this is a portion from the earliest

written legend about the world flood

which has been preserved in Sumerian

sources here the country of errata is

mentioned as the place of salvation the

same story is repeated in the Bible

where the name Ararat is used as another

variation of Arata

the mountains of ararat the country of

Arad the kingdom of Ararat these are the

names that used for Armenia in the Bible

which is noted as the place of humanity

salvation and rebirth

the book of Genesis presents Armenia

during the prehistoric times through the

stories of the birth of humanity there

and the subsequent world flood while in

the following books of the Bible Armenia

is mentioned in the context of

historical events that took place in the

seventh to sixth centuries BC the Bible

in the book of Genesis when referring to

the events surrounding the world flood

calls Armenia Ararat and three

subsequent books of the Bible the

country of Ararat is mentioned in

connection with the events happening in

681 BC when the sons of kings and a

Carib of Assyria murdered their father

and fled to Ararat Armenia

Armenia is noted in a third subsequent

episode in Jeremiah's prophecy in 590 s

BC the Prophet Jeremiah called upon the

great and powerful countries of the

north

including the kingdom of Ararat to come

to the rescues of Jews to help them

fight against iniquitous Babylon

and Mesopotamian cuneiform inscriptions

the alteration of vowels a and you was

very common thus the name of the country

Arad in Assyrian and Babylonian

cuneiform inscriptions was recorded as

the earliest form of the place name our

adopt is reported as errata Sumerian

sources and his dated to events that

took place in the twenty eight to twenty

seventh centuries BC the Sumerian

sources like the Bible presented otha is

the place of salvation of humanity after

the Great Flood research indicates that

errata of the Sumerian sources were

taught to of the assyria babylonian

sources and not of the bible refer to

the same country that is to say those

are the ancient names of armenia in the

middle of the 20th century the earliest

biblical texts were found in the

Palestinian city of Qumran and they also

confirmed that her attitude was the

altered variation of Arad the place name

peridot was recorded with an

intermediate form of Kudarat thus

linking and affirming that are at Arak

and her daughter two are simply slight

alternatives of the same place name

Armenia's also mentioned as Oroku on the

most ancient map of the world which was

created in Babylonian and is dated to

the first half of the first millennium

BC the original map is kept in the

British Museum in London this is the

this is the water round the world and

these round circles are the main cities

label here is the name of Urartu in

Babylonian cuneiform writing writings of

the Babylonians and especially the

Assyrians are well familiar with the

name or are two because there was an

important kingdom in the north of

Mesopotamia called Urartu with whom the

Assyrians had a lot to do including

battle and has changed slightly rash to

our menu was referred to as era dot in

the Bible as well as in subsequent

medieval Christian literature even today

many Armenians lovingly refer to their

country as the Erechtheion country today

in academic literature only one of the

ancient Armenian kingdoms is usually

referred to as our attitude which was

founded around the bastion of on lake

and between the 9th and 7th centuries BC

included the entire Armenian Highland a

number of adjacent regions the capital

of the kingdom was douche pollen that is

why it is also called the kingdom of God

our menu was already recorded as to

around 880 SBC 50 years prior to the

establishment of capital city of toosh

Pavan and continued to be called food

out of two centuries after the fall of

the kingdom of on in inscriptions

written in the Babylonian cuneiform all

the way to 360 s BC for example Armenia

is called urartu in Babylonian language

in the famous behistun inscription z'

