2-PLEASE use the word in the right context: Urartu is NOT the name of a people. Armenians were NOT Urartu, they were Urartian.
3-DON'T SAY URARTU!
It is Ararat & the Araratian kingdom.

1-There exist far too many artifacts and finds to dismiss "Urartu" as BS.
2-PLEASE use the word in the right context: Urartu is NOT the name of a people. Armenians were NOT Urartu, they were Urartian.
3-DON'T SAY URARTU!

where exactly did I say we are Urartu?
the Jews will always be our worst enemies twisting every historical truth to minimize our race's worthy role in history. NO WE DID NOT APPEAR OUT OF NO WHERE and take over the traditions of the so called Urartu people. the Araratian Kingdom was the kingdom of the our race, the Armenian race.

Urartu, Aratta, Araratian kingdom all the same things.
Artifacts need to be proven and Urartu has not been efficiently.
But it makes sense when you look at there history but obviously the Turks will try to steal our history, and change it to there suitable needs, we need more historians who can prove this Urartu is important to our history.

the sad reality is that we Armenians keep using the name Urartu rather than Ararat.
there are so much info on the net that completely contradicts eachother.
i mean naturally it's going to be confusing since we're talking about a huge area of land where not only Armenians have lived.
it just seems stupid that i keep running into this thing about Urartu and its so called Urartians disappeared and suddenly we appeared. how does that work when our roots were with the Hayasa-Azzi and Armens which were before the so called Urartians? or should i be looking more west towards Phrygia and not only the central and eastern Armenian Highland.
UKH! too much info.

The word Ararat has only been recorded in the Bible, it's the Hebrew rendering of the Assyrian Urartu!
The inhabitants of Urartu called their nation BIAINILI not ***ing Urartu or Ararat.

Uh, Urartu is Assyrian. Ararat is JEWISH!!!!

yes Eurocentric, i knew about the points you made.
my point is that in the last century there have been some distortions by our enemies. constantly using the name Urartu instead of Ararat makes it seem like Urartu had no real connection to the Armenians. that probably didnt make sense but its 5am right now.
we need to stop using the name Urartu just as we need to stop using Karabagh instead of Artsakh.
i found an old thread where Artaxias mentioned this:
"So far this is what I gather. IE Hittites took over non-IE Hattis. Later IE proto-Armenians took over what's left of the Hittites and eventually coexisted in the East with the Hurro-Urartians for a while, gaining total domination when Cimmerians/Scythians invaded destroying Urartu/Phrygia and going further into Europa. That's when Media takes over, obviously preferring IE Armenian over the weird non-IE Urartian.
So until that point everyone involved from Hittites to Thraco-Phrygians and Cimmerians and the non-IE Hurrians, Hayasas etc. are all proto-Armenians."
sort of makes sense yet proto-Armenian definition is quite confusing especially in wikipedia's definition - the part that says "Armenian has many layers of loanwords and shows traces of long language contact with Hurro-Urartian". again, where do the Hayasa-Azi and Armens come into the picture and what the heck is the Urartu language?
i think i give up. like i said, the area is so huge that it's practically impossible to come up with one explanation.

You missed the point. The word Ararat is as foreign as is the word Urartu. One is Assyrian the other is the Hebrew rendition of the Assyrian found in the Bible. The people of Urartu themselves called their land Bianili.
That's the fault of Armenians who never seem to be able to differentiate myth from history.
Have you read Vahan Kurkjian's History of Armenia?

Urartu is a term, DECIPHERED from cuneiform inscriptions in the 20th century. It could have been read Ararta, Arartu, Urarta, etc. because cuneiform signs are syllabic and there's no certain way of pronouncing the words exactly as intended when they were written.
Urartu was the name given to Armenia by Akkadians.
Assyrians called Armenia Nairi, the land of rivers. (cf Nahr is Arabic for river: Bein ul Nahrein = Mesopotamia).
The kings of Urartu called their kingdom Biaina, the word that has changed and become Van, thus kingdom of Biaina = kingdom of Van. Compare Erebuni = Yerevan, aban = avan, abeli = aveli, all words that have the same meaning after 3000 years.
That in the Soviet Sionist times they tried to undermine the history of Armenia, is completely in accordance with their anti-nationalistic, Zionist ideology. Thus, they would fabricate history claiming that Georgians, "Azeris" and Armenians were all equally descendants of "Urartians" which is 48-carat, unpolished bullshit.
Turks claim ALL the languages came from Turkish and ALL civilizations were Turkish in origin.
This is not because they know they are garbage and have civilization envy, hell no. It's to justify their miserable, illegal, undeserved, destructive, undesired and unwanted presence on other peoples' territory. They have absolutely no affinity whatsoever with all those peoples and if any one of them had survived, they would have been exterminated or Turkified.

For a more up-to-date version of Armenian history, I suggest you get hold of a couple of works by Artak Movsessian, true, still in his thirties but free from Soviet Sionist bullshit polishing, distory fabrication.
Not all of his works have been translated into English, so non-Armenians like yourself have to wait for some time. There are one or two available in English though.

I hope the forum remembers that.
And also, Movsissian is an authority at the moment.

I'm sorry but Movsessian's work is not objective or academic while Kurkjian is both even though outn dated.

My left testicle is more Armenian than most people that here.

Either way, it's foreign.
Urartu was the name given to Armenia by Akkadians.
Assyrian=Akkadian, prior to the adoption of Aramaic by neo-Assyrians.
Yes.
The kings of Urartu called their kingdom Biaina, the word that has changed and become Van, thus kingdom of Biaina = kingdom of Van. Compare Erebuni = Yerevan, aban = avan, abeli = aveli, all words that have the same meaning after 3000 years.
Yes. Kingdom of Van or Kingdom of Bianili/Biayna/Biania etc. is fine. Kingdom of Ararat is stupid.
Turks claim ALL the languages came from Turkish and ALL civilizations were Turkish in origin.
This is not because they know they are garbage and have civilization envy, hell no. It's to justify their miserable, illegal, undeserved, destructive, undesired and unwanted presence on other peoples' territory.

Yeah, but nobody pays much attention that crap anyway.
