Scientists Assert That This Was The Cause Of The Byzantine Empire’s Demise – And That People Today Should Be Alarmed

Religion appears to have been an essential component of life for the Urartians, as it was for most civilizations. The religious belief appears to have evolved from a mix of original and borrowed ideas from various cultures. There’s also proof that the Urartu people presented their gods’ presents and animal sacrifices.

Tushpa was Urartu’s capital, and it sprang up on a limestone platform near the eastern shore of Lake Van. Tushpa was then dubbed “Van” instead of Tushpa. And this was no tiny town; according to the Ancient History Encyclopedia, the settlement’s population peaked at 50,000 people.