which tells about the events of 520 s BC

in an inscription that is repeated in

three different languages Armenia is

called our Mena in Farsi harmony Lea in

Elam I both of which are variants of the

name Armenia and in the Babylonian

Armenia is called dual our menya

continued to be called r2 in persian

inscriptions as long as the babylonian

language was used thus would r2 as one

of the archaic names of armenia was used

in the cuneiform inscriptions of the

ancient world for about 500 years from

around eight hundred and eighty s to 360

s bc only about half of this period

refers to the era of the actual kingdom

of von nevertheless as today it is more

common to refer to the kingdom of on as

errata - which existed from the middle

of the ninth to the end of the seventh

centuries we will also maintain this

chronological order in Armenian history

and used the terms were art - and food

every state is created in any given

established will strong CDs cause beats

a symphony or thousand later Bronze Age

that is to say the middle of the second

millennium BC so the emergence of large

state conglomerates the Russian state

was one of the latter developments of

this process we look at the early Iron

Age that is to say the period from 1200

until 900 BC we see that there was a

singular cultural Malou which covered

all of the Armenian Highland he shall be

ejected Gettysburg in an archaic period

such as the second millennium BC there

were no great means of communication and

there was not a single state structure

which United all of Armenian Highland

thus the existence of a common cultural

unity throughout all of Armenian

Highland indicates common ethnic and

spiritual kinship that was shared by its

inhabitants are watching Adorama TV hi

the beginning of the first millennium BC

the Russian state began to urge it

naturally formed as a result of

processes which began during the 2nd

millennium BC and in the sense it is

very interesting that the system of

dwellings which emerged during the 2nd

millennium found its further development

during the erosion period it indicates

that the Russian state formed in the

Armenian Highland during the bronze and

early Iron Age

at the end of the second millennium BC

and the beginning of the first

millennium BC Assyria launched the wave

of attacks on the Armenian Highland

Armenian state formations

thus were pushed to forge closer ties

and unite against the common enemy three

powerful states emerged during this time

the central and northeastern regions of

Armenia were united around the uttereth

area which gave its name to this

formation in the northwest the state of

yahi Dyke was established and in the

South around the basin of Lake von the

Nike Federation emerged as the most

powerful and United its leadership the

southern provinces of Armenia all of

these three formations were viewed by

Assyria as three different power centers

of the same country and were often

called in cuneiforms

by a common name since the 13th century

BC until the beginning of the ninth

century BC Assyrian sources refer to the

Armenian Highland by the war generic

name of Nighy however from 860 BC onward

the Assyrians started to use gratitude

as common name for all of our minyan

highland this was due to the

strengthening of King Rama of Radha who

extended his rule

the entire Armenian plateau when the

kings of touch Pavan became stronger and

started to rule the territory of the

entire Armenian Highland the Assyrian

scribes called it Buddha dude since as

noted above the Assyrian regarded those

kindred states as simply three power

centers of the same country which was

called by one economy between 1860s and

1840s BC Assyrian sources mentioned our

main theme for our team three times

judging by the available information he

was able to unite most of Armenian

Highland into a single state among his

wars against Assyria one episode is

especially worth mentioning but on a

although had a large army decided to

show resistance in his capital and

instead retreated toward the hills due

to this action the Assyrian King Salman

hazhar the third decided to return home

which indicates that Adame achieved his

objective might occur occur use de

Canterville närcon kavacha told in

Hakata go team give no engine to

withdraw from the capital which was the

center of the country and leave it to

the enemy which was a calculated

strategic retreat was an innovative move

later commanders were hesitant to take

such action for a number of reasons and

it only once again became popular in

military strategy after Russian troops

led by Mikhail Kutuzov retreated and

surrendered at Moscow this was a good

example of the argument made by military

strategists that the most important

element in winning wars not the capital

or the territory but the actual army

that is fighting it and if it remains

intact can recapture the lost territory

some of the scholars identified Adame

the

with the Iram who was the progeny of

highly forefather of the Armenian people

the 5th century father of Armenian

history buffs escort Nancy mentioned

that roms rule was centered around the

audit Valley

according to code a Nazi Tom had

repulsed an Assyrian invasion a number

of scholars believe that the quarry Nazi

combined several kings that were named a

Tom and who ruled during the 3rd to the

1st centuries BC among whom was Aram a

the Who Dat arctan of the Assyrian

sources being a hard-working and

patriotic man he preferred to die for

his country rather than to see how the

foreigners trampled his native soil

after finishing the battle against the

Eastern invaders Tom with the same army

moved upon Assyria and found there

another occupier of his native land who

was named bar Shah Dada waged battle

against him and chased him through the

chord weenie to the fields of Assyria

[Music]

from the 1830s BC Nighy D which was

located in southern Armenia began to

strengthen its position it emerged from

around Lake von bison and gradually

extended throughout the entire Armenian

Highland since the Assyrian Babylonian

and ancient Hebrew scribes called

Armenia by the common name were are two

Ararat the newly emerging Nighy D or the

kingdom of Vaughn was also continued to

be called by this name the kings of

Vaughn in their inscriptions call their

country nyeeehhh D and B ina ie D was

the old traditional name and the name

Vienna was a variation of the name bond

since cuneiform writing does not have

the sound V so the country of vana in

cuneiform is written as Vienna

in 1830 SBC SAR Duty the first

established the capital of touché Pavan

on the eastern bank of lake bomb on a

huge natural rock formation rising on

the banks of the lake he built an

impregnable fortress with high walls and

powerful towers this fortress was

destined to become the capital of not

just the kingdom but that of a great

superpower in Assyrian inscriptions SAR

duty is mentioned as the king of Urartu

and in the records about the foundation

of the capital he called himself the

king of nyeeehhh

in the inscription about the founding of

the city Tsar duty the first is

represented with the titles of Assyrian

Kings

which include the titles like the great

king mighty King king of the world king

of kings probably he took over these

titles after his victories against

Assyria

it is known that his army in 833 BC

successfully fought against the king of

Assyria Salman Azhar the third on the

southern slopes of the Armenian Taurus

Mountains

there was a great deal of debate among

scholars about what was the primary

territory of the kingdom of von before

the foundation of the capital - spa von

based on the similarity of the names

were r 2 and r dot some suggested that

initially the kingdom was centered in

the Arad Valley

[Music]

however this point of view was later

rejected as the inscriptions noted that

the kings of two stove on launched their

raids from the basin of Lake von and

Kings such as Manoa and later Argos T

the first conquered the otter Valley

which obviously showed that the latter

was not their core territory

[Applause]

