmişi ne yapalım?' dedi.
- Urartular hakkında efsaneler var mı?
- Urartular hakkında bilinmeyen çok şey var. Acaba müzik var mıydı, yok muydu? Tiyatro yok, o kesin. Temizliğe önem vermişler. Bıçakla tıraş oluyorlar. Jilet yok o zaman, bıçak var. Tuvalet var, foseptik açmışlar. Çok tanrılı bir millet. En büyük tanrıları, devlet ve savaş tanrısı Haldi. Sembolleri yılan, akrep, şahin, aslan. Zehirleyici, parçalayıcı...
- Kitap yazmayı düşünüyor musunuz?
- Ölmeden, öğrendiğim her şeyi anlatmak istiyorum. Kitap yazıyorum, bitmek üzere. Adı, Doğu Anadolu'da Urartular. Çivi yazısı (Urartuca), Türkçe ve İngilizce olarak yayımlanacak.
- Neden Urartuca öğrenmek istediniz?
- Kalede çalışıyorduk. Bir hocamız, kazıdan çıkmış bir kitabenin başında düşünüyor. 'Hocam, herkes kitabe çıktığı zaman seviniyor, siz düşünüyorsunuz,' dedim. 'Yok,' dedi: 'Ben de sevindim ama kime okutacağız?' Branşı Fars dili ve edebiyatıydı. Ben de o zaman çok gençtim. Zannediyorum ki profesör denince, her şeyi biliyor. Ankara'da, Emin Bilgiç adında bir bey vardı. O tarihte onu çağırdılar, geldi ve kitabeyi okudu... Sonra yeni kitabeler çıkmaya başladı. Hoca yine düşünüyor. Hoca da beni çok severdi, hatta işe o aldırmıştı beni. 'Hocam, ben öğrenemez miyim?' deyince, öyle bir sinirlendi ki, sert bir şekilde 'Hadi canım sen de!' dedi. Ben de 'Bu dili öğreneceğim,' dedim. Van Kalesi'nde çok yazılar var. Hangisi Asur, hangisi Urartu seçmek zor. O kış öyle düşünerek geçti. Bir dahaki sene İran'a gittim.
- Parayı nereden buldunuz?
- Otostopla, atlarla köylere gidiyordum. Çok zorluk çektim tabii. Her ülkeden harf topladım. Urartuların yazısı çivi yazısı. Hangi sembol, hangi harfe denk geliyor? Tek tek araştırdım, alfabeyi oluşturdum. O zamana kadar alfabe yoktu. 53 tane harf tamamladım. 22 Mayıs 1986'da Müze Müdürlüğü'ne bir yazı geldi. Beni Ankara Milli Kütüphane'de sempozyuma çağırdılar. Türkiye'de kazı yapan yerli ve yabancı bütün hocalar oradaydı. Önce inanamadılar. Sonra hepsi teker teker elimi sıktı. Profesörlerden tebrik alınca daha bir hırslandım. Dedim ki 'Yazıyı çözdük, bundan sonra sıra lisanda'. Lisan o kadar zor ki... Nereden bileceksin harfleri, kelimeleri...
- 'Merhaba' nasıl denir Urartuca?
- 'Eştiye.' Konuşma dilini çözmek zor oldu. 12 yıl kadar uğraştım. Bazı kelimelerin neden bahsettiğini biliyorum ama cümleyi kuramıyorum. Bir hoca dedi ki, 'İstanbul'a git, orada Beyazıt'ta lügat bulabilirsen, belki işini kolaylaştırır.' Urartuların dili, Ural-Altay kökenli. İyi bir lügat buldum, ondan faydalandım ve hemen çözüldü. O zorluklardan sonra çok kolay geldi.
- Şimdi kitabeler çıkınca okumanız için sizi mi çağırıyorlar?
- Genelde ben okurum. Van'a gelen her valiye 'Bana 30-40 öğrenci verin, bir yer gösterin, Urartuca öğreteyim,' diyorum. Çivi yazısıyla yaptığım oymacılığı da öğretirim. Bir zanaat sahibi olurlar. Her vali hep 'İyi olur,' diyor ama vaatleri masada kalıyor. Ayda 1200 lira emekli maaşı alıyorum. 44 yıl hizmetim var. Kendi imkanlarımla nasıl kurs açayım?
- Bu dili yakınlarınıza öğrettiniz mi?
- Oğlum biliyor, ona öğrettim...
- Bir savcı bey vardı, Gürpınar'da... Ona öğrettim. Bayağı ilerledi Urartuca konusunda. Şimdi Ankara'ya tayini çıktı. Gece beni alıyordu, evine gidiyorduk, gece geç saatlere kadar benden ders alıyordu.
- Urartuca ne kadar zamanda öğrenilir?
- Tahsil yapan bir insan üç yılda öğrenebilir. Hem okumayı hem yazmayı öğrenmek için üç yıl vermek lazım.
- Nasıl bir milletmiş Urartular?
- Çok çalışkanlar. Savaşçılar ama savaşı sevmiyorlar. Silah yapıyor, düşmanına veriyor. Kitabelerde bir sürü silah var Urartu yapımı... Asurlular, Urartululardan aldıkları silahla geliyor, onları öldürüyorlar. Van Kalesi, Urartuların en büyük kalesi. 135 bin kilometrekare yerde, 3.5 - 4 milyon insan yaşıyor.

