same time with the first Calendar the God Vahagn was born, perhaps, at
Areg 1 22946 BC. He was the lovely young God, the fighter of evil and
dragons.
The famous Armennian historian Movses Khorennatsi (V century AD)
in his book "History of Armennia" [20] kept for us eleven lines from the
very old ode or epos, the lines about the Birth of the God Vahagn. These
lines are in "grabbar" (Le, in old Armennian), but are understandable also
in present Armennian. These very beautiful old lines I tried to translate (for
this book) in English:
In labour was Sky, in labour was Earth,
In labour was the apricot Sea.
In Sea a soft red reed
In labour was also.
The stem ofreed ejected smoke,
The stem ofreed ejected flame,
And the red kid
Inflame was running!
A fire head he had,
Aflame beard had.
The eyes his were the Suns!
Movses Khorennatsi wrote also that he heard as the folk singers
(ashoughs in Armennian) sang this verse as the song.
Armennian poet and publicist Levon Mirriiannian compared these
lines with the old Armennian sharrakkan (ecclesiastical song) "The Great
Sacrament", written also by Movses Khorenatsi and performed traditionally
until now in favor of Jesus Christ Birth, and he found out that the words of
"Birth of Vahagn" comported with the words and melody of the sharrakkan
"The Great Sacrament"! So the Great Movses Khorennatsi could keep for
us also the melody [78].
The sculpture portrait of Movses Khorennatsi (standing near
Mattennaddarran in Yerevan) is shown in Fig. 75.

Beginning from the period of 23-20 millennia BC Armennians began
to propagate from the Great Armennia (around Mount Ararat, Armennian
Highland, South Caucasus) to the Black, Mediterranean, Caspian seas, lake
Urmia, Mesopotamia and Asia Minor. Everywhere they were the only
population, at that time.
In parallel with the Main or Mother Great Armennian Kingdom
there were formed the new Armennian kingdoms in Armennian (or North)
Mesopotamia, Komagena, Tsopc, Kappadokia, Armennia Minor, Kilikia,
Phoenicia, Old Sumer and other ones. The new kingdoms were formed,
because it was impossible at that time to lead, direct all big regions from one
place, one capital town. All population of these new kingdoms were, of
course, only Armennians, who spoke Armennian language, then wrote, using
Armennian Alphabet.
152
3. 4. THE GREAT ARMENNIA IN 40 - 23 MILLENNIA BC
The Great (Mother) Armennia, the cradle of Armennians was on the
territories around Mount Ararat, South Caucasus and Armennian
Highland, i.e. in latitude limits about 35° - 4r, to the South from river Cour
(Kura), between the Black and Caspian seas and by the longitude to the East
from river Euphrates, including lakes Sevan, Van and Urmia. Including also
Kilikia.
The Great Armennia included the countries: Tayc, Gougarc
with Javvakhc, Utic and Artsakh (in NE part); High Armennia,
Kilikia and Tsopc with Sasoun (in West part); Syunic and
Paitakkaran (in East part); Ayrarrat with Aragatsotn and
Turuberran (in the middle, between Lakes Sevan and Van); Tarron
(at the West from Van), Mokk (at South of Van); Vaspourakkan and
Shirrakkan (between Van and Urmia); Aghdznik, Arustan and
Korchayk-Korduk (in South part)". In Fig. 76 and Fig. 77 the views of
Lake Sevan is presented, and in Fig. 78 - Lake Van.
The main towns were: Artashat (in Ayrarrat), Yervandashat,
Armavvir, Vagarshappat, ErrebouniIYerrevvan, Baggarran, Nakhichevan,
Karrin (Erzeroum), Babbert and Trabzon (in High Armennia ), Vannadzor
(in Gougark), Shoushi (in Artsakh), Gandzak, Tigrannakert (in Utik);
Ashtishat, Bitlis and Moush (in Taron), Van (in Vaspourakkan)
Arshammashat (in Tsopc), Tigrannakkert (in Aghdznic), Ardahan and Kars
(in Tayc), Sis (in Kilikia) and others.
From the old time all over the Great Armennia poetry, songs and
dances arose and developed based also on the rituals in honor to the AR-
Father Main God as well as on the folk traditions.
In Great Armennia from the very old time Armennoid race, i.e.
Armennians - Aryans lived and arose their nation with developed culture,
knowledge, towns, their State (Kingdom with dynasties) from 40 millennium
BC.
Unfortunately in human old history all these were terribly distorted
and said that Armennian nation arose after so-called Urartu in V cent. BC
(only!) from the tribes of Haisa, Armens, Horrites, Chalds, etc. and their
first Kingdom arose in 11 cent. BC (only!). All this is big lie devised just not
to use the words Armennians and Armennia. All these are necessary to
correct.
• All these names of countries are given here, of course, in the form as they came to us.
153
3.41. ARMENNIAN MESOPOTAMIA KINGDOM
The old Armennian name of Mesopotamia is Paddam Aram
= =(tIllWlwu Upwu). Paddam ''pa-d-am the step to junior" (in
Armennian), so Padam Aram means "Junior Aram or Junior arm of Aram
(Adam)" - the name of the first, very old Armennian King and Dynasty.
