Urartian Religion

Urartian religion centered on a pantheon led by the chief god, Teisheba, associated with storms and water. They worshipped gods linked to natural elements, royalty, and protective deities, often depicted through monumental inscriptions and rituals. Temples and sacred sites were integral, serving as centers for offerings and ceremonies believed to maintain cosmic order. Ancestor worship and divine kingship were also significant, with rulers seen as divine intermediaries. The religion reflected their connection to nature and their societal hierarchy, integrating myth, ritual, and political authority to sustain their culture and stability.
