Mannai (English spelling)

They were the first people to establish a state in ancient Azerbaijan in the first half of the 1st millennium BC. They were first mentioned in the records of an Assyrian campaign in 829 BC. They were repeatedly attacked by Urartu after that, but continued to resist and established a unified kingdom in the 8th century BC. In 715 BC, they cooperated with Sargon II of Assyria to defeat Urartu. Their capital, Izirtu, was located south of Lake Urmia (Rezayeh), and they controlled almost the entire area of southern Azerbaijan. The well-irrigated mountain valleys of the Zagros and the Lake Urmia plain were suitable for growing grains and grapes and raising horses, and metalworking was developed.

前1千年紀前半，古代のアゼルバイジャンに最初の国家を建設した民族。前829年，アッシリアの遠征記録に初めて言及される。その後ウラルトゥの攻撃を繰り返し受けたが，抵抗を続けるなかで前8世紀に統一王国を実現し，前715年にはアッシリアのサルゴン2世と協力してウラルトゥを撃退した。首都イジルトゥIzirtuはウルミエ(レザーイエ)湖の南方にあり，南アゼルバイジャンのほぼ全域を支配した。よく灌漑されたザーグロスの山間河谷とウルミエ湖平野は，穀物とブドウの栽培，馬の飼育に適し，金属工芸の発達がみられた。