Armennian Kingdom of Armennian (or North) Mesopotamia was
called also Mittannia (22-13 cent. BC), what in Armennian means:
''mi - tan - ia = the country of the same Kingdom". Here Armennians-
Horrites lived.
Paddam Aram Armennian Kingdom, having also other names:
Harrannian, then Edessian Kingdom, existed from about 23 millennium BC
until VHf century AD.
The capital town was Arhan (arvh-anetown of the Sun worshippers),
which had also posterior names: Arha (Urha, Urfa), Orran ("cradle" in
Armennian) and Edessia (ed-es-Iaethls is my land). The present name is
Urfa (in Turkey). Afterwards, according to the name Orran the country was
called also Osroen.
=Other big towns were Harran (h - ar - an town of the Sun
worshippers), Mtsbin (m-ta-b-In = they are our next kind people) and
Ninnve (n-In-v-e = they are people as me), later the capital of Assyria.
Harran was very old and big town on the crossing of the EW and NS
ways (tracks). According to Bible the forefather of semits Abraham with his
father Farra came from Chaldean Ur· to Harran. It was in about 1680 BC·
[33]. After the funeral of his father in Harran, Abraham (75 years old) went
to Hannahan with his wife Sarra.
Arha (Urfa, Edessia) was also founded in old time (with Harran) by
Armennians much before the Great Deluge. But its old history is almost
unknown yet. At about 3 AD Edessia was rebuilt into the big castle and the
second capital town of Great Armennia by the King Abgar IV Yervandouni to
hinder Roman armies to strike across Euphrates. In the same time Edessia is
famous town (and country) where, at first in the World, Christianity was
adopted (by Armennians). English historian Adrian Gilbert agrees with this.
He repeats the expression ''Edessia is the eye of Mesopotamia" [33, p. 213] and
writes: " •.• So Edessia became the first veritable Christian town in the World"
[33, p. 227]. But he does not say that Edessia was Armennian capital town and
country with Armennian population and Abgar Kings were Armennians of
Yervandouni, the Dynasty of the Great Armennia.
• A. Gilbert wrote that Abraham came in 1680 BC to Harran perhaps not from Ur
Chaldean (Ar Armennian, P.H.) but from Edessia and he was Horritean [33, pp. 392,394],
(i.e. Arrnennian, P.H.). A. Gilbert thinks also that the true Ur Chaldean is Urha (i.e.
Arhan, Edessia) [p, 252].
154
According to Syrian chronicles "••• before 130 BC (when Armennian army
routed army of Antioch Soudet after what Seleucids never tried to come to the
East-side of Euphrates) the dynasty of Aryans came again to the Edessian
throne". Indeed, it was in 163 BC when after a short interruption to the Edessian
throne returned the Dynasty of Yervandouni - Abgarian which was the junior
arm of the Dynasty of Yervandouni (the Kings of the Great Armennia).
Edessian King Abgar n in 63 BC was admitted also by Rome as the
King of Edessia (Osroen Armennian country). He played the important role
when Roman triumvir Mark Krass with big army came to Roman province
Syria in 54 BC with purpose to occupy Parthia and Armennia. Abgar n
allured them to Armennian town Harran and then the joint army of Parthia
and Great Armennia defeated Roman army (in 53 BC) and Krass was killed.
The Great Armennian King Abgar V (12-50 AD), while staying in Edessia
and knowing that Jesus Christ is in Jerusalem, wrote to Him the famed letter
and received His answer in 32-33AD. The texts of these letters are in the book
''History of Armennia" by Movses Khorennatsi [20, pp. 85-86; 12,pp. 177-178]*.
The letter of Abgar V to Jesus Christ
"Abgar, son of Arsham, the King of the country, to You, the Benefactor
and Our Saviour Jesus appeared at Jerusalem country, regards.
I have heard about You and about Your doctoring skill made by Your
hands without medicine and roots. As people say, You make the blinds to
see, the lames to walk, You clean the lepers, banish evil spirits and dragons,
cure the exhausted with long illnesses, as well as You vivify the deads.
When I have heard all these about You I understood that there is one
of the two: either You are the God, Who descented from the heaven and is
doing all these, or You are the Son of the God if doing all these.
That is why I have written You beseeching to cause inconvenience to
come to me to cure my illness.
Also I have heard that Jews are murmuring at you and want to
torment you, but I have the little and nice town which is enough for both of
us".
The letter of Jesus Christ to Abgar V
''The one is fortunate who believes Me, though he does not see Me,
because it is written about Me that who saw Me they do not believe Me, but
who has not seen, they believe Me and find a life.
About that, you have written to Me to come to You. I must do here
everything for what I was delegated. When I complete all these, I shall
ascent to Him, Who delegated Me. After My Ascension I shall send you one
of these My pupils to cure your illness and present life to you and to them
who are with you".
• These texts are also in [33, pp. 222-223], [SO, pp. 40-41] and in other publications.
155
The question is in what language were these important letters? There is
the opinion that it was so-called Aramaean. But it is a mistake. As I argued
in Item 2.15 so-called Aramaean semitic language and alphabet never
existed. In reality it was Armennian language and Alphabet. And
Armennian King Artashes who lived more than two hundred years before
the King Abgar V, wrote in Armennian also. Thus, these two letters were, of
course, in Armennian written language, using Armennian Alphabet, as all
Armennian kings did.