The name Urartu comes from Assyrian sources: the Assyrian King Shalmaneser I (1263–1234 BC) recorded a campaign in which he subdued the entire territory of "Uruatri. The Shalmaneser text uses the name Urartu to refer to a geographical region, not a kingdom, and names eight "lands" contained within Urartu. "Urartu" is cognate with the Biblical "Ararat," Akkadian "Urashtu," and Armenian "Ayrarat.

Urartu
Urartu (Armenian: Ուրարտու - Urartu, Assyrian: māt Urarṭu;Babylonian: Urashtu), corresponding to the biblical Kingdom of Ararat (Armenian: Արարատյան Թագավորություն) or Kingdom of Van (Armenian: Վանի Թագավորություն, Urartian: Biai, Biainili) was an Iron Age kingdom centered on Lake Van in the Armenian Highlands.
Strictly speaking, Urartu is the Assyrian term for a geographical region, while "kingdom of Urartu" or "Biainili lands" are terms used in modern historiography for the Urartian-speaking Iron Age state that arose in that region. This language appears in inscriptions. Though there is no written evidence of any other language being spoken in this kingdom, it is argued on linguistic evidence that Proto-Armenian came in contact with Urartian at an early date (3rd-2nd millennium BC), before formation of Urartian kingdom.
That a distinction should be made between the geographical and the political entity was already pointed out by König (1955). The landscape corresponds to the mountainous plateau between Asia Minor, Mesopotamia, the Iranian Plateau, and the Caucasus mountains, later known as the Armenian Highlands. The kingdom rose to power in the mid-9th century BC, but was conquered by Media in the early 6th century BC. The heirs of Urartu are the Armenians and their successive kingdoms.

