Urartu horsemen from Van Museum, Turkiye

 Salvete Omnes,

browsing the vastness of Wiki Commons I cam across some great photos from a museum in Turkey/Turkiye - Van Museum- 

these are dioramas showing the ancient inhabitants of the Lake Van region kingdom - the kingdom of Urartu - and the Urartu people, some of the fierce and skilled highlanders (the Armenian Highlands) of Anatolia's ancient and multi-ethnic past.
During the Iron Age the Urartians, on their western edges, became the arch-enemies of the New Assyrian state. Perhaps this article of your interest - the Origin of the  Ruling Elites of Urartu. & War and identity in the early history of Urartu.

breeders of fine horses - the Assyrians if victorious in their raids and wars against Urartu always demanded horses as booty and tribute
