The last point of our city tour is the Historical Archaeological Museum - Fortress of Erebuni, where 2- millennium history of Yerevan began! In 1879, a large stone covered with Urartian cuneiform was found on Arin-Berd. The inscription said that in 782 BC the king of Urartu Argishti I ordered to build a fortress. And this fortress was called Erebuni. So archaeological excavations have revealed the mysterious history of Yerevan to the world.
