Urartian DNA Ethnicity Estimate | Kingdom of Urartu

This video shows DNA results of Urartian man from Van, eastern Turkey. Urartu was an ancient kingdom centered around Lake Van in the Armenian Highlands.

The Urartian sample in this video, I19612 was genetically an adult male. The individual is placed in a simple grave pit dug into the ground. No archaeological finds were found in the pit. However, a broken Urartian pottery piece was retrieved from under the bones of the left foot of the skeleton. The individual was lying in full flexed position. His age was estimated older than 25 years.

Urartuians are the same armenians, just some has misread the hierogliphs in which a & u has been written in the same way so the right one should be Arata.

3:55 So basically close to Armenians, west Asian jews, Druzes, Lebanese, Assyrians and even Anatolian Greeks, and all those populations so linguistically different from each other though being genetically close

[mohsenardalan]

great work . please please test ancient elamite dna .

[zbaby]

Amazing detail! It appears that even way back then people traveled around a lot.

[lba]

Can you also do please Armenians of Metsamor-Lchashen period, if it is possible?🙏

[lba]

Thank you. Now i am more than sure, instead of paying money to all those "ancestral dna" sites, where they charge you a lot but give very obscure information, without haplogroups, it is better to check with videos like this- much more informative and detailed. Can you also do please also Armenians of Metsamor-Lchashen culture?

[lba]

Armenian, born in Yerevan. Had similar result to this Urartian almost one in one with My heritage, in this order:
73% west asian
15% south european (Greece and Italy)
12% middle eastern
3% Ashkenazi jewish

Can you please make a video about Phonecians/Judeans/Israelites or any othet Cnaanite population? Also maybe Philistines, they settled in the Levant from the sea and their origin is unknown (probably Greek)

[eytharburhan]

His mtdna H15b is very old and now mostly in Sweden and has many subclades

[popacristian]

Haha! 2:10 He is a cousin of my great-great-... -grandfather who was G2a2b2, my haplogroup.

[es]

I belong to the same subclade G-M406 but my autosomal DNA is a bit different, more ANF/CHG and less Iran_N/Natufian. Maybe my subclade has to do with bronze age anatolians like Hattians/Kaskians from central-north Anatolia

Urartu
first mention
of Urartu is known from an inscription documenting the campaigns of the Assyrian king Sulmánu-asarídu I in the north (13th century BC) – although at that time the area was still called Uratri, Uruatri or Urdḫu, and its southern tribes was known. [5] [12] Kutí probably derives from the name of the Kutú people who briefly ruled Mesopotamia, but it is not known if this was really their name, or if the Assyrians sought some ancient name for their opponents out of respect for tradition. Kutík lived between Urartu proper and the region of the upper Tigris. In the 13th century BC the name Uruatri was used to describe a geographical region that included eight principalities. [7] [14] Sulmánu-asarídu defeated the local tribal confederation "in three days", i.e. probably in three strokes. This campaign was not a conquering attack - territories without a state are not difficult to conquer, but holding them is very problematic - but simply a raiding expedition, the aim was mainly to acquire slaves. [21] The Assyrian campaign in Uruatri 1275 BC affected eight kingdoms (principalities), which again suggests that the name Uruatri is only a geographical name, being the summary name of the area from the upper reaches of the Great Zab to Arzasku. River. As an alternative, the name "Land of the Khurrians" also appears, which refers to the role of the Hurrians.

Sizlerden ricam bana soracağım sorunun cevabını vermenizdir Urartular Ermeni halkının atalarımıdır? Urartu krallığı Ermeni asıllı devletmiydi? Vereceğiniz doğru cevaplar için teşekkür ederim 🖐️

[Ersen_abiniz]

Most of archelgolists said urartians were descanders of armenians, but we could say they were anstolian

[MausOfTheHouse]

Please do one about Georgians, thank you.

[koseku]

hi im %71 urartian, im from eastern turkey. i love van museum

[papazataklaattiranimam]

I can't understand they call Northern African DNA as Sephardic Jewish :))

[serkankinden]

I was suspicious about armenians may have been related to scythians, but as we have seen they are not related to scythians, instead they are almost ancient anatolian west asian and proto european.

[Jack-fqph]

Armenians and assyrians are closest to Urartians ❤