the other point of view which was put

forward and is the most popular one

today is that the core area of the kuru

kuru kingdom was centered in eastern and

southern regions of late von basin it

was here that the three main cultic

centers of the three supreme gods may

not add any Mousasi kuba knew and

Toshiba

were located to spell was also the

capital of the kingdom of on others have

suggested that the primary territory of

the kingdom could have been situated in

the southwestern part of Lake Fondation

in the region of the Armenian Taurus

Mountains this point of view is

supported by a good deal of evidence and

seems the most plausible especially from

a cultural perspective

the culture of the kingdom of Vaughn

especially it's written culture was

inherited from the kingdom of mitanni

which flourish specially in the 16th to

the 13th centuries BC the actual

territory of Mitanni was southwest of

the Armenian Highland and northern

Mesopotamia this could mean that the

kingdom of Vaughn could have inherited

from mitanni

a number of cultural elements including

its written system thus this could mean

why the kingdom of Vaughn shows certain

cultural similarities to Mesopotamia and

at the same time Asia Minor this is also

natural in light of the fact that the

core area of the kingdom of Bonn was

situated on the crossroad of these two

regions

Assyria fighting for supreme dominance

throughout all of the ancient Near East

it is worthy to mention that beside wars

are key sh t the first made attempts to

achieve this goal through skillful

diplomacy and astute geopolitical moves

as a result of which Assyria was

surrounded and increasingly cut off from

its neighboring territories

thus in pursuit of this policy Argus T

the first conquered the territories in

the western and southern parts of the

Iranian plateau reaching Babylon or the

country of the city Babloo

thus the trade roads by which raw

materials were delivered from the East

to Assyria were cut off and the latter

found itself under a blockade from the

north east and south afterwards

similar steps were taken by Argos G to

blockade Assyria from the West as well

this policy of isolating Assyria was

also continued by rd ste son and

successor SAR during the second

the Kings southwestern policy which

centered on the eastern basin of the

Mediterranean Sea was also important

sardar ii ii was able to reach

unprecedented success in this area which

prior rules of kingdom of von had never

reached Sardar II the second established

his rule over Damascus which was known

as Rua Shu eonni in the cuneiform

sources and spread his control over the

eastern basin of the Mediterranean Sea

from here Sardar II reached Babylon by

conquering territories at joining the

Euphrates valley thus through such moves

he could destroy the power of Assyria

through a virtually complete

encirclement during the reign of Manuel

the kingdom of on became a superpower of

the ancient Near East and thanks to our

more than half a century Sardar II the

however the goal of the kingdom of on to

achieve a long-lasting encirclement an

eventual destruction of Assyria were

never fully achieved in 743 BC the

not able to conquer the capital however

Assyria regained its previous status as

the two superpowers of the Near East

[Music]

there is more praise in our minion

history towards our HD the first than

there is towards his successor Sardar II

the first though the latter was able to

conquer more territories this is mainly

due to two reasons

Argus T remained undefeated throughout

his entire rule while Sardar II the

second sustained defeats and losses

during the last period of his reign

additionally our Guiche t the first was

the founder of a tabbouleh Yerevan which

is the present-day capital of not only

Armenia but one can say the capital of

all Armenians worldwide the conflict

between Assyria and Rho 2 reached its

climax during the reign of king sargon

victories during the wars between the

Syria in Armenia fought during this time

flung from one side to the other

initially kingdom of Vaughn was able to

score several victories in 714 BC Sargon

the second took advantage of the raids

of the warlike Sumerian tribes who

invaded the kingdom LaVon from the north

King rusev the first found himself under

attack on two fronts and suffered

defeats Rousseau the first sustained

territorial losses in the south

however during the latter part of his

reign and during the reign of argos t ii

the kingdom of Vaughn was able to regain

these territories

in 714 BC during his retreat back to

Assyria sargon ii plundered and

destroyed the chief temple of the god

Kali in our Dini

loose a seer according to his own

account

Sargon took from the temple gold and

silver statues which weighed many tons

he also seized precious Goods large

amounts of weapons and ammunition we

learned from this account that during

this time there was an attesting worship

of ancestors

Sargon notes that in our Denis Musa seer

next to the statues of gods were also

the statues of rusa the first father and

grandfather are eesti the first and

sardar e the second respectively both of

whom were crowned with a star which is a

sign of divinity

[Music]

the kingdom of Vaughn continued to

remain as one of the superpowers of the

ancient Near East during the reign of

situation throughout the region had

changed the end of the 8th century bc

new powers had emerged in the region

from the kingdom of vaughn in assyria

increasingly sought to avoid conflict

and wanted to find a more common ground

for cooperation the kings of on

renounced their policy of southern

expansion and focused more on eastern

western and northern directions HT ii is

best known for his military expeditions

in the east which resulted with the

conquest of the territory which later on

became known as Atropa ten-hour gifties

inscriptions that were found on the

notable period in the history of kingdom

his foreign policy and reached the

central parts of Asia Minor after

conquering five countries located in

this area during his Western campaign

more importantly rusa ii was able to

establish close ties and forged an

alliance with the sumerians he

facilitated their advance to the east of

information is known after the reign of

the weakening and the decline of the

kingdom of Vaughan was also caused by

the Scythian tribes invading from the

north when and how exactly a patina

Mabon fell remains unknown this is due

to the lack of information the

inscriptions of the kingdom of Vaughn as

well as those of weakening Assyria do

not possess this information and the

very scant information preserved in

records of the new Babylonian Kingdom as

well as the Bible are not clear whether

they are referring to the kingdom upon

or to the following Armenian dynasty

since both were referred to as food are

regarding the neo-babylonian period we

we do not have any certain informations

about your are to because we don't know

what happened to arrive to after the

second half of the seventh century and

authors believe that urartu was

destroyed in 640 bc whereas other people

want to see a continuity and believe

that iraq to survive until the first

quarter of the sixth century bc there

are several viewpoints today about the

actual date of the fall of the kingdom

of on of these we can reject the theory

that the kingdom fell sometime around

580 SBC

another suggestion that has been made is

that the kingdom fell sometime around

640 s bc due to the natural disasters of

course further research needs to be made

in order to sustain such a theory

however the most probable and convincing

theory remains the one that kingdom of

von fell sometime during the fall of its

arch foe Assyria

I can't vote also has studied them we

know that three states had concluded a

military pact against Assyria three

states were made up of media Babylon and

Armenia fifth-century armenian historian

loves s quarry nazi tells us that

Armenia was led in his Alliance by

career armenian kingdom stretched from

lake von to the Euphrates River

according to court Nazi Party was one of

the representatives of the elder branch

of the Heike our wieder took part in the

invasion of nevada 612 BC which he was

crowned by the king of media a goddess

[Music]

in the Babylonian chronicles the last

and most crucial period of the history

of Assyria is told in details Syria did

not fall after the conquest of their

capital in the day for another seven

years

the Assyrians resisted in order to save

their state their last stronghold was

the city of karkemish on the banks of

the Euphrates River in 609 BC in order

to surround and destroy a commission the

Allied forces decided to attack from two

directions Babylonian army moved from

the south along the Euphrates River and

the me bein army entered Armenia after

joining the allied Armenian army

launched its attack from the upper u

the pincer movement against Assyria

judging from the archaeological evidence

the transfer of power from the royal

dynasty of the kingdom of on to the

succeeding dynasty had taken place

without any serious internal conflict

probably that transfer took place

through a palace coup there is an

interesting traditional account about

this it might surprise many that all of

the important deeds undertaken by the

kings of on in the collective memory of

the Armenian people were merged into one

collective character Queen Semiramis

[Music]

