Urartian-Sun of the East

Urartu - The Sun of the East Book Description Back Cover Article (From the Promotional Bulletin) Anatolia has become entrenched in memories as a region that has managed to become one of the sacred pages by hosting many civilizations. The sum of the statements about the history of Anatolia, apart from its geographical location, perhaps constitutes an encyclopedia of thousands of volumes. The reason is that it was used by so many civilizations that it became a region whose importance is understood in the documents found by archaeologists. The region is located in the southeastern part of the Asian continent in the form of a peninsula. The whole of Anatolia is located in Türkiye. The Black Sea is in the north, the Marmara and Aegean seas are in the west, and the Mediterranean is in the south. Today, the name "Anatolia" is used instead of these names. Located at a historically strategic point, Anatolia has been the key point of many civilizations. Historically, it was established in Anatolia before the Neolithic Age. Çatalhöyük, Çayönü, Nevali, Çori, Hacılar, Göbekli Tepe and Mersin settlements are the remaining settlements from the Neolithic Stone Age. The settlement of Troy was also founded during the Neolithic Age and progressed towards the Iron Age. Anatolia is very interesting that it has hosted civilizations such as Sumerian, Assyrian, Urartian, Hittite, Lydian, Persian, Seljuk, Ottoman, Roman, Byzantine, Greek and Celtic.
