Shivini or Artinis (the present form of the name is Artin, meaning "sun rising" or to "awake", and persists in Armenian names to this day)〔Turner, Patricia and Charles Coulter. ''Dictionary of Ancient Deities''. Oxford Univ. Press US, 2001. pp. 71, 268, 399, 461.〕 was a solar god in the mythology of the Urartu. He is the third god in a triad with Khaldi and Theispas. The Assyrian god Shamash is a counterpart to Shivini. He was depicted as a man on his knees, holding up a solar disc. His wife was most likely a goddess called Tushpuea who is listed as the third goddess on the Mheri-Dur inscription. Shivini is generally considered to be a good god, like the Egyptian solar god, Aten, and unlike the solar god of the Assyrians, Ashur to whom sometimes human sacrifices were made. == Gallery == Stamp of Armenia m29.jpg|Armenian postage stamp, 1993 Urartu God Shivini.jpg|Shivini god UrartianCaldron03.jpg|Shivini's bronze caldron UrartianCaldron03~.jpg|The caldron's bronze-sculpted handle 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Shivini」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