for example Sardar II the first built

the capital city of toosh Pavan as the

armenian historian mobs this nazi

ascribed it to same enemies calling von

built by some dummies

ánewá built a huge 72 kilometers long

canal leaving many cuneiform

inscriptions which attests that its name

is the canal of minhwa yet the people

despite this called the canal the water

of semi donkeys or the canal of semi

tommy's huge cuneiform inscriptions were

left on the cliff on by RG sh t the

first and Sardar II the second yet Cora

not see also ascribed these inscriptions

to semi Tommy's he also ascribed to some

enemies all of the cuneiform

inscriptions of Armenia however we know

that the cuneiform writing system in the

Armenian Highland had been commonly used

only by the king of on this means that

all of the important works undertaken by

the kings of von were combined and

ascribed by the people to the collective

character of semi donkeys

it has its explanation however in this

particular case we are interested about

the actual fall of the kingdom of bonds

fall and find the following element of

interest the manami's in the Armenian

folklore did not turn into a pidgin

escaped like it is recounted in the

Mesopotamian and Greek folklore but

after being pursued by her own son and

soldiers dies on the banks of Lake von

turning into a rock thus the legend

about the death of Sammy Tommy's

preserved in the Armenian folklore could

also contain evidence about a possible

palace coup that took place in the

kingdom of

the borders of every state change in the

course of its history initially of

course there are usually more modest as

we see it in the case of the kingdom of

on during the reign of Sardar Eva first

but during the reigns of ich bui me and

Manoa the borders of the kingdom

expanded and in times of Argos T the

first in surgery the second the domain

reached its greatest territorial extent

after this period that Kingdom returned

to its main borders which remained for

the following century and were inherited

by the subsequent armenian kingdoms and

dynasties that followed

[Music]

the main territory of the kingdom of

Vaughn is seen through an outline of

fortress and fortifications as well as

the locations of monumental inscriptions

made by its kings this is exactly the

same seed where the subsequent armenian

kingdoms also forge their history an

area which rightly so called in the 19th

century by european geographers as the

Armenian Highland

[Music]

the most northern inscriptions of the

kingdom were found in the basin of the

beautiful lake which is known in

Armenian sources as the northern sea and

today is also called children though in

the cuneiform inscriptions of the kings

of on territories which are situated

further north are also mentioned as part

of its territory including Armenian Java

which is today part of Georgia as well

as the territory of kuru hot or cold

of these is basta the ruins of which

approximately 50 years ago were

discovered many of the ancient sites in

this area including the remains of the

temple of God Kali

we have a variety of Eurasian

inscriptions in Iran which have recently

been discovered and are of great

importance may be interesting for you to

know that these discoveries were made

after the Islamic Revolution the

archaeological works were carried out in

certain areas of coins and Sun and as a

result we discovered more than 50

ancient sites tuners etc some of which

are being uncovered as we speak it was a

main borders of the kingdom of on which

roughly correspond with the confines of

Armenian Highland and the spheres of

influence of the kingdom spread far and

beyond reaching northern caucuses in the

north the Persian Gulf in the south and

Asia Minor in the West

[Music]

the kingdom of Vaughn emerged as a

Confederacy of southern Armenian States

and thus played a significant role in

forging the history of Armenian

statehood gradually that subordinate

kingdoms transformed into administrative

units of the state a stable government

apparatus was created with the vibrant

multi tier government system this system

remained in place for more than a

millennium until the fall of the kingdom

of Greater Armenia in the fifth century

AD

the power of the king is the head of the

state was unlimited and was inherited

from father to the eldest son the

supreme authority of the state including

the power of the supreme judge and the

commander-in-chief of the army were all

in the hands of the king he was

considered to be the earthly

representative of the supreme god Kali

and took all his actions in the name of

the supreme deity in this respect the

coronation being one of the most

important events of the state merits

special attention

the king when recounting the story of

how he became a king stated the

following Oh when I said upon my

Father's throne called me bestowed me

with royal power there is a sentence in

one of the texts that notes and

colleague erected for me the tree of the

kingdom thus we see that the power of

the king is closely connected with the

worship of the sacred tree which we

usually refer to as The Tree of Life for

the tree of the world Seth Oren

thoughtful man sorry Josh Tamaki hit so

what about a long link cannot solve a

coincidence that one of the most common

is often depicted flanked by two beings

or divinities

fortunately the description of the

coronation ritual was survived

additionally the coronation Rite is also

presented in the inscriptions of king

how God the rivets at door :

after his coronation the king would

these are quite interesting first he

would plant a new garden

thus this symbolized that he should

first and foremost take care of his

country and only afterwards would he

march against his arch enemy the third

day that the new king had to do was the

erection of a new temple fish none of

[Music]