Urartu Alfabesini Oluşturan İlk Kişi "Mehmet Kuşman"Urartu Alfabesini Oluşturan İlk Kişi "Mehmet Kuşman"
Dünyada Urartu alfabesini oluşturan ilk kişi ve bu dili konuşan 36 kişiden biri o... Mehmet Kuşman'ı New York Times iki kez haber yapmış,.. - Nasıl geçiyor bir gününüz? - Sabah 4'te uyanırım, namazımı kılıp yola çıkarım. 71 yaşımdayım. Van'ın çıkışından yola kadar otostop yapıyorum. Akşama kadar burada taşlarımı oyuyorum, kalenin bakımıyla ilgileniyorum. Yani turist gelmeyince canım sıkılıyor diye bir şey yok. Mesela en uzun günler bu günler. Bana kısa geliyor. Çünkü hep çalışıyorum. - Eşiniz gurur duyuyordur sizinle... - Urartu fanatizmime alıştı artık. 11 çocuğumuz var. Altısı kız, beşi erkek. Bir futbol takımı gibiyiz. Sadece bir oğlum bu dili öğrenmek istedi. Diğer çocuklarım 'Biz geleceğimize bakalım baba, geçmişi ne yapalım?' dedi. - Urartular hakkında efsaneler var mı? - Urartular hakkında bilinmeyen çok şey var. Acaba müzik var mıydı, yok muydu? Tiyatro yok, o kesin. Temizliğe önem vermişler. Bıçakla tıraş oluyorlar. Jilet yok o zaman, bıçak var. Tuvalet var, foseptik açmışlar. Çok tanrılı bir millet. En büyük tanrıları, devlet ve savaş tanrısı Haldi. Sembolleri yılan, akrep, şahin, aslan. Zehirleyici, parçalayıcı... - Kitap yazmayı düşünüyor musunuz? - Ölmeden, öğrendiğim her şeyi anlatmak istiyorum. Kitap yazıyorum, bitmek üzere. Adı, Doğu Anadolu'da Urartular. Çivi yazısı (Urartuca), Türkçe ve İngilizce olarak yayımlanacak. - Neden Urartuca öğrenmek istediniz? - Kalede çalışıyorduk. Bir hocamız, kazıdan çıkmış bir kitabenin başında düşünüyor. 'Hocam, herkes kitabe çıktığı zaman seviniyor, siz düşünüyorsunuz,' dedim. 'Yok,' dedi: 'Ben de sevindim ama kime okutacağız?' Branşı Fars dili ve edebiyatıydı. Ben de o zaman çok gençtim. Zannediyorum ki profesör denince, her şeyi biliyor. Ankara'da, Emin Bilgiç adında bir bey vardı. O tarihte onu çağırdılar, geldi ve kitabeyi okudu... Sonra yeni kitabeler çıkmaya başladı. Hoca yine düşünüyor. Hoca da beni çok severdi, hatta işe o aldırmıştı beni. 'Hocam, ben öğrenemez miyim?' deyince, öyle bir sinirlendi ki, sert bir şekilde 'Hadi canım sen de!' dedi. Ben de 'Bu dili öğreneceğim,' dedim. Van Kalesi'nde çok yazılar var. Hangisi Asur, hangisi Urartu seçmek zor. O kış öyle düşünerek geçti. Bir dahaki sene İran'a gittim. - Parayı nereden buldunuz? - Otostopla, atlarla köylere gidiyordum. Çok zorluk çektim tabii. Her ülkeden harf topladım. Urartuların yazısı çivi yazısı. Hangi sembol, hangi harfe denk geliyor? Tek tek araştırdım, alfabeyi oluşturdum. O zamana kadar alfabe yoktu. 53 tane harf tamamladım. 22 Mayıs 1986'da Müze Müdürlüğü'ne bir yazı geldi. Beni Ankara Milli Kütüphane'de sempozyuma çağırdılar. Türkiye'de kazı yapan yerli ve yabancı bütün hocalar oradaydı. Önce inanamadılar. Sonra hepsi teker teker elimi sıktı. Profesörlerden tebrik alınca daha bir hırslandım. Dedim ki 'Yazıyı çözdük, bundan sonra sıra lisanda'. Lisan o kadar zor ki... Nereden bileceksin harfleri, kelimeleri... - 'Merhaba' nasıl denir Urartuca? - 'Eştiye.' Konuşma dilini çözmek zor oldu. 12 yıl kadar uğraştım. Bazı kelimelerin neden bahsettiğini biliyorum ama cümleyi kuramıyorum. Bir hoca dedi ki, 'İstanbul'a git, orada Beyazıt'ta lügat bulabilirsen, belki işini kolaylaştırır.' Urartuların dili, Ural-Altay kökenli. İyi bir lügat buldum, ondan faydalandım ve hemen çözüldü. O zorluklardan sonra çok kolay geldi. - Şimdi kitabeler çıkınca okumanız için sizi mi çağırıyorlar? - Genelde ben okurum. Van'a gelen her valiye 'Bana 30-40 öğrenci verin, bir yer gösterin, Urartuca öğreteyim,' diyorum. Çivi yazısıyla yaptığım oymacılığı da öğretirim. Bir zanaat sahibi olurlar. Her vali hep 'İyi olur,' diyor ama vaatleri masada kalıyor. Ayda 1200 lira emekli maaşı alıyorum. 44 yıl hizmetim var. Kendi imkanlarımla nasıl kurs açayım? - Bu dili yakınlarınıza öğrettiniz mi? - Oğlum biliyor, ona öğrettim... - Bir savcı bey vardı, Gürpınar'da... Ona öğrettim. Bayağı ilerledi Urartuca konusunda. Şimdi Ankara'ya tayini çıktı. Gece beni alıyordu, evine gidiyorduk, gece geç saatlere kadar benden ders alıyordu. - Urartuca ne kadar zamanda öğrenilir? - Tahsil yapan bir insan üç yılda öğrenebilir. Hem okumayı hem yazmayı öğrenmek için üç yıl vermek lazım. - Nasıl bir milletmiş Urartular? - Çok çalışkanlar. Savaşçılar ama savaşı sevmiyorlar. Silah yapıyor, düşmanına veriyor. Kitabelerde bir sürü silah var Urartu yapımı... Asurlular, Urartululardan aldıkları silahla geliyor, onları öldürüyorlar. Van Kalesi, Urartuların en büyük kalesi. 135 bin kilometrekare yerde, 3.5 - 4 milyon insan yaşıyor. -