What happened after the letter of Jesus Christ? After His Ascension in
33 AD apostle Thaddevos came to Armennian King Abgar V, to Edessia and
cured his illness (headache) as it was promised by Jesus Christ, as well as
cured illnesses of all Edessian people. After his marvellous recovery King
Abgar V adopted Christianity with all his family and population of Edessia
in 33 AD. Abgar V became the first in the World Christian king and
Edessian Armennia became the first Christian country. So I am sure that
the King Abgar V Yervandouni deserved the title ''the Great".
At that time Israel was in Palestinian province of Roman Empire and
Abgar V sent another letter to Rome.
The letter of Abgar V to Roman Emperor Tiberri
"Abgar, King of Armennia, to my lord Tiberri, Kesar of Romans,
regards.
Although I know you are already informed, but as your friend I can tell
you more with this written message, because Jews, living in Palestinian
province, got together and crucified Christ without any guilt, in spite of His
great boons He has done in their presence - marvels and beautiful things,
even vivifying the dead. You have to know these are not actions of usual man
but of Gods. Because when He was crucified the Sun eclipsed, the Earth
shifted and reeled, and many people have seen as He being dead for three
days, revives. And now everywhere His name by means of His pupils makes
the great beauties as it was done with me.
At present and in future now your power knows to tell (you) what is
necessary to do in connection with Jewish people who made that thing, and
to write to all World to adore Christ as the truthful God. Be healthy."
The letter of Roman emperor Tiberri to Abgar V
"Tiberri, Kesar of Romans, to Armennian King Abgar, regards.
Your friendly letter was read for me", Thanks from us for it. Although
we have heard about that from many persons but Pillat clearly reported to
us about His marvels and that after His Ascension many people believe that
He is God. So I also decided to do so as you thought.
• The expression ''was read for me" tells that the letter of Abgar V to Tiberri was also in
Armennian language.
156
We ordered that each one who wants can deem Jesus also in line of
Gods, and we impend death to them who will backbite about Christian
peoples.
... In connection of Jewish people who crucified Him, about Whom I
heard He did not merit crucifixion and death, but honor and adoration, I
shall investigate this case and requite them according to their deserts..•"
This letter of Tiberri was the very beginning of the process of
Christianity adopting in Rome.
From the second letter of Abgar V to Tiberri
"Abgar, King of Armennia, to my lord, Tiberri, Kesar of Romans,
regards.
But you, lord, be pleased to send another man to Jerusalem instead of
Pillat in order to remove him with ignominy from the post which you gave
him, because he performed the will of Jews and crucified Christ without any
guilt and without your order. Be healthy".
It is known that PiUat was relayed.
The letter of Abgar V to Nerseh, King of Assyria and Babylon
"Abgar, King of Armennia, to my son Nerseh, regards.
I have read the hails in your letter, discharged Perroz from fetters and
excused his fault, so if it fits you, appoint him the ruler of Ninve (the capital
of Assyria, P.D.), as you want.
Coming to the subject you asked to send you that doctor to see and
hear him who makes these marvels and preaches another God, Who is more
powerful than fire and water, he was not a doctor with human art, but he
was a pupil of the Son of the God, the creator of the fire and water, and he
was sent to Armennia land, as it was his lot.
But one of his main friends by the name Simmon is sent to your land, to
Iran. Look for him, find him and you will hear from him, as well as your
Artashes father. He will cure all illnesses and will show the way of life."
The letter of Abgar V to Artashes, King of Iran
"Abgar, King of Armennia, to my brother Artashes, King of Iran,
regards.
I know you have already heard about Jesus Christ, the Son of the God,
Whom Jews crucified, Who died and then resurrected and sent His pupils to
all the World to teach everywhere.
One of His main pupils, by the name Simmon, is in sides of your
country. So look for him, find him and he will cure all ailments and illnesses
in your side, and will show the way of life.
Believe him, you and your brothers and everybody who unaskedly
submit you. Because I shall enjoy, if you, my relatives by body, will be my
close natives also by soul".
157
The texts of above five letters of Abgar V are also in the same book of
Movses Khorenatsi [79, pp. 179-182]. Khorenatsi wrote also that Abgar V
kept all (these seven) letters in his archives in Edessia. Afterwards his
archives were transported to Europe.
Movses Khorenatsi wrote also that the letter to Jesus Christ Abgar sent
to Jerusalem with his devoted secretary Annan (who perhaps was also a
gifted artist, or with him was a good artist"), Coming back to Edessia,
Annan brought the answer letter of Jesus Christ and also His portrait [79,
p.178], so-called "Mandillion", famed and single portrait of Jesus Christ.
Afterwards copies were made, one of which is kept in British Museum.
Thus, Abgar V was the first in the World Christian King and played a
- great role in Christianity adopting and propagation. Staying in Edessia he
was also the King of the Great Armennia (12-50AD), the son of Arsham, the
brother of the Great Armennian King Tigran IT the Great, "King of Kings".
Abgar V died in 50 AD [33, p.227].
I think, Abgar V deserve the title "The Great".