the kingdom of Vaughn also had the

institution of the Council of Elders

which was subordinate to the king and

served as his advisory body the

existence of such a council in errata is

attested in the Sumerian sources too as

early as 28th to 27th centuries BC

during the medieval times in armenia it

was known as the land council

Junior representatives of the royal

family were given an important role in

the political economic military

religious and cultural life of the

nation the country was divided into

large regions which were ruled by

governors and subjugated countries the

power was often left to the former king

who was obliged to pay taxes and take

part with his troops in the military

campaigns of the kingdom of on

a number of royal agencies along with

their titles were recorded in the

cuneiform inscriptions ie

ruler governor border governor army

commander chief priest among members of

the Royal Court were chief scribe keeper

of the seal treasurer accountant so man

senior Shepherd chief Huntsman Baker etc

the bureaucratic serving staff was quite

large for example the service personnel

of the Royal Palace of Mussolini near to

spa numbered five thousand five hundred

and seven members of these 119 were

scribes and were subjected to the Royal

accountant

interesting information about the

military forces of the kingdom of von

has been preserved during the reign of

ich bui and manoa the army underwent

reforms and the irregular troops that

were mustered during the times of war

were replaced by a standing army the

commander-in-chief of the army was the

king during a war two generals were

appointed as his deputy commanders there

were also regiment commanders captains

and officers of lower ranks

that there was a triumphal military

March which in and of itself was a

sacred ritual the military campaigns

began with a special prayer in a ritual

ceremony that was held in the temple of

County during the ritual the kingdom

announced the objective of the

ritualistic prayers and other rights the

army launched the campaign

in the years of the largest expansion of

the kingdom during the reign of surgery

ii the king records in his chronological

inscription that the total number of the

armed forces of his kingdom surpassed

350,000 understandably this number also

included the armed forces of conquered

tributary countries this is similar to

the later army of the Armenian Emperor

Tigran the great whose army numbered

300,000 soldiers of which only 100,000

were our minions

the soldiers were armed with iron and

bronze swords daggers spears pikes axes

in ancient times when the belief systems

were also a way of life the role of

religion was very important in the

governance of the state the pantheon of

gods of the kingdom of Vaughn was

codified during the reign of King ish

bui knee and was inscribed upon the rock

called the door of mer we learned from

the cuneiform inscription that the

Pantheon was headed by three supreme

gods called the father of the gods the

creator of the sky and earth

Dave Shiva the god of war courage

thunder and she beanie god of the Sun

whose main worship center was in the

capital city of to Scotland there were

also gods of fields mountain seeds and

other elements

the pantheon of the kingdom of Bonn had

a classical indo-european character

it had three tier structure the supreme

chief and secondary gods the pantheon

consisted of seventy gods and goddesses

equally divided into thirty five

masculine and thirty-five feminine

deities and also around thirty angelic

beings the equal amount of the gods and

goddesses shows that in the Arminian

reality of the time the idea of monogamy

was prevalent

only male animals bulls and rams were

sacrificed for all the gods and female

animals cows and sheep were sacrificed

for goddesses there were no exceptions

to this rule this meant that there was

an animal sacrifice for every god or a

goddess according to his or her gender

it is clear that why are minions today's

sacrifice only male animals during the

ritual of sacrifice an ancient tradition

has survived only male animals are

sacrificed since the Holy Trinity of

Christian Armenia is headed by God the

Father

[Music]

it is noteworthy that God called thee

celebrated the first month of the year

was named after the Sun on the first day

of the month of the Sun sacrifices to

all the gods and goddesses were made in

line with the belief that their

benevolence and blessing had to be

secured for the rest of the year the

actual number of animals that were to be

sacrificed to each deity

was inscribed on the door of merit which

during this time was known as the gate

of God

[Music]

[Applause]

throughout history various people's

beliefs about life and death were

expressed throughout their burial

rituals there were three common burial

sites in the kingdom upon the most

common of these was a simple burial

sometimes there were cases of cremation

a far less common practice was the

ritual dismemberment of the body this

practice was also later uncommon to

Zoroastrianism

instead under what great deal of reform

during this period around 600 characters

which were polysemic the subscribe or a

adopting this difficult system the

reform was carried out in Armenians that

a local writing system was created it

simplified the writing system from 600

characters to mere 200 and almost

entirely eliminated the poly semi thus

described in Syria had to memorize about

3,000 words syllables and sounds in the

person to remember about 200 to 300

characters that is to say only mere 1/10

of the characters used in the complex

the language used in the cuneiform

deserves special attention in academia

it was dubbed as erosion being young and

only very limited vocabulary of the

language with about only around 400

roots words have been identified as far

among the more than 600 records the

records have a cliche character in the

language for about three centuries had

heartily underwent any changes which

indicates that it was rather the

language of official records and was not

the colloquial language of the people

the relationship with Kurian language

can possibly be connected with the

kingdom of

power between the 16th to the 13th

centuries bc whose writing system was

possibly later inherited by the kingdom

of on

8th and 7th century BC and the study of

older stages of hurryin because the two

languages separated apparently rather

early presumably in the late third

millennium or in the early second

millennium the existence of a large

number of armenian words in the

cuneiforms of the kingdom of Vaughn can

be explained by the fact that the

inscriptions were made by the local

Armenians

[Music]

among the three main writing systems

used in the kingdom of on only the bi

Union corrosion hieroglyph writing known

as McKenna Gaeta was completely devised

locally this writing system consisted

around 300 hieroglyphs which were

written from right to left and from up

to bottom corruption

Keifer decoding these local hieroglyphs

was found in 1995

[Music]

