Shivini

Shivini (Urartian: π’€­π’…†π’„Ώπ’Œ‘π’„Ώπ’‰Œ, romanized:Β dΕ‘i-i-u2-i-ni), also known as Siuini, Artinis, Ardinis, was a solar god in the mythology of the Iron Age kingdom of Urartu in the Armenian Highlands.

He was depicted as a man on his knees, holding up a solar disc.

[2] Armen Petrosyan and other scholars argue that his name derives from a Hittite source, and is, therefore, of the same Indo-European origin as the names of Ancient Greek Zeus and Roman Jupiter.
