Tsovinar inscription, Ancient cuneiform inscription near Lake Sevan, Armenia

The Tsovinar inscription stands carved on stone walls at the Odzaberd Fortress, situated on the eastern shore of Lake Sevan in Gegharkunik Province.

Dating from 735-713 BC, the inscription documents King Rusa I's military campaigns and the conquest of twenty-three nations during the Urartian period.

The inscription represents a vital source of information about Urartian language, administrative systems, and military achievements in the ancient Near East.

Visitors can access the archaeological site through the village of Tsovinar, which serves as a starting point for exploring the fortress and its inscriptions.

The inscription contains detailed records of geographical locations and administrative structures, making it a primary source for understanding ancient Armenian territories.