I saw there some dossier McNab on balsa

grain Jamica today about 20% of these

hieroglyphs that is to say some 60

characters have been decoded and

explained the first results of this

study indicate that the language used in

this writing system of the kingdom of on

was ancient Armenia jelena been hiding

what many years ago one of the imported

non Armenian cuneiform systems used by

the kingdom upon was deciphered

some scholars assumed that since this

writing system which was one of three

was not in Armenian this is indeed a

very weak even absurd argument since the

ethnic composition of any state cannot

be indicated by the official language

used in its writing system a good

example of this would be medieval Europe

where the official records of all of the

European states were made in latin using

this argument and logic all of the

medieval European states should be

considered Latin in their origin and

ethnic makeup the issue of ethnic makeup

of the kingdom of Ararat yatin also

became the subject of various political

speculations we will not dwell upon some

of the most outlandish theories put

forth by certain falsifiers of history

and who have been rightfully identified

as such by other scholars one thing is

certain the state can be identified with

the ethnicity that created it and whose

interests it represented

the kingdom of Iraq Iraq - most

certainly represented the interests of

the Armenian people and its work of

unifying all alarm Ania not only lasted

during the period of the kingdom of

Vaughn but continued on during the

subsequent millennia of Armenian state

formations and dynasties fortunately

some of the important achievements made

during the kingdom of food are to have

been preserved there were two types of

arithmetical systems one based on a

hieroglyphic model and the other one on

a cuneiform one in the hieroglyphic

model the numbers were written as points

circles and contingent signs this was a

unique Armenian system that was devised

in the Kingdom of bomb that did not have

a parallel in other places of the

ancient Near East where numbers were

indicated with lines or cuneiform like

lines

this is the case in the Egyptian system

in the hit even horrible if ik system as

well as in the cuneiform writing system

of the ancient Near East and only

Armenian hieroglyphics indicate numbers

by points and circles

the other arithmetical system used in

the kingdom move on was based on the

cuneiform model and could allow to write

any given number from 0.5 to infinity

here we see the sign which represents a

half the system was based on the decimal

model and numbers 1 to 9 were written by

using the signs this is the sign for

number 10 for example the number 12

would be written by adding two points

after 10 and 30 would be written in the

sign for number 10 repeated three times

the same principle was utilized to

connote numbers in their hundreds and

thousands there were specific signs that

represented one hundred and one thousand

thus by repeating the sign of one

thousand two times the number of 1

million was indicated another repetition

indicated a billion and so on this

principle could be applied until

infinity this model allowed without

utilizing zero to record any number from

half to infinity

[Music]

the fact that our minion Highland was

the birthplace of astronomy or one of

its birth places was outlined in the

19th century by European astronomers

such as William okok Nicholas Flamel

Carl Swartz Edward monger and others

in their works they trace the origin of

the constellations of the zodiac to

Armenia as they appeared there in the

beginning of the third millennium BC

[Music]

this theory was further strengthened in

the middle of the 20th century with the

discovery of the ancient observatory of

Metz amor in Armenia which was dated to

the 3rd millennium BC the observatory

served as a gazing point for observing

the constellation of Orion known as hike

in ancient Armenian a map of the

heavenly sky with accompanying planets

and constellations was also discovered

on the sub star mountain along with an

astronomical calendar these discoveries

confirm that even prior to the rise of

the kingdom of on there was already in

Armenian Highland an advanced measure of

astronomical knowledge and it is not a

coincidence that in the structure of the

state pantheon the solar calendar also

found its expression

thus the Pantheon had a three level

structure the supreme primary and

secondary gods

the Pantheon was ruled by three supreme

gods and three supreme goddesses

and among them stood the one Supreme God

who was considered the creator of all

thus the number of Supreme gods in the

upper level was seven which corresponded

to the number of days in a week the

second level consisted of six chief gods

paired with the same number of goddesses

making up a total of 12 which

corresponded to the number of months in

a year the third and last level of

secondary gods consisted of 26 gods

paired with the same number of goddesses

the total being 52 this was the number

of weeks in a year

[Music]

another noteworthy number is that there

were 35 gods and 35 goddesses in the

pantheon paired with each other into 35

families this is identical to the number

of days in a month in ancient Armenian

Egyptian and Zoroastrian calendars that

is to say a month in these calendars

consisted of 30 days plus additional

five days Soto Austrian calendars

[Music]