To keep the holy relics, i.e. the letter of Jesus Christ and His portrait
(and all archives of Abgar V), Armennians put them inside the stone laying
(masonry) in the Edessian town gate (about 220 AD) where they were until
525 AD when a big flood took place and holy relics were found again [33,
p.227].
After Abgar V to the Edessian throne came his son Annanne (50 - 53
AD) and nephew Sannattrouk became the king of the Great Armennia (50 -
64 AD).
After Annanne to the Edessian throne in 53 AD came the next son of
Abgar V, Manouk VI (53 - 60 AD), who did not like Christianity and
returned to the old Gods in 57 BC. But Armennian population of Edessia
(and all Osroen) remained Christian.
Christianity was adopted in Armennian Mesopotamia (Edessia) again
in 207 AD by the king Abgar VIII the Great (177-212 AD).
According to A.Gilbert, Abgar VUI the Great had also the title "King
of Kings" and in 197 AD he got a luxurious reception in Rome [33, p.221].
3.42. KOMAGENA". TSOPC, KAPPADOKIA, ARMENNIA MINOR
These four countries (regions) were the Armennian Kingdoms from
about 23 millennium BC and they had sometimes the common Kings. In old
period Komagena and Kappadokia were inside the larger Tsopc region of
the Great Armennia.
• At that time the good artists were in palaces of kings.
•• This word is necessary to read as Kommaggenna.
158
a. Komagena
Komagena was to the West of Osroen (Edessia), on the right side of
river Euphrates.
Main (capital) town was Sammosat on the right bank of Euphrates.
The old name of Sammosat was, perhaps, Saghm(os)at which in Armennian
means: "saghm - os - at= separate holy song or chorale". In Sammosat (as in
Edesia) there were big libraries.
Being in the West of Euphrates, Komagena was sometimes incurred to
occupation from the West, especially at last period when the Roman Empire
and Byzantium arose.
The Kings of Komagena were from Yervandouni Dynasty of the Great
Armennia.
b. Tsopc
The name Tsopc in cuneiforrns is Tsup (Tsoup), in ancient sources is
Sofena.
Tsopc (also Shaouni) was to the North of Osroen (Edessia) and to the
West from Taron, region of the Great Armennia, which was in the West
from the Lake Van till the river Euphrates, and along the river Aratsanni
(tributary of Euphrates). Tsopc in belated period was called also Sophena.
Let me show here the short list of some kings of Tsopc who were (as in
Edesia) the junior arm of Yervandouni, Kings Dynasty of the Great
Armennia:
Sammos (middle of Hl century BC),
Arsham (240-220 BC),
Csercsess (end of ill century BC),
Zarreh (190-175 BC),
Arkathias (middle of n century BC),
Mehroujan (end of n century BC),
Artannes (end of n century BC-94 BC).
In Tsopc there were the big towns Kharpert or Carbert =car - bert=
"stone castle" in Armennian, the more old name of which was
Carput=Car-p-u-t= the place having stone wall",
c. Kappadokia**
Kappaddokia was to the West of Euphrates (in Asia Minor), and by the
NS direction - between Armennia Minor and Kilikia. At the West part of
• ''To put" is kept in Indo-European languages as ''to collect" in Armennian, ''to set, put,
place, stand" in English.
•• This word is necessary to read as Kappaddokkia.
159
Komagena there is the lake Tuz (or Thouz) which means ''fig'' in
Armennian. The Armennian old name of Kappadokia was Gammirc
(Q.wuppp) which means "ga - mireefruit bringer".
The main and old town of Kappadokia had the old name Maihak (or
Mshak) which in Armennian is: ma - z - ak=''the source of force and life".
Afterwards, at the belated Period the town was renamed to Kesaria
(Kessarria), which also came from Armennian old word ''kes - ar"=''half
God"(the old title of Armennian kings), and Kesaria means "The place
(side) of Kesar".
About the Sanctuary in Kappadokia it was said in Item 3.23 (see also
Figures 64, 70-74).
According to Movses Khorenatsi Kings of old Gammirc were from the
Great Armennia Kesar Arram (Son of the Sun) Dynasty.
d. Armennia Minor
Armennia Minor was from the South of Black Sea, until Kappadokia,
including riverhead of Euphrates. Between the Armennia Minor and the
Great Armennia is the mountain ridge ''High Armennia".
The capital town was Ani-Kamakh. Another main town of Armennia
Minor was the port Trabzon (Trapezund). This name in Armennian means
''tr - a - b - z - 0 - n=it gives the beginning of the constructive life". The name of
another big and old town was Sebbastia= "se - b - as - t - iaethe place and town
of the kind love". There were also the old towns Ardassa= ''this is the life
directed to the Sun" and Nlkepolise ''n-ik(a)-o-polis= it becomes the holy
town".
Afterwards at the North part of Armennia Minor emerged (for a short
period) the Pontian Kingdom, dependent on the Great Armennia.
After the genocide of Armennians in Turkey (1915) the main part of
Armennia Minor population (from Trabzon and other towns) migrated to
the East Bank of Black Sea, to the Sukhumi (Abkhazia), Sochi (Russia) and
other sides.
