A modern re-imagining of the extent of the ancient Armenian Kingdom of Urartu, believed to the height of the extent of greater Armenia approximately 860-590 BCE.

The map was the culmination of decades of research by Suren Yeremian, cited as one of the if not the greatest Armenian historical geographer of the 20th century.
The map bears substantial detail never recorded previously, including ancient districts, the names and sites of important settlements and the sites of major battles. The Kingdom was known for its rivalry with the Assyrian Empire. It was finally conquered by the Persian Medes after centuries of conflict.

This map was originally published in 1960. This edition was issued by the Yerevan University Press in 1980.
