Urartu

[HyeFedayis]

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!

 

It is Ararat & the Araratian kingdom.

 

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.

[Armenak]

I agree with Proud EXPAT. It's all very confusing.

[Eurocentric]

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

 

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.

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.

 

there are so much info on the net that completely contradicts eachother.

 

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?

Guys, this HyeFedayis group of posters is/are Turks disguised as Armenians who try to instigate futile discussions among Armenians. Just ignore them.

 

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.

Have you read Vahan Kurkjian's History of Armenia?

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.

[Error 404]

Wonder if the female name Bianka which I met in Europe a lot has something common with the Biaina.

Thank god! He deserves it, he's a walking encyclopedia that reads cuneiform ջուր խմելու պէս.

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

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.

 

Assyrians called Armenia Nairi, the land of rivers. (cf Nahr is Arabic for river: Bein ul Nahrein = Mesopotamia).

 

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.

Yeah, but nobody pays much attention that crap anyway.

lol no

BIANCA

Gender: Feminine

 

Usage: Italian, Romanian

 

Italian cognate of BLANCHE. Shakespeare used characters named Bianca in 'The Taming of the Shrew' and 'Othello'.

Ararat is Hebrew? I thought it was RRT and not Ararat.

[Eurocentric]

The Assyrian inscription is RRT most often rendered as Urartu (not a linguist so I don't know why). In the Bible it's written as Ararat (Hebrew version).

Bianca = white (feminin), the word also exists in English in the form of blank.

Dear all. I hope you would forgive me if I move this debate to another thread since this thread was meant to be a sociopolitical, historical commentary somehow turned into linguistics. Here is what I’ll do, I will with permission of Proud take his post over and see what we are talking about

“Ararat is Hebrew? I thought it was RRT and not Ararat.”

Sure Arpa no problem. I know there are a few other threads that can accomodate these posts.

No one pays attention to Artak movisyan they know he is a horrible researcher, spreading theories.

If you guys stated some references it would help stop some confusion.
