Photographs by Evgeny Genkin Left: Urartian weather god Teisheba, found in 1941 during the excavations in Armenia at Karmir Blur, the ruins of the Urartian fortress of Teishebaini named in honor of the god. He formed part of a triad along with Ḫaldi and Shivini. He is a counterpart to the Assyrian god Adad, and the Hurrian god, Teshub. He was often depicted as a man standing on a bull, holding a handful of thunderbolts. His wife was the goddess Huba, who was the counterpart of the Hurrian goddess Hebat.
