	Urartu - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Urartu was an ancient kingdom in eastern Anatolia, centred in the mountainous region around Lake Van (present-day Turkey), which existed from about 1000 BC, or earlier, until 585 BC, and which, at its apogee, stretched from northern Mesopotamia through the southern Caucasus, involving parts of present-day Armenia up to Lake Sevan.
		The name Urartu is from Assyrian, a dialect of Akkadian, and was given to the kingdom by its chief rivals to the south; it may have meant simply "mountain country".
		Currently, samples of Urartian written language have survived in many inscriptions found in the area of Urartu kingdom.

		The real rise of the empire of Urartu is centered around three kings: Menuas, Argishti and Sardur I.

		The Urartian Kingdom existed from the 9th century BC until the 6th century BC when it was destroyed by the Medes and vanished from history, only to be rediscovered in the archaeology of the late 1800s and early 1900s.
		From Assyrian texts, Urartu is known to have existed from about the late 13th century BC to the 9th century BC as a loose federation of tribes.
		However, if one takes a conservative view of Moses writing Genesis in the 15th century BC rather than the 13th century BC, then Urartu would have been known even in that era.

		The kingdom of Urartu emerged in the middle of the ninth century b.c.
		Moreover, Urartu developed in the shadow of the mighty and expansive Assyrian empire.
		The sudden emergence of the Urartian state (no highly centralized state had ever been based in eastern Anatolia before) and the relative paucity of sources are reasons for different hypotheses explaining the rise of Urartu.

		After the partial success of the union, central authority was strengthened and soon, under King Aramu, Urartu became a kingdom, although he was not successful in defending it against the determined attacks of the Assyrian King Salmanazar III.
		Some important southern towns of the kingdom, such as Segunia and Arzashkun, were destroyed by the Assyrians, but the kingdom survived these crises and even managed to expand towards Lake Urmiye in the east and northern Syria in the south.
