There is plenty of treasure in every part of Garadagh Mountain, which is inherited to us. However, much of the treasure is still unknown. Some of the identified treasures are Shirbeyt Castle and Shusha (Shisheh, i.e. glass) Urartian Inscription in the heart of Eastern Mountains of Ahar.
Shisheh Inscription (belonging to Urartians) is located in the heights of a village also named Shisheh on the way to Vargahan Village (East of Ahar).
