Although this article dedicated to horse’s appearances inUrartian belts shares a lot in principle with previous ones, nevertheless,there are some principal and profound differences. From the archaeologicalpoint ofview, we are entirely missing any evidence of material cultureconnected to lions and bulls, but, on the contrary, as it goes to the subjectof horses, we have huge archeological material heritage from urartian past thatmakes the entire process of this investigative analyses peculiarly distinctive.That is a reason why we decided to deviate from traditional format of twoprevious animal personages’ studyand included in the whole article theintroductory mini-article part, wholly covering the archaeo-materialimplications of horse culture in Urartu.
