Conducted by a Turkish specialist and
augmented with contributions from academics and curators
at local universities and museums in Eastern Turkey
With the dawning of the twentieth
century, a long forgotten culture has been rediscovered
in the Anatolian Highlands of Asia Minor. This ancient
civilization of Urartu centered around Lake Van and
flourished from the 9th to the 6th century B.C.
Extending from Lake Urmia in the east to North Syria in
the west, during its three hundred years of existence,
the Urartian Empire was a formidable power. Later, it
was vanquished and disappeared from the memory of man.
