Teishebaini, Archaeological site near Yerevan, Armenia.
The fortress at Teishebaini contains stone perimeter walls with towers, gates, and extensive storage rooms covering an area of 0.45 square kilometers.
Rusa II established Teishebaini between 650 and 600 BC as a defensive stronghold against invasions from Cimmerians and Scythians in the eastern Urartu territories.
The governor's palace included 120 rooms across 40,000 square meters and featured a citadel dedicated to Teisheba, the Urartian god of war.
The excavation site reveals ancient water canal systems that supported agricultural production of grains, including lentils, hemp, sesame, and twelve grape varieties.
The hill earned its name Karmir Blur due to the reddish color of its walls, caused by an intense fire that transformed the tuff stone structures.
