Aramus is an Urartian fortress

Aramus, located on a hilltop about 1500 m above sea level, is an Urartian fortress occupied in the first millennium B.C. A cuneiform inscription found nearby indicates that there may be a connection between the site and the city of Darani, which was conquered by the Urartian King Argishti I in the eighth century B.C. This project will shed light on the development and decline of the Urartu kingdom in relation to the preceding and following social and political structures in the region.
