EDITORS COMMENTS
This stele, hailing from the ancient Urartu civilization, showcases the Stele of Rusa II, a commemorative monument erected between approximately 680 BC and 639 BC. The Urartian King Rusa II is depicted in regal attire, holding a bow and quiver, standing before a relief of the city of Quarlini and the Ildaruni River (now known as the Hrazdan River). The stele's inscription, written in the Urartian cuneiform script, records Rusa II's achievement in building a canal to channel water from the Ildaruni River to Quarlini. The Urartu civilization, also known as the Kingdom of Van, was an ancient prehistoric civilization located in the Armenian Highlands and parts of present-day Turkey. The Urartians were renowned for their advanced ironworking techniques, as well as their intricate sculptures and reliefs. This stele, now housed in the Pergamon Museum in Berlin, Germany, is a testament to their artistic and engineering prowess. The Urartian cuneiform script, with its distinctive alphabet, is considered a precursor to the Armenian scripture. The inscription on this stele is a valuable historical document, providing insights into the administrative and cultural practices of the Urartian civilization. The intricate relief carvings on the stele also offer a glimpse into the daily life and artistic sensibilities of this ancient people. The Urartian civilization flourished in the 7th century BC, and its influence extended beyond its borders, reaching as far as Lake Van and the surrounding regions. This stele, with its rich historical significance, is a reminder of the Urartians' impressive achievements and their enduring legacy in the annals of human history.
