Abstract :
Abstract This book review is written based on the book " History of Urartus" written by Mohammad Rahmanifar (2017). According to the sources mentioned in this book, the Urartu civilization is one of the old civilizations of the Azerbaijan region, and the language of the Urartu people was a fusion language and was similar to the language of the people of Azerbaijan today. This civilization has nothing to do with Armenians, but after the war between the two Turkic peoples with fusion language of Saka and Urartus, the Armenians had the opportunity to enter the Urartu country and take over their civilization. All description of clothes and artistic skills, weapon making, architecture and dairy products are all similar to the clothes, architecture, weapon making, dairy products and art of Azerbaijan. Urartu architecture has influenced the works of Medes, Persians, Parthians and even Romans, just as the architecture of Azerbaijan has always been influential in Iran, India and Ottoman after the Islamic period (Ghorbani, 1400). Also, Urartu is derived from the Turkish word Eratta which means mountain. As the cradle of civilization, Azerbaijan is the place where the Garden of Eden is located, and according to Dede Korkud's book, all the Turks have migrated from Azerbaijan to other places, and it is also said in the Avesta that Ahura Mazda created Azerbaijan for the first time, all of which show the antiquity and history of Azerbaijan.
