Vintage Copper Stamping Plate for the Wall, Metsamor Mural Copper, Armenian Copper plate, Chekanka, King Argishti I
Beautiful copper stamping wall plate with Argishi I on is chariot pulled by two horses, which Metsamor was a copper mining place during his reign.
Argishti I, was the sixth known king of Urartu, reigning from 786 BC to 764 BC. He founded the citadel of Erebuni in 782 BC, which is the present capital of Armenia, Yerevan. Alternate transliterations of the name include Argishtis, Argisti, Argišti, and Argishtish. Although the name is usually rendered as Argišti (read: Argishti), some scholars argue that Argisti is the most likely pronunciation. This is due to the belief that the Urartians used the cuneiform symbol š to voice an s-sound, as opposed to representing the digraph sh.
A son and the successor of Menua, he continued the series of conquests initiated by his predecessors, apparently campaigning every year of his reign. He was involved in a number of inconclusive conflicts with the Assyrian king Shalmaneser IV. He conquered the northern part of Syria and made Urartu the most powerful state in post-Hittite Asia Minor. He also expanded his kingdom north to Lake Sevan, conquering much of Diauehi and the Ararat Valley. After an uprising by the inhabitants of the newly conquered regions, Argishti deported them and repopulated the area with subjects from other parts of his empire. In those territories, Argishti built Erebuni Fortress in 782 BC, settling it with 6,600 prisoners of war from Hatti and Supani. He also founded the fortress of Argishtikhinili in 776 BC, on the site of Armavir, the first capital of the later Kingdom of Armenia.
He was succeeded by his son Sarduri II.
Inscription with the word Metsamor is a city of the Armavir Marz, Armenia. The city was founded in 1979 to house the staff of the Metsamor nuclear power plant. It was also a very important archaeological site, essentially a Bronze Age city from the 3rd to the 2nd millennium BC, where copper mining took place on a major scale and was a major source of bronze production. However, it remained a major site of the Urartian period (from the ninth to the sixth century BC) and was even occupied in the middle Ages.
