Sargon II of Assyria inherited a serious problem when he came to the throne in 722 BCE: the neighboring kingdom of Urartu. Urartu had grown in power and the Urartians had grown in wealth from trade and from caravans of pilgrims coming to visit the holy city of Mushashir. From their fortress in the mountains, they continually raided and annexed territories in the lowlands. The Urartians were fierce warriors who bred some of the best horses in the region and raised them specifically for combat. ow.ly/z740z