advanced astronomical knowledge is also

attested through the discovery of other

archaeological artifacts particularly on

the bronze belts of the kingdom of on an

interesting artifact found during the

archaeological excavations and presently

kept in the history museums of Armenia

monuments the shape of an extended

hemisphere is covered on all sides with

cuneiform writings it is noteworthy that

the character for God or sky is repeated

for seven times and passes through its

central axis the character of God and

sky was written in cuneiform using the

same character the repetition of the

same character for seven times is done

on purpose there are seven lines on the

right and left sides of the central axis

additionally the hemisphere is sealed

with seven seals impressions on both of

its sides the lower part has 12 lines

thus we here have a very interesting

fact that the periodical figs of 54

Sumerian calendar which in their system

was also is indicated as 2 times 27 we

see the same in this inscription and it

has its parallel in the Armenian epic

we are familiar with the large number of

cities fortresses palaces temples cave

shrines tombs and other buildings from

the kingdom of Vaughn the main

peculiarities of the architecture of

this period is the combination of the

achievements of the pre Eurasian

construction techniques of Armenia with

the traditions of Mesopotamia and Asia

Minor

since the earliest period of the history

of the kingdom of Vaughn

great deal of effort went into

construction of fortresses and other

fortifications so far about 300 large

and small fortresses throughout the

territory of the kingdom have been

discovered these along with mountain

chains which served as natural barriers

made the country very hard for the enemy

to penetrate we get a sense of their

exterior design by looking at some of

the art of the kingdom which often

depicted these fortresses

it is interesting to note that even

though the kingdom of Vaughn controlled

vast territory stretching from the North

Caucasus to the Persian Gulf and from

the center of the Iranian plateau to the

center of Asia Minor the kings of Ararat

only built major fortresses on the

territory of the Armenian Highland that

is to say they mainly fortified their

native land in the center of the

fortress cities was usually a massive

Citadel surrounded by two or three

layers of walls the Citadel contained a

temple of the Supreme God of the nation

as well as its governor's palace and the

military barracks the dwellings of the

inhabitants were built around the

Citadel and it's layout was based on a

general plan which was made up of

well-defined linear and parallel streets

one of the most characteristic features

of arathi and architecture is one that

has only been recognized for about the

last 40 years I'm referring to the

standard karate and temple which was

usually dedicated to the god haldi and

this kind of temple interestingly enough

was nearly always placed on the highest

point of the mountain it would be higher

than the palace because it was the the

house of the God and the form of this

temple was a square with buttress

corners and the walls were very wide 3

meters 15 or something of that size and

so we believe that it was at our temple

that went up to a great height perhaps

16 meters or something of that kind it

would have been a very monumental

structure always placed on the very top

of the mountain

the regulation for the construction of

sacred architecture was also important

they were mainly made up of two

categories temples and gates of God

I suppose one of the outstanding

features a variety in monumental

architecture is the fact that it grew up

and flourished in a mountainous terrain

in a mountainous country so the rock of

the mountain was the foundation on which

the arathi an architect and builder

relied and for example many times an

erosion fortress would be placed on the

spine of a very narrow hill so that the

arathi an architect learned to build in

very confined spaces and to go

vertically upwards or to go to greater

lengths to get monumentality but he

could build fantastic structures in in a

very small area on the rock of a

mountain which were carved upon cliffs

of exceptional importance is the chief

temple of supreme god kali in rd mimosa

Sur which was founded in the 8th century

BC unique in its architectural forms

became known thanks to one of the very

leaves found in the palace of the

assyrian king sargon ii the main facade

is depicted on the reliefs showing its

central pediment and six columns

directed on the high pedestal the temple

has a high pediment a double slanted

roof decorated with an accurate Aryan it

is in a form of The Tree of Life which

symbolized the eternal nature of divine

power it is very likely that the white

spread motif of the air criterion that

is so prevalent in the greco-roman world

derives its origin from architecture of

Karachi

the temple of our Dini Musafir which

it's double slanted roof and triangular

pediment is the oldest among the pillar

the temples of the ancient world

indeed leading scholars and architects

have traced the spread of food artisans

temple building style later known as

parapet owes to Asia Minor and from here

to Greece Rome and eventually to other

parts of the world

[Music]

the most famous among the gates of God

is of course the door of mer here the

complete pantheon of the gods and

goddesses of the kingdom of on is

recorded this gate and other similar

constructions are called in the

cuneiform inscriptions as the gates of

godly thus it is not surprising that

some scholars have brightly seen similar

attributes between the two deities

called the and Muir and Mitra the name

Cogley probably meant the god of

illumination and the God of love which

is completely in line with the

attributes and epithets ascribed to the

God who near Dimitra it is noteworthy to

add that many scholars agree that

Mithraism entered the Roman Empire from

Armenia around the 1st century AD the

cult of Mira in Armenia in its

early manifestations was associated with

the god Kali and earlier with the god

Mitra of baton

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

the oldest monument of the gate of God

that has been discovered so far was

found at ashitaka it is situated between

the lakes lawn and oomiya it is known to

the locals as the door of a short a

resident of a nearby village an old

Kurdish man recounted an anecdote

ascribed to the origin of a show doctor

long ago the Armenians had a king who

was named a short he was powerful and

thanks to him his country prospered but

King a short was not happy with the

behavior of his people locked himself

inside the cliff ever since this clip

was named after him the door of a short

a Kurdish man added if you really know

the exact reason of why he became angry

with his own people you have to ask the

Armenians interestingly enough even

after 100 years of the Armenian Genocide

when most our minions were killed the

Kurds

picked up the original Armenian oral

tradition and passed it down from

generation to generation this is the

same story of the door of mayor of the

Armenian epic Daredevils of siloam in

which the hero mayor upset at the wrongs

and in justices of the World closes

himself inside the cliff which ever

since bears his name as the door of men

our king a shot who in this case is used

as a substitute for mayor embodies the

collective memory of the last greater

minion

of the back rottenness as the name our

short was the most common name among the

kings of his dynasty and was the name of

the dynasty sound

[Applause]

[Music]

when looking at these monuments which

are called the gate of God one cannot

but not to think about the millennia of

history that are linked through them the

Sun God at near Mitra the hero of the

Armenian national epic mayor the kingdom

of Ararat karate of the nineteen

seventies BC the bhagirathi Kingdom

which existed in the 9th to 11th

centuries ad and finally today 100 years

after the Armenian Genocide these

monuments are witnesses and still carry

the memory up to whom this land actually

belongs

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

besides monumental architecture

refinement of stone in erotic to reached

high levels of development in the

spheres of sculpture and production of

household goods the stone statues

reached a great deal of sophistication

the most notable of these were the seals

made from various minerals which often

depict images such as The Tree of Life

Lions chariots and other scenes

[Music]

many household items including basins of

various shapes and sizes pipes borers

craters and other implements were made

from relatively soft stone types stone

processing was also widely used in

metallurgy casting molds were often made

of stone

[Music]

[Applause]

Oh

one of the most important manifestations

of the art of the kingdom of on were

frescoes both religious and secular

scenes were depicted in the frescoes of

Ararat or r2 that adorned temples

palaces and other buildings it is

evident from the preserved remains of

these frescoes that images on the walls

often had a single-edged ornament that

consisted of several years these depict

rosettes step towers tree of life

animals mythological creatures as well

as other ladies and figures the military

and the political strength of the state

mostly depended on the level of its

economic development the kingdom of

Vaughn reached great results in the

sphere of agriculture and various crafts

the creation of a network of irrigation

canals was one of the most important

achievements of the kingdom along with

successes in developing new gardening

techniques exceptional results were also

recorded in winemaking the excavated

wine cellars have yielded enormous jars

which have a capacity of several tonnes

[Music]

the tradition of winemaking in the

Armenian Highland is very archaic

[Music]

here in Edenton the world's oldest

winery in a cellar were discovered

the oldest leather shoe was also

discovered here they are carbon dated to

more than 5,500 years ago

[Music]

