Urartian Tablets

Urartian tablets are ancient inscribed clay records from the Urartu civilization, which thrived around the 9th to 6th centuries BCE in what is now eastern Turkey and Armenia. These tablets often contain cuneiform writing and document various aspects of Urartian life, including royal inscriptions, military campaigns, religious practices, and administrative activities. Typically shaped as small blocks, they were used for recording important information on durable material, providing valuable insights into Urartian language, governance, and culture. Today, these tablets are significant archaeological artifacts that help historians understand the history and society of this early Iron Age civilization.
