Abstract
The study of the palatial construct at the archeological site of Yervantashad, located in the trans-Araxes region, has uncovered new qualitative facts regarding the cultural links between Urartu and Armenia in the second century BC. The latest explorations at the site have uncovered evidence that during the Orontid dynasty steps were taken to restore and reuse the Urartian palace. One of the steps was the addition of a Susi-type, tower-shaped sacred place next to the palace.
The idea of renovating and reusing the palace is linked to the plans of Yervant the Last, who wanted to relocate his capital as well as certain Urartian religious/architectural features from Armavir to this location.
The article outlines these facts and argues that, based on an examination of the historico-topographic features of the excavations conducted next to the “Andar Dzenentots” kingly paradise, the latter was a part of Yervanatagerd’s palatial compound, and not a palace for hunting; the compounds’ backyard was probably on the other side of the river Araxes.