in the mountainous and Foothill areas of

the kingdom of adhiraj cattle breeding

animal husbandry was prevalent the

crafts in trade were highly advanced and

naturally this helped the growth of the

economy the rapid economic growth was

also greatly boosted by the exploitation

of the rich metal mines and the

widespread usage of metal tools our

median highland had an ancient tradition

of metal processing this is affirmed by

archaeological excavations as well as

written records during the kingdom of

von period metal production reached new

heights especially in the production of

arms and armor various shields helmets

swords daggers spears body armor axes

clubs bronze belts and other weapons

have been found

these artifacts correspond to the

depictions of the soldiers of errada -

errada by Assyria and the kingdom of on

the art of metal production reached a

new degree of perfection the

sophistication of some of the gold

silver and other jewelry adorned with

precious stones astonishes the finest

jewelers of today the surviving

medallions from the kingdom of on have a

religious character it's worth to

mention that on to silver medallions

that were found in carnea birth

the head of the God was carved on a gold

frame that was welded onto silver this

is the most ancient or one of the most

ancient depictions of a halo in the

history of world art on another

medallion which is now kept in the

Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York

we see a gold welded upon silver work

depicting in full the god Kali Pahadi

Kol were our Thule metal processing in

urartu was really exceptional many

scholars starting with lemon and a

number of prominent scholars of the 19th

century expressed the opinion that for

example the Etruscan metal production

started as a result of its contact with

Russia and metallurgy burro Chien

influence had a huge impact on the

latter academic Empire corrosion and

metal works were discovered in faraway

Ukraine all of this was pointed out by

piotrovsky Karthi assyrian king sargon

ii inscriptions also attest about the

development and production of metallurgy

in the kingdom of on his troops during

the above noted raid on our Denis Moses

ear in 714 BC plundered nearly 2 tons of

gold 5 tons of silver and more than 100

tons of copper and iron items

[Music]

the processing of iron also has

millennia old tradition in Armenia

during the kingdom of von period iron

was still unknown throughout most of the

world

the prominent British archaeologist sir

Gordon child in the 1950s was surprised

to learn that at the beginning of the

second millennium BC in Arminian the

melting of iron from aura was discovered

and was kept as a secret from the rest

of the world for nearly half a

millennium additional finds have been

made since the time of sir Gordon child

for today at Makaha go to Chun Acharya

Rangoon bonaga very yet commercially

challenging for me so where was the

origin of one of the most important

fields of metallurgy that is to say iron

production located so far the greatest

number of artifacts have been found in

northern Armenia the ancient iron horse

bridle was discovered in one of the

royal tombs and after a very accurate

radiocarbon analysis was dated to 24 to

23 centuries BC at NAVAIR villa their

practical purposes were made satin and

unique indicator

it is also an indicator of technological

skill it is an indicator of

technological skill measured of its

artistic taste therefore for me pottery

is a good measuring rod and an indicator

of understanding a particular

civilization in order to understand the

civilization of Urartu one needs to

understand how this Empire was organized

how it was built economically welcome

semi-final not that but that a victor of

[Music]

the arced of woodworking and bone HG was

also highly developed in the kingdom of

on there are a few very exquisite

surviving samples of the latter

understandably due to its more fragile

nature there are less preserved wooden

items which must have been used

significantly particularly in furniture

production that is also attested by

numerous bronze hollow stands that were

put on the stilts of wooden furniture

which in turn gave them durability

remarkable advances were also made in

urban planning which made the lives of

inhabitants so much easier it is

remarkable that 3,000 years ago the

towns and dwellings reached

extraordinary achievements with sinks

toilets and drainage systems that can

only arouse a feeling of great

admiration this is in light of the fact

that even and millennium or two after

Genocide carried out by the Turkish

government against the native population

of Armenia as a result of which most of

Armenian Highland became devoid of of

its native population and was forcibly

annexed by Turkey of course the

civilization of Virata as a whole is a

very interesting one and one which we

are still working hard to understand

completely

it is difficult to study urato because

the the land of urato is now part of the

land of many different nations and

occupied by people speaking different

languages scholars writing in different

languages it is very difficult to pull

all the strands of arathi and studies

together but we have understood by now

that it was one of the great distinctive

cultures of the ancient Near East

standing with especially the Assyrian

culture just to the south and having

many very special and very delightful

aspects

hirato Dokdo was a kingdom with

beautiful traditions when the new king

rose to the throne the first thing he

would do was plant the garden faced off

against an encroaching enemy that

threatened his realm and in order to

honor the gods and strengthen the spirit

of his kingdom build a sacred temple

their remarkable achievements in

building fortifications and what we we

learned from the inscriptions about

their their water works canals and

artificial lakes the the lengths they

the change of landscape to to turn it

into into a garden of fruit trees and so

forth

this is a remarkable contribution to

human cultural history

[Music]

remarkable observations about the

historic mission of the civilization of

the kingdom of Iraq were made at the end

of the 19th in the beginning of the 20th

century by scholars me ke nikolsky and

Nicholas adults they pointed out that

whatever the virtues of the Assyrian

civilization were its flaws outweigh

them Assyrian Kings cared little about

the value of human life and boasted

about burning tens of thousands of

people alive slaughtering whole villages

and towns and erecting pyramids with

severed heads of their innocent victims

we do not see any such cruel parallels

of inhumanity in the records and

inscriptions of the kings of God about

these scholars underlined this sharp

contrast and pointed out that the

kingdom of Bonn also deferred and stood

out in terms of its outstanding cultural

contributions to the progress of human

civilization and perhaps this is why

Armenia has continued to exist in an

unbroken way carrying those humanitarian

principles from the ancient times of

Ararat to the present Armenia is the

only country that is shown on the

world's oldest babylonian map that still

exists today

always steadfast in facing new

challenges and tribulations

there is something interesting to be

said when you look at the map today

because the places which are named are

either ancient cities or they are areas

where tribes lived important tribes or

they are parts of the world countries in

other words were the tribes who are

named on the map have disappeared

forever and the sites which are listed

which are drawn by the scribe in the

circles all those sites are now ruined

their kings have disappeared their time

has gone they are finished but urartu

which is the kingdom of armenia is still

alive and i think that's a rather

wonderful thing to think about when you

look at that ancient map Arata Ararat

who are - Armenia the history of this

country begins from the time of creation

and remarkably continues in an unbroken

manner until the present Armenia was

noted in many ancient sources as the

place of the Garden of Eden or

terrestrial paradise the place of sacred

wisdom and immortality the place where

humanity was given a second chance and

underwent rebirth after the Great Flood

[Music]

kingdoms are forged and destroyed yet

the sacred values that were created

endure and the sacred names are not lost
