Object while writing this thesis is analyzing the decoration on the Urartian war tools. That includes figures used, what techniques were used while applying those figures, etc. in order to that properly first, we had to established the locations that items recovered. Then we look to the function of the tools, types of items, manufacturing techniques, composition and pattern, all aspects of an item analyzed. Lastly, Urartian Culture compared to its contemporary neighboring cultures.During the research phase of the thesis, many difficulties had to be over come. Main difficulty is coming from fellow archeologist and historians. They put forward faulty and/or misleading ideas moreover they used obviously misleading information as true, to move some tribes origins to much earlier only possible reason to do that is political. As we see today, many nations try to claim Urartian culture as their ancestors.On top of those political false claims, I also noticed that some descriptions of some war tools and mythological creatures are wrong too. To correct these problems I created a special section that handles description of items and creatures. |
