## Caption

For decades, Mehmet Kusman has guarded the ancient Cavustepe fortress in eastern Türkiye while mastering Urartian, a language from a kingdom that vanished thousands of years ago. Now 86, he is one of the few people who can still speak and write it. #Türkiye #Urartian #AncientHistory #Language #CulturalHeritage