The name Urartu comes from Assyrian sources: the Assyrian King Shalmaneser I (1263–1234 BC) recorded a campaign in which he subdued the entire territory of "Uruatri. The Shalmaneser text uses the name Urartu to refer to a geographical region, not a kingdom, and names eight "lands" contained within Urartu. "Urartu" is cognate with the Biblical "Ararat," Akkadian "Urashtu," and Armenian "Ayrarat.

Ancient Armenian civilization-Urartu/Ararat/Armenian Kingdom

Chahin, "The Kingdom of Armenia," London, 2001 "The new kingdom of Urartu, which proved to be the stronghold of the Hurrian race." Greater Armenia lies in the highlands surrounding Mount Ararat, the highest peak of the region.

Bloodlines of Urartu
The similarity of the name Hayasa to the endonym of the Armenians, Hayk or Hay and the Armenian name for Armenia, Hayastan has prompted the suggestion that the Hayasa-Azzi confereration was involved in the Armenian ethnogenesis. The term Hayastan bears resemblance to the ancient Mesopotamian god Haya (ha-ià) and another western deity called Ebla Hayya, related to the god Ea (Enki or Enkil in Sumerian, Ea in Akkadian and Babylonian). Thus, the Great Soviet Encyclopedia of 1962 posited that the Armenians derive from a migration of Hayasa into Shupria in the 12th century BC. This is open to objection due to the possibility of a mere coincidental similarity between the two names and the lack of geographic overlap, although Hayasa (the region) became known as Lesser Armenia (Pokr Hayastan in mo...

Argishti I (Արգիշտի) of Ayrarat (Urartu) - The Armenian-Assyrian wars
Argishti I (Armenian: Արգիշտի, Argishti) was the sixth known king of Ararat, reigning from 785 BC to 763 BC. He founded the citadel of Erebuni in 782 BC, which is the present capital of Armenia, Yerevan. A son and the successor of Menua, he continued the series of conquests initiated by his predecessors. Victorious against Assyria, he conquered the northern part of Syria and made Armenia (Ararat) the most powerful state in the post-Hittite Near East. He also expanded his kingdom north to the Lake Sevan conquering much of Diauehi and the Ararat Valley. Argishtis built the Erebuni Fortress in 782 BC, and the fortress of Argishtikhinili in 776 BC. He was succeeded by his son, Sarduri II. Some linguists believe that the name Argištiše has Indo-European etymology (Armenian). Compare Armenian...

