I appreciate learning about this ancient culture. I can't comment on its accuracy but IMO the dramatizations lowered the overall quality with theatre-like sets and actors, and I think the narrator was a poor choice. The production, editing, audio are well done.
6.3Plot summary
Urartu was an early first millennium BC kingdom located in the Armenian highlands. Thanks to its animosity with Assyria, it had militaristic society and is thought to be the first kingdom to convert form bronze to iron weaponry leading Assyria to quickly follow suit. The kingdom is also know for an aqueduct, the Channel of Semiramis, a remarkable engineering feat for it's time. In modern times Urartu was unknown until the mid 1800s. Much of its history is now well documented but as of this writing the story of its beginnings and disappearance are still unclear.

A LOT OF HISTORICAL DISTORTIONS
The film is decent but it has a lot of historical distortions, for example the word "Palestine" didn't exist at that time etc. Brief the documentary was fun to watch but shouldn't be taken seriously because of lack of accuracy in some parts.

Interesting insight into a many times overseen region of the ancient world!
Entertaining and informative view of the age old history of the Armenian highlands and its political dispute over it by Urartu and Assyria.
The ancient world does not solely consist of Egyptians, Babylonians and Greeks/Romans and Persians.
