Arzashkun
Arzashkun was the royal city of the early Urartian king Arame in the ninth century BCE and one of the earliest named centres of the Urartian kingdom. It is known only from Assyrian records: the annals of Shalmaneser III describe its capture and burning in 856 BCE. Its location is unknown, though it is generally sought north of Lake Van.