Kurdish Hurrians-Urartian (Horrî-Urartu) Language/History
Urartu was the 1st millennium BC. Chr. A kingdom in the north,west,southern and eastern Kurdistan. Urartu (Assyrian: māt Urarṭu;[3] Babylonian: Urashtu), corresponding to the biblical Kingdom of Ararat) or Kingdom of Van was an Iron Age kingdom centered on Lake Van in the northern Kurdistan.Strictly speaking, Urartu is the Assyrian term for a geographical region, while "kingdom of Urartu" or "Biainili lands" are terms used in modern historiography for the Urartian-speaking Iron Age state that arose in that region. This language appears in inscriptions. It is argued on linguistic evidence that proto-Kurdish came in contact with Urartian at an early date (3rd-2nd millennium BC), before formation of Urartian kingdom.That a distinction should be made between the geographical and the political ...

Throughout the Bible, this is a country, not a mountain. Armenia Major was bounded on the North by the River Cyrus (Kour), Iberia, Colchis, and the Moschici Mts.; on the West by Asia Minor and the Euphrates; on the South by Mesopotamia and Assyria; on the East by the Caspian and Media. (Armenia Minor lay between the Euphrates and the Halys.) Ararat was originally the name of the central district. Most of Armenia is between 8,000 and 3,000 feet above sea-level, and slopes toward Euphrates, Cyrus, and the Gaspian. Mt. Massis (generally called Greater Ararat) is 16,969 ft. and Lesser Ararat, 12,840 ft. Both are of igneous origin, as is Aragds (A`la Goz), 13,436 ft. Sulphur springs and earthquakes still attest volcanic activity. The largest rivers are the Euphrates, Tigris and Araxes. The latter, swift and famed for violent floods, joins the Cyrus, which falls into the Caspian. The lakes Van, Urmi and Sevan are veritable inland seas. The many mountain chains, impassable torrents and large streams divide the country into districts far less accessible from one another than from foreign lands. Hence, invasions are easy and national union difficult. This has sadly affected the history of Armenia. Xenophon (Anab. iv.5) describes the people as living in houses partly underground, such as are still found. Each village was ruled by its chief according to ancient customary laws. He well describes the severity of the winters. In summer the climate in some places is like that of Italy or Spain. Much of Armenia is extremely fertile, producing large herds of horses and cattle, abundant crops of cereals, olives and fruit. It is rich in minerals, and is probably the home of the rose and the vine.

In their great epic poems of Gilgamesh and Arrata, they tell of the land of their ancestors, the Arratans in the Highlands of Armenia. The Sumerians also in the epic poems describe the Great Flood and the rebirth of life after the terrible deluge that fell from the Highlands of Armenia unto the lands of Mesopotamia and the Fertile Crescent. The Sumerians had a very close connection with the ancestral Land of Ararat and considered it as their ancestral homeland.
Many historians and archaeologists are convinced that the Sumerians initially lived in Northern Mesopotamia and Armenian Highland.

The similarity of the name Hayasa to the endonym of the Armenians, Hayk or Hay and the Armenian name for Armenia, Hayastan has prompted the suggestion that the Hayasa-Azzi confereration was involved in the Armenian ethnogenesis. The term Hayastan bears resemblance to the ancient Mesopotamian god Haya (ha-ià) and another western deity called Ebla Hayya, related to the god Ea (Enki or Enkil in Sumerian, Ea in Akkadian and Babylonian). Thus, the Great Soviet Encyclopedia of 1962 posited that the Armenians derive from a migration of Hayasa into Shupria in the 12th century BC. This is open to objection due to the possibility of a mere coincidental similarity between the two names and the lack of geographic overlap, although Hayasa (the region) became known as Lesser Armenia (Pokr Hayastan in modern Armenian) in coming centuries.
The mentioning of the name Armenian can only be securely dated to the 6th century BC with the Orontid kings and very little is known specifically about the people of Azzi-Hayasa per se. The most recent edition of Encyclopædia Britannica does not include any articles on Hayasa or Azzi-Hayasa likely due to the paucity of historical documentation about this kingdom's people. Brittanica's article on the Armenians confirms that they were descendents of a branch of the Indo-European peoples but makes no assertion that they formed any portion of the population of Azzi-Hayasa.
Some historians find it sound to theorize that after the Phrygian invasion of Hittites, the theoretically named Armeno-Phrygians would have settled in Hayasa-Azzi, and merged with the local people, who were possibly already spread within the western regions of Urartu. After the fall of the latter, and the rise of the Kingdom of Armenia under the Artaxiad dynasty, Hayasan nobility (given they were truly Armenian) would have assumed control of the region and the people would have adopted their language to complete the amalgamation of the proto-Armenians, giving birth to the nation of Armenia as we know it today.

