The main task of this research is to clarify the cultural interrelations between the Armenian Highlands and Mesopotamia based on a thorough analysis of archaeological, scientific, written, art materials and secondary literature. If necessary, social-archaeological, climatic, linguistic and other data were used.
The first chapter gives an overview of the landscape and climate of both the Assyrian heartland and Armenian Highlands, to the people and groups with their different political states and territories, to immigration and immigration, etc. I will try, by creating the ethnographic image of this Timetime period, to show the founding process of the state of Urartu.
Chapter II deals with immaterial culture: languages and writing systems, literature, mythology, personal and place names, religion and festivals in war and peace. Among other things, my task is to show that the entry of Assyrian cuneiform tradition in Urartu was mediated and it takes its origin from the Northern Syriac and Northern Mesopotamian cuneiform school (perhaps Šubria, Kumme or Alzi could serve as the connecting ring).
Chapter III discusses material culture in the form of works of art and ceramics, stone reliefs, stelae, seals and seals, metalwork, textiles and clothing, etc., including the architecture of palaces, temples, cities, fortresses, private homes, tombs, roads and paths, Canalscanals, dams, etc. The most important question is: how and by what direction did the development of art take place in the region? Our goal is the development of our own traditions and to find the foreign influences.
Chapter IV aims to provide a clear picture of social structure, political and administrative contacts, postal services, dynastic marriages, business and trade.
