What Is Urartu: The Forgotten Kingdom About?

The premise of Urartu: The Forgotten Kingdom without spoilers.

According to the Bible, Urartu is considered one of the Earth’s oldest civilizations, believed to be the resting place of Noah’s Ark and a source of humanity’s salvation. The people of Urartu possessed a sophisticated culture, thriving economy, advanced understanding of astronomy, and a rich religious life. Recent discoveries suggest their culture was remarkably advanced, significantly influencing both the Persian Empire and ancient Greece. Despite its historical importance, Urartu remains largely unexplored, making it a compelling mystery of the ancient world. This documentary aims to shed light on its unique history and significance.