Argishti I (Armenian: Արգիշտի, Argishti) was the sixth known king of Ararat, reigning from 785 BC to 763 BC. He founded the citadel of Erebuni in 782 BC, which is the present capital of Armenia, Yerevan.
A son and the successor of Menua, he continued the series of conquests initiated by his predecessors. Victorious against Assyria, he conquered the northern part of Syria and made Armenia (Ararat) the most powerful state in the post-Hittite Near East. He also expanded his kingdom north to the Lake Sevan conquering much of Diauehi and the Ararat Valley. Argishtis built the Erebuni Fortress in 782 BC, and the fortress of Argishtikhinili in 776 BC.
He was succeeded by his son, Sarduri II.
Some linguists believe that the name Argištiše has Indo-European etymology (Armenian). Compare Armenian արեգ (translit. areg) -- "sun deity", "sun".
Argishti II was king of Urartu from 714 BC to 680 BC. He succeeded his father, King Rusa I. During the Armenian-Assyria War, Argishti was responsible for orchestrating major Armenian (Araratian) counter-offensives against the invading Assyrians. His forces drove the Assyrians back across the pre-war border and deep into the Assyrian heartlands, reconquering major towns and cities around Lake Urmia, including Mushashir, Ushnu, and Tepe, and conquering the territory as far south as the city of Nimud on the Tigris River. These victories forced the Assyrians to accept a lengthy peace and cede large tracts of territory north of the Tigris. The remainder of Argishti's lengthy reign was characterized by a "Golden Age", a period of lengthy peace and economic prosperity, which carried into the reigns of Argishti's two successors, his son Rusa II and his grandson Sarduri III.

Some linguists believe that the name Argištiše has Indo-European etymology (Armenian). Compare Armenian արեգ (translit. areg) -- "sun deity", "sun".
Argishti II was king of Urartu from 714 BC to 680 BC. He succeeded his father, King Rusa I. During the Armenian-Assyria War, Argishti was responsible for orchestrating major Armenian (Araratian) counter-offensives against the invading Assyrians. His forces drove the Assyrians back across the pre-war border and deep into the Assyrian heartlands, reconquering major towns and cities around Lake Urmia, including Mushashir, Ushnu, and Tepe, and conquering the territory as far south as the city of Nimud on the Tigris River. These victories forced the Assyrians to accept a lengthy peace and cede large tracts of territory north of the Tigris. The remainder of Argishti's lengthy reign was characterized by a "Golden Age", a period of lengthy peace and economic prosperity, which carried into the reigns of Argishti's two successors, his son Rusa II and his grandson Sarduri III.

