One of *those* topics.
The first season of excavation in Rabat Tepe led to the discovery of winged goddesses and a naked winged goddess in the region which have attracted the attention of domestic and foreign experts and media. Such winged goddesses were always thought to have belonged to Greece... Another question experts are faced with is using colors during the first Iron Age in this historical site. Besides it is not known yet what the winged goddesses were the symbols of in this region 3000 years ago... Musasir was particularly important during the first half of the first millennium before the Christ and is known primarily from reliefs and inscriptions obtained during the reign of the Assyrian king Sargon the second, who captured it in 714 B.C. According to the inscriptions, Sargon first plundered the palace and storerooms that belonged to Urzana, the king of Musasir, and then seized the even richer contents of the temple of Haldi, the God of the ancient kingdom of Urartu.
