Ancient Village or Settlement in Armenia
Located on a hilltop about 1500m above sea level, is an Urartian fortress occupied in the 1st millennium BCE. 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 8th century BCE.
