 The Kingdom of Urartu, by Rafi Issagholian   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
In the temples dedicated to Haldi there is clear evidence of a cult of weapons: swords, spears, bows and arrows were laid up in the temples, their walls were hung with shields, and the temple itself was sometimes known as the 'house of weapons.'
The second place in the Urartian pantheon was occupied by Teisheba, the god of storms and thunder, who was designated by the Assyrian ideogram for the god Adad.
He was homonymous with the Hurrian god Teshub, who was widely worshipped in Asia Minor, and was represented in the form of a man standing on a bull, often holding a handful of thunderbolts.

Of special interest is the representation of god Khaldi standing on a lion, with a warder in his left hand and with a horned tiara on his head; it is similar to the bas-relief representation of god Teisheba in Adildzhewaz and many others known in the art of Urartu and that of the ancient East.

As distinct from other premises it was more richly decorated.

Consider the Armenian-Hurrian god Teisheba, who, because he was married to Hept, makes for us a connection between Armenia and Egypt.
This god furnished the name of the Armenian capital (at Lake Van) called "Tushpa." Suppose that "Teisheba" should be read as Zeus-Hept, where Zeus is viewed as the white bull of Crete, and "Hept" as somehow configured to Hephaistos, son of Zeus, but also the link between Crete and Egypt.

The "City of Teisheba" was a second major site created by Rusa II, securely identified by a building inscription found in situ.
