معلومات عن هذه الحلقة
Menua, son of the founder of the Urartian Empire, once lived on the lakeside at Tushpa, whose modern name is Van (Türkiye).
Tushpa / Van is the meeting place of many great empires Kura-Araxes, Hittite (Indo-European), Mitanni (Indo-Europeanish), Babylon/Mesopotamian/Assyrian, Urartu, Armenian (Indo-European), Achmænaid (Indo-European) and now, I guess, mainly Kurd (Indo-European) and Turkish! Today, I’m driving to Van to, well, Find Manuland.
Tushpa, a strategic point in Lake Van basin, was situated in the centre of the historic route from every direction to Van Plain.
The capital, which included the first known written monument of the Kings of Urartu; was one of the most crowded and important Urartian centres with its splendid royal tombs, palaces, governmental storages, sacred sites, vineyards and orchards situated in fertile plains irrigated with dams and channels.