3.43. KILIKIA
Kilikia = ''k - i -Ii - k - i-a = half people (near) water, half people on land
(mounts)"•
Kilikia was a big Armennian state (Kingdom) from about 22
millennium BC until I century BC and then from XI until XIV centuries AD
(1080 - 1375 AD). The mountain regions of Kilikia were the Armennian
160
territories until the end of XVIII century AD [64, p. 28], when the genocide
of Armennians in Turkey began.
Kilikia is on the NE bank of Mediterranean Sea including Cyprus
Island. Kilikia is around Armennian Bay in NE of Mediterranean Sea and
lies to the North from sea up to Kappadokia, and to the West till half of Asia
Minor (Anatolia), Le. almost to the longitude 30oE.
The natural conditions of Kilikia divide the country into two parts:
Mountain Kilikia, where from the West to the East goes the mount ridge
Armennian Tauros, and the Plane Kilikia, laying along seaboard.
The warm climate and other natural conditions are advantageous for
development of people's culture and economic structures. For irrigation the
mountain rivers Pirram, Sar, Kidn (Tars) and Kallikkadn were used.
Transit to Kilikia is possible only through some mountain gates as
Kilikian Gate (Fig. 79) and Syrian Gate. These gates and other places were
secured by castles: Lambron, Vakha, Korrikos, Levonkla (Fig. 80a, b, c, d),
Kapan, Berdous, Annazarba, Romkla.
The capital town of Kilikia is Sis, where until now is the Armennian
Patriarch, Catholicos of Kilikia.
Other old and big towns are: Tars, Annazarba, Hajen, Drazzark,
Kappan, Zeytoun (Ulnia), Berdus, Marrash, Skevvera, Mousaller and
others.
The ports-towns are: Hayas and Aleksandretta (in Armennian Bay),
Addana (on river Sar), Korikkos, Selleukia, Kolonop (on the bank of the
sea).

Kilikia was a great marine country. Kilikians, using growing here the
best wood-material, built big (even up to five decks) marine ships and
together with Phoenicians (another Armennian great marine country) they
sailed across seas and oceans to the far ''terra incognitas", up to America at
old time. Now some of their big ships were found in Egypt (Giza,
Alexandria, into the sand).
Some Kilikian (old Armennian) beautiful songs came to us. I shall just
say about two of them: "Kilikia" and "Captain".
In song "Kilikia" author tells about the beautiful Armennian country
Kilikia, the country, which gave him the Sun (means life). Being out of the
country and homesick, he wants to return and to see Kilikia again.
The song "Captain" (Nav-a-var - ship leader) is about the captain of
fisher-ship, who is a bold man going to the sea in front of the storm and
being not afraid, because he was born on seaboard and all his life spent in
sea as his father and brothers.
Kilikians were Armennians and used, of course, Armennian language
and Armennian Alphabet" when it arose", The same were Phoenicians. So
the opinion of M. Rimshneider [61] that Greeks adopted Phoenician
Alphabet from Kilikia (See PART 2) is fully right, because Kilikia is closer
to Greece than Phoenicia.
Archaeological excavations are almost not done in Kilikia, so about old
time history we have not real information. For belated period all kings of
two Armennian Kilikia Dynasties: Roubinnians (1080-1225 AD) and
Hetoumians (1226-1875 AD) are known (see Table of Armennian Kings).
The last Kilikian king, Levvon VI (1374-1375 AD) died in 1393 AD in Paris
and was buried in Saint-Denis Basilica (Tomb N55).
3.44. PHOENICIA (AND HARRIES)
Phoenicia (CI>Jnlfip1Jl1w =tPeJ-rllfiepeqepew= hunlunnup hu nlfihu' 1'111
(bnqwJPfi) qhut! L. luwfiPt! (gwuwp{!)) is in Armennian: ''I have equal: the
(sea) half and the life (land)".
Phoenicia was an Armennian State (Kingdom) from about 20
millennium BC until I century BC.
Phoenicia was at East bank of Mediterranean sea in the place of the
present Syria, Palestine, Lebanon and Israel.
=The main old towns were:
Tir ( m ep e p = uWptlqwfig mhIt wfinq) the place given for men,
• This is affirmed also by Armennian letter inscriptions on coins of Kilikian Kings.
•• Beginning from 10 thousand years ago (see PART 2).
163
Sidon (u·p-Il-n-fi = fiw umpp mhq uWJUllltfi dnmpq) = it is holy place
close to man,
=Bibl (p-pep-.. = lwtl pwppp uWJUllltfi phpntl) good property-bringer to
man,
=Jerusalem = h-ar-i-sa-gh-e-m = (hewp-p-uweq-h-u) = wpLt! lllwlUlllIl
uWIUlqwfig tntpJwfi uw Uhb qhfimpnfi) this is the big center of the Sun-
adoring men entity.
= =Jerusalem was established at VI millennium BC by Armennians-
Harries (hari h-wep-p the Sun adoring men) who came from the Great
Armennia and lived in the South part of Phoenicia, on the territory called
=Harit the place of the Sun adoring men. So to call them Horites
(hwppmfihp, hntppmfihp) is not right. It is necessary to call them Harries, Le,
Armennians, who were living in Harrit (hwppfihp, unqpnq ~wppmntu).
