EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases two exquisite artifacts from the Urartu civilization, specifically an arrow and a quiver, discovered at the ancient sites of Tushpa or Toprakkale in modern-day Turkey. Dating back to the 7th century B.C., these objects offer a glimpse into the rich prehistoric history of the Armenian Highlands. The Urartu Kingdom, also known as the Kingdom of Van, was a powerful Iron Age civilization that flourished in the region between the 9th and 6th centuries B.C. Known for their advanced military and architectural achievements, the Urartians were skilled hunters and warriors. These arrows and quiver, now housed in the Pergamon Museum in Berlin, Germany, are testament to their prowess in the art of hunting and warfare. The quiver, intricately decorated with geometric patterns and animal motifs, would have held a number of arrows for the Urartian warrior. The arrows, made of iron, would have been essential for both hunting and battle. The precision and craftsmanship evident in these artifacts speak to the advanced metallurgical skills of the Urartians during this period. The discovery of these artifacts, along with others like them, has provided valuable insights into the daily life and military practices of the Urartian civilization. The Urartu people left behind a rich cultural legacy, and the study of their history continues to shed light on the prehistoric age and the development of human civilization.
