Inscription from Taštepe
The Urartian rock inscription from Taštepe was near Cillik in the Solduz plain near Naghadeh in Iran . It was blown out of the rock by Pastor Faber, the remains are now in the British Museum .
On the Taštepe inscription, the Urartian king Menua reports on the construction of a fortress in the land of the city of Mešta and the conquest of the land of Mana. This is probably identical with the Mannai of the Assyrian inscriptions.