Phoenicia and Kilikia were the Armennian great marine countries.
Their hardy sailors and scientists, using big marine ships, researched
overseas far lands, even America and Antarktida at VIII-VI millennia BC.
In Central America they taught local tribes culture, built there the Sun-God
temples and ziggurat-type pyramids (see Item 3.25).
Afterwards Phoenicians built also another famous town Carthagen in
the African bank of Mediterranean sea. Further this town with its lands
grew and became a big state. The word Carthagen means: pwp- p- w-q- h- fi
= pwpp tqhu hwtlhpd"fit qhqhgpq hqun] fiw = it became eternal as stone, and
nice.
Phoenicians (and Harries) were Armennians and used, of course, the
Armennian language and Armennian Alphabet. The opinion that all other
Alphabets of the World came from Phoenician Alphabet is right, but it will
be more correct to say that all other Alphabets came from the Armennian
Alphabet, because the Phoenician one was the same Armennian Alphabet
and Phoenicia was just a part of the Old Armennia.
Armennian old history is thrown out from all-human old history.
Therefore, in human old history there are many problems, when there are
facts, which do not have explanations.
Such facts are also the ruins of very old temples and pyramids in
Central America and towns as Machu-Pikchu, the age of which is more than
six thousand years (so, much older than civilizations of Maya, Aztecs, Incas).

3. 5. THE GREAT ARMENNIA IN 23 - 10 MILLENNIA BC.
3.51. SCIENCE AND CULTURE
At the period of 23-10 millennia BC Armennians already had enough
developed science, technology and culture.
Astronomy
The Sun, Moon, Stellar Sky and their motions attracted Homo
Sapiens's attention even from the very beginning, in the 50-40 millennia BC.
Step by step their knowledge grew and accumulated.
Armennian civilization arose in about 40 millennium BC. The
knowledge, accumulated during thousands of years, gave the possibility
approximately in 23 millennium BC, using simple astronomical instruments,
to define that one circle of Sunrise point motion along the horizon, Le. one
year, consists of 365 days and to establish the first Armennian Calendar (see
Item 1.17). We can suppose that as the beginning of the year was chosen the
Sunrise moment (6 o'clock) on the spring equinox day (March 21). This is
the most probable variant. We can also suppose that one year was divided
into 12 months and the stellar way of the Sun was divided into 12 parts (Le.
constellations).
We can deem conditionally that all these events took place in 22946 BC,
accounted as 14 Armennian periods (1461 year) before Kesar Hayk's victory
in 2492 BC (14 x 1461+2492=22946).
Armennian astronomers, searching the Sky during thousands of years,
had to descry that the Sun slowly changes its position relatively to stars
(with velocity 2160 years per each Zodiacal constellation), Le. they knew the
phenomenon of Earth Axis Precession in about 11 millennium BC (see Item
1.22).
Technology
Armennians had a big progress in building of houses, settlements and
towns, in technology of stone treatment and its using in houses and temples
building. They made good instruments from stone, wood, clay and other
materials. They also began to use the metals, found in meteorites, bolides
and in mountain quarries. There were the instruments of much higher
quality than excavated thousands stone instruments having age of 300-50
thousand years.
Armennians invented and used powerful machine cranes to elevate
heavy stones and developed the technology of houses and temples building.
The food and clothes production technologies were also developed.
165
Agriculture
Besides apple, grape (vine), apricot Armennians began to breed the
wheat and had the technology of bread baking, using the inside surface of
the big clay cylinder called "thoir" in Armennian. All these were the first in
the World.
It is interesting that till now in Armennia three types (from four known
in the World) of the savage wheat are growing. So Armennia is the
homeland of the wheat.
Domestic Animals
Apart from sheep, hen, dog, etc., Armennians domesticated also the
horse, cow, bull, goat, pig, cat, etc. All these were at first in the World,
because any other nations and civilizations were absent yet.
Armennians used horses and bulls as powerful draught force in farm,
agriculture and house building. There are many petrogliphs (carved
pictures of IV mill. BC) in mountains of Armennia with two-axis carts and
harnessed bulls (Fig. 61). Afterwards, in 111-1 mill. BC, more developed carts
were in use (Fig. 81).
Beginning from 111-11 millennia BC, when wars arose, Armennian
cavalry was well known everywhere as the best. Iran and other countries
purchased tens of thousand horses in Armennia per year. So Armennia is
the homeland of the domestic horse.

Written language
In about 23-22 millennia BC in Armennia the first written language
arose (pictures, symbols, then hieroglyphs), which after 10 mill. BC was in
use also (in parallel with Alphabet) for a long time , until III millennium BC,
as it is on rocks in Metsamor, the big metallurgic center (3600 BC) at
distance of 25 km from Yerevan, in Ararat Valley [92].
166
Armennian Alphabet
Armennian Preliminary Alphabet arose at 12-10 millennia BC. I have
found out 19 letters of Preliminary Alphabet using the requirement: each
next added letter has to form maximal possible quantity of new Armennian
words (see Item 2.11). I put these letters in two lines with 10 and 9 letters in
each line (Table 15), and was very surprised receiving two old sentences and
finding out the similarity between the forms of letters and figures. These two
results mean that:
- the finding of 19 letters of Preliminary Alphabet is correct,
- the figures 1, 2, 3..• 9, 0 are Armennian figures, coming from the old
Preliminary Alphabet (X millennium BC).