Urartu was the 1st millennium BC. Chr. A kingdom in the north,west,southern and eastern Kurdistan. Urartu (Assyrian: māt Urarṭu;[3] Babylonian: Urashtu), corresponding to the biblical Kingdom of Ararat) or Kingdom of Van was an Iron Age kingdom centered on Lake Van in the northern Kurdistan.Strictly speaking, Urartu is the Assyrian term for a geographical region, while "kingdom of Urartu" or "Biainili lands" are terms used in modern historiography for the Urartian-speaking Iron Age state that arose in that region. This language appears in inscriptions. It is argued on linguistic evidence that proto-Kurdish came in contact with Urartian at an early date (3rd-2nd millennium BC), before formation of Urartian kingdom.That a distinction should be made between the geographical and the political entity was already pointed out by König (1955).
The landscape corresponds to the mountainous plateau between Anatolia, Mesopotamia, the eastern Kurdistan Plateau, and the Caucasus Kurdistan Mountains, later known as the northern Kurdistan.
Urartu comprised an area of approximately 200,000 square miles (520,000 km2), extending from the river Kura in the north, to the northern foothills of the Taurus Mountains in the south; and from the Euphrates in the west to the Caspian sea in the east.
At its apogee, Urartu stretched from the borders of northern Kurdistan (Mesopotamia) to the southern Caucasus Kurdistan, southern Georgia as far as the river Kura.
Archaeological sites within its boundaries include Altintepe, Toprakkale, Patnos and Haykaberd. Urartu fortresses included Erebuni (present day Yerevan city), Van Fortress, Argishtihinili, Anzaf, Haykaberd, and Başkale, as well as Teishebaini (Karmir Blur, Red Mound) and others.
The realm of the power in the middle of the ninth century BC, but was was taken by the Kurdish Medes in the early sixth century BC.

