Progressing unearthings at a necropolis found a long time back close to the Palace of Cavustepe in the Gurpinar region of Turkey’s eastern Van territory are giving entrancing experiences into Urartian entombment rehearses and cultural elements. Driven by Rafet Cavusoglu, a group of 17 specialists including anthropologists, archeologists, sociologists, craftsmanship students of history, and restorers from Van Yuzuncu Yil College (YYU) is persistently uncovering the secrets of this old site.

The elite members of Urartu society who lived in the citadel built by King Sardur II of Urartu (r. 764–735 BC) went to their final resting place in the necropolis. Late archeological unearthings have uncovered a large number of entombment locales decorated with a variety of gems, for example, silver neckbands, various studs, talismans, an exceptional strong gold lion pin, and a belt unpredictably decorated with fanciful figures.

Perhaps of the most exceptional disclosure made in the earlier year was the entombment of a small kid, only three years of age at the hour of their passing. Accepted to have had a place with a Urartian blue-blooded family, the kid’s grave contained flawlessly created mythical serpent headed copper arm bands, a special track down inside the district. Circling the kid’s neck were dabs from a jewelry, which were initially hung together on a now-decayed string or cowhide string. A small ceramic bowl still containing food offerings was at the child’s head.

Cavusoglu underscored the consistent stream of new discoveries rising up out of the concentrated removal endeavors inside the necropolis region. He communicated, “The necropolis site stays a puzzler. We steadily work to disentangle this secret, uncovering new revelations as we continue. According to our findings, this burial is unprecedented. This denotes the primary example of experiencing bronze arm bands decorating the arms of a youngster.”

Van, once known as Tushpa, filled in as the capital of the Urartian realm, ruling over what is presently eastern Anatolia from the ninth century BC until the mid sixth hundred years. The continuous unearthings keep on uncovering the secret accounts of this old development, revealing insight into their customs, cultural design, and imaginative accomplishments.
