Meher Kapısı
Meher Kapısı, the Gate of Mithra, is a Urartian rock niche cut into a hillside near Van in eastern Turkey under Ishpuini and Menua around 800 BCE. Its long inscription lists the gods of the Urartian pantheon, headed by Haldi, Teisheba and Shivini, and the sacrifices of cattle and sheep due to each. It is the principal source for Urartian religion.