In Carahunge time, VU-VI millennia BC, Armennian Alphabet became
more developed and included about 34 letters (see PART 1 and 2).
Culture
From the very old time began to develop Armennian Poetry, Songs and
Dances.
Somewhere in 23 millennium BC arose the Armennian Epos (also in
songs) about the God Vahagn, fighter of evil and dragons. In Item 3.3.
eleven lines from that Epos about birth of Vahagn were shown.
We can suppose that somewhere in 10 millennium BC arose the
beginning of the famous Armennian Epos "Sassountsi Davvith" or David of
Sassoun, about the hero who protected Armennia. His sculpture in Yerevan
=in Fig. 82 is shown. In the beginning of this Epos Tsovinnar (c)m.[ -11-liwl1
The leader of sea people), the daughter of Armennian King, took two palms
of water from the spring in sea, drank it and gave birth to two heroes:
Sannassar and Bagdassar.
Afterwards (and until now) Armennian poetry, music, songs and reels
have been very developed in Armennia, and then were adopted by many
other nations. For example, Indian old Epos "Rammayana" begins as the
said Armennian legend about Tsovinnar; Scotch, Irish and Welsh folk
music, songs and reels are very close to Armennian ones; the sources of
European ecclesiastical and classical music are in Armennian ecclesiastical
and folk music.
It is obvious that the fast development of further civilizations in the
World was under influence of the Armennian old civilization, including its
Astronomy, Mathematics, Technology, Agriculture, Culture, as well as
Armennian old State (Kingdom) with Laws and Order, which were much
more developed.
167
3. 52. ARMENNIAN SUMER (JUNIOR ARAM KINGDOM)
In about 14 millennium BC (and earlier) Armennians came to the
South of Mesopotamia, and founded the Junior Aram Armennian Kingdom
(or Armennian Sumer) in the place shortly called also Sumer (su-mer =
sa-mer = uw Uhpfi (t) = ''this (is) ours" in Armennian). They followed
agriculture, had many domestic animals and built towns.
G. Hancoc tells very old legend, where according to Haldean historian
Beros ''The tarn Gods came to the Sumer country at very old time. The
name of their leader was Oannesh. He gave to Sumerians the knowledge of
literacy, science and of different arts. He taught them to build houses and
temples, to form laws, explained them basics of geometrical knowledge. He
taught them agriculture and humanism. His teaching was so universal that
from that time it was not necessary to add something more vital" [24, pp. 77-
78].
I can add here that the name Oannesh is the Armennian name
Hovannes, which means ''h - 0 - van - es = I am worshipper from holly Van",
from the Lake Van in Armennian Highland.
The Russian archaeologists V. Batsaev and A. Varrakkin write that the
excavations of Sumerian towns show that their culture was based on the
high culture of other prior nation which was not Sumers and whose high
culture, according to famous English archaeologist L.Voulli, existed before
the Great Deluge [82, p. 19]. L. Voulli wrote about that old nation: ''It was
their culture who lived before the Great Deluge••• With many other values
they gave Sumers also the legend about the Great Deluge" [82, p, 19].
Who were those high-civilized people? V. Batsaev and A. Varrakkin
write also: "Presumerian inhabitants of Mesopotamia could bring
Sumerians from primeval condition to high civilization. It was they, who
changed stone instruments to metallic ones and made luxury objects•••To-
day we know exactly that these people were not Sumers, and not Sumerian
were the names of Sumerian towns: Ur, Erridou, Larrak, Urouk, Nippour,
Kish. These are the names from the radically other language... Not
Sumerian were also the names of professions in old Sumer: farmer,
carpenter, merchant."
Indeed, who were those old and high.civilized people and what
language did they use? They could be only Armennians, because only
Armennians at that time had necessary high level of civilization and the
names of all seven Sumerian main towns have easy explanation in
Armennian. Let me show this (see Table 10):
Ur=Ar=the Sun (the capital of Sumer)
(ntp=Up=Upu, CntUhpp uWJPWpwllwPl!>,
Erridou=Aridou=Ar - i - d - u=the place of Sun people
(f:plupu=Up-P-Il-Ilt=UpLP uWIUlqwfig qWJPt!),
- Larrak=L - ar - ak=the source filled up by Sun
168
(lwpwll=tewpewll=UpLnq 1lJ. Wlln1fill),
Larrsaed.varvsaethls is the good Sun (Sunny)
(Lwpuw=t-wp-uw=uw lwq wpL. (mn) t),
Urouk=Ar-ak= eye of the Sun
(filpDlll=Upewll=UpLP wW),
Nippour=N - i - P - ar=it is the sunny place for man (people)
(UP11In1P=fi-PlIllIewP=fiw (uw) UWPJlDl hwllwp wpLnm mwpwbpfi t),
Kish= K • i - sh=the feeder of many people
(lIP2=1l-P-2=2wm lIwPJlllwfig llbpwtuuuu!).