Dünyada Urartu alfabesini oluşturan ilk kişi ve bu dili konuşan 36 kişiden biri o... Mehmet Kuşman'ı New York Times iki kez haber yapmış,..
- Nasıl geçiyor bir gününüz?
- Sabah 4'te uyanırım, namazımı kılıp yola çıkarım. 71 yaşımdayım. Van'ın çıkışından yola kadar otostop yapıyorum. Akşama kadar burada taşlarımı oyuyorum, kalenin bakımıyla ilgileniyorum. Yani turist gelmeyince canım sıkılıyor diye bir şey yok. Mesela en uzun günler bu günler. Bana kısa geliyor. Çünkü hep çalışıyorum.
- Eşiniz gurur duyuyordur sizinle...
- Urartu fanatizmime alıştı artık. 11 çocuğumuz var. Altısı kız, beşi erkek. Bir futbol takımı gibiyiz. Sadece bir oğlum bu dili öğrenmek istedi. Diğer çocuklarım 'Biz geleceğimize bakalım baba, geçmişi ne yapalım?' dedi.
- Urartular hakkında efsaneler var mı?
- Urartular hakkında bilinmeyen çok şey var. Acaba müzik var mıydı, yok muydu? Tiyatro yok, o kesin. Temizliğe önem vermişler. Bıçakla tıraş oluyorlar. Jilet yok o zaman, bıçak var. Tuvalet var, foseptik açmışlar. Çok tanrılı bir millet. En büyük tanrıları, devlet ve savaş tanrısı Haldi. Sembolleri yılan, akrep, şahin, aslan. Zehirleyici, parçalayıcı...
- Kitap yazmayı düşünüyor musunuz?
- Ölmeden, öğrendiğim her şeyi anlatmak istiyorum. Kitap yazıyorum, bitmek üzere. Adı, Doğu Anadolu'da Urartular. Çivi yazısı (Urartuca), Türkçe ve İngilizce olarak yayımlanacak.
- Neden Urartuca öğrenmek istediniz?
- Kalede çalışıyorduk. Bir hocamız, kazıdan çıkmış bir kitabenin başında düşünüyor. 'Hocam, herkes kitabe çıktığı zaman seviniyor, siz düşünüyorsunuz,' dedim. 'Yok,' dedi: 'Ben de sevindim ama kime okutacağız?' Branşı Fars dili ve edebiyatıydı. Ben de o zaman çok gençtim. Zannediyorum ki profesör denince, her şeyi biliyor. Ankara'da, Emin Bilgiç adında bir bey vardı. O tarihte onu çağırdılar, geldi ve kitabeyi okudu... Sonra yeni kitabeler çıkmaya başladı. Hoca yine düşünüyor. Hoca da beni çok severdi, hatta işe o aldırmıştı beni. 'Hocam, ben öğrenemez miyim?' deyince, öyle bir sinirlendi ki, sert bir şekilde 'Hadi canım sen de!' dedi. Ben de 'Bu dili öğreneceğim,' dedim. Van Kalesi'nde çok yazılar var. Hangisi Asur, hangisi Urartu seçmek zor. O kış öyle düşünerek geçti. Bir dahaki sene İran'a gittim.
- Parayı nereden buldunuz?
- Otostopla, atlarla köylere gidiyordum. Çok zorluk çektim tabii. Her ülkeden harf topladım. Urartuların yazısı çivi yazısı. Hangi sembol, hangi harfe denk geliyor? Tek tek araştırdım, alfabeyi oluşturdum. O zamana kadar alfabe yoktu. 53 tane harf tamamladım. 22 Mayıs 1986'da Müze Müdürlüğü'ne bir yazı geldi. Beni Ankara Milli Kütüphane'de sempozyuma çağırdılar. Türkiye'de kazı yapan yerli ve yabancı bütün hocalar oradaydı. Önce inanamadılar. Sonra hepsi teker teker elimi sıktı. Profesörlerden tebrik alınca daha bir hırslandım. Dedim ki 'Yazıyı çözdük, bundan sonra sıra lisanda'. Lisan o kadar zor ki... Nereden bileceksin harfleri, kelimeleri...
- 'Merhaba' nasıl denir Urartuca?
- 'Eştiye.' Konuşma dilini çözmek zor oldu. 12 yıl kadar uğraştım. Bazı kelimelerin neden bahsettiğini biliyorum ama cümleyi kuramıyorum. Bir hoca dedi ki, 'İstanbul'a git, orada Beyazıt'ta lügat bulabilirsen, belki işini kolaylaştırır.' Urartuların dili, Ural-Altay kökenli. İyi bir lügat buldum, ondan faydalandım ve hemen çözüldü. O zorluklardan sonra çok kolay geldi.
- Şimdi kitabeler çıkınca okumanız için sizi mi çağırıyorlar?
- Genelde ben okurum. Van'a gelen her valiye 'Bana 30-40 öğrenci verin, bir yer gösterin, Urartuca öğreteyim,' diyorum. Çivi yazısıyla yaptığım oymacılığı da öğretirim. Bir zanaat sahibi olurlar. Her vali hep 'İyi olur,' diyor ama vaatleri masada kalıyor. Ayda 1200 lira emekli maaşı alıyorum. 44 yıl hizmetim var. Kendi imkanlarımla nasıl kurs açayım?
- Bu dili yakınlarınıza öğrettiniz mi?
- Oğlum biliyor, ona öğrettim...
- Bir savcı bey vardı, Gürpınar'da... Ona öğrettim. Bayağı ilerledi Urartuca konusunda. Şimdi Ankara'ya tayini çıktı. Gece beni alıyordu, evine gidiyorduk, gece geç saatlere kadar benden ders alıyordu.
- Urartuca ne kadar zamanda öğrenilir?
- Tahsil yapan bir insan üç yılda öğrenebilir. Hem okumayı hem yazmayı öğrenmek için üç yıl vermek lazım.
- Nasıl bir milletmiş Urartular?
- Çok çalışkanlar. Savaşçılar ama savaşı sevmiyorlar. Silah yapıyor, düşmanına veriyor. Kitabelerde bir sürü silah var Urartu yapımı... Asurlular, Urartululardan aldıkları silahla geliyor, onları öldürüyorlar. Van Kalesi, Urartuların en büyük kalesi. 135 bin kilometrekare yerde, 3.5 - 4 milyon insan yaşıyor.

If It Comes To That
Everybody tells me you're a woman with the past
Quick to make a promise but your love will never last
They tell me that I'm foolish to think that your love could be fair
But they don't know that I'm too much in love to even care
I'll be satisfied lovin' and losin' you honey if it comes to that
If it comes right down to hurtin' and you'll break this heart of mine
At least I've known the happiness of havin' your love for a time
If it happens that I lose you then I'll have the memory of how you loved me
I'll be yours until it happens and I'm gonna love you all the way
I don't care what comes tomorrow as long as you're all mine today
I'll be satisfied lovin' and losin' you honey if it comes to that