We can see that the Armennian explanation of Sumerian towns names
is not only the literal translation but gives also the deep understanding of
natural feature of Sumer country: the very sunny place, the "bread-winner"
place (it is possible to have three harvests per year). In the six town-names
(from seven ones) there is word AR (Sun). We know that Armennians were
the Sun worshipers and traditionally had the high agricultural technology.
Let me also say that in the example of this explanation of town-names it
is also obvious the systematic mistake of many scientists who read Sumerian,
Urartian and other words using sound (pronunciation) "ou" instead of
sound "a" (not "ay", but as the middle sound in word "sun"). This error
gives the mistakes as "Urartu" instead of "Ararat" (Arrarrat), etc. Perhaps
this comes from reading of old words (including Armennian ones) in
Assyrrian language instead of Armennian. .
Let us remember here again the words of great English poet lord
Byron, who said: ''It is impossible to study the history of East without
knowing Armennian." Living in Armennian abbey on St. Lazar island, he
learned Armennian and formed the first English-Armennian dictionary and
grammar.
Armennian researcher V. Saffarian successfully read also old Sumerian
pictorial texts in Armennian and he thinks that the right reading is possible
only in Armennian language [83].
The Sumerian epos, one of the oldest in the World, includes nine epic
songs based on historical events of the 28-27th centuries BC. Five of them
contain the name "Aratta" for the land from where the ancestors of Sumers
came. Where was Arrata? There are opinions that it was in Iran,
Afghanistan or Armennian Highland. Armennian historian A. Movsessian
cogently demonstrates that Aratta means Ararat and Aratta land is
Armennian Highland, its part to the SE from Lake Van, which is Harrit, the
country of Harries (Horites), I, e. Armennians who at that time (the end of
ill millennium BC) had, as it is known, their own (l,e, Armennian) Alphabet
{84].
Thus, before the Great Deluge (Le. before 10 millennium BC)
Armennians came to the land Sumer (South Mesopotamia) in about 14
169
millennium BC (or earlier) and formed the New Kingdom, built towns,
practiced agriculture, etc.
The new stream of Armennians came to Sumer after the Great Deluge,
might be in IX-vm millennia BC, told the local tribes about Armennia,
about Great Deluge, taught them culture, science, agriculture, architecture,
the Sun kind religion. Above said seven towns were rebuilt on the same
places on the thick (19m) coat of ooze after the Great Deluge. Afterwards
these Armennians, perhaps, partially mixed with local tribes and the
Sumerian-Babylonian-Armennian people were formed.
Now it is understandable why Sumers, living thousands years after the
Great Deluge, could have legends about the Great Deluge. Historians
G. Smith (in 1872) and A. Pebel (in 1914) demonstrated, that Sumers (and
Babylonians) have had legend about Great Deluge a few millennia earlier of
the Bible [82, p. 18].
3.53. ARMENNIANS IN EGYPT
During XV-IT millennia BC Armennians researched the near and far
lands and seas, and propagated everywhere civilization, knowledge and
belief to the AR kind God. Everywhere local tribes deified them for their
humanity, high knowledge and kindness. Armennians presented to other
nations accumulated during millennia high knowledge, kindness, Indo-
European culture and language as bounteously and unselfishly as their AR-
Father God presented them the life, light and warmth.
Armennians for the accumulation of knowledge (say up to Carahunge
level) spent about 30 thousand years, but other nations (at ID millennium
BC and later) to achieve the same level of knowledge spent about just one
thousand years or less. The main reason of this is that Armennians during
30 thousands years were alone and did not have any teachers.
Approximately at eleven millennium BC Armennians came to Egypt (of
course, there was not any country at that time). The main purpose was to
research new lands and to build a giant monument in favor of their new and
great scientific investigation of the phenomenon of the Earth axis precession.
And they built the Great Sphinx, the big lion with lion face, looking exactly
to the East point of horizon, where twice per year, at equinox days, rises the
Sun being in the Lion Zodiacal constellation at that time. More details about
these you can see in Item 1.35. "The Great Sphinx" (in PART 1).
After the Great Deluge and during the period of draught in Egypt,
Armennians came to Egypt again at 3500 - 3000 BC, and collecting there
different local tribes founded the first Egyptian State. In books of old history
it is said that the name of the first Egyptian king was Menes or Min. These
two names together are very close with Armennian name Minas, which in
170
= =Armennian means: ''meieneas u·pefiewu = Uhb' UWIUlt! fiw wnw2llfi he
(is) the first great man", Le, the first kesar (or pharaoh)!
It is very important to say here that Armennians did not occupy Egypt
but founded in Egypt the first State of Egypt. The word Egypt in Armennian
=mean: "eegeyepet he qe pel.ll em = hqwfi luhtwgp uwPJl11q t!fimpwb' mlum
= the clever men came to (the) chosen place". The local tribes met
Armennians kindly and deified them for their kindness and high knowledge.
They also adopted from Armennians the adoration to the kind main God
AR (RA) and to the SETA (SET), the Goddess of the knowledge and science.
Seta (Zet) was at that time also the name of the brightest star of Hayk Belt,
of kesar Hayk constellation (now star Alnitak of Orion constellation).
One of the old Armennian hymns to AR God is retained in Egypt.
There are a few lines from this big hymn:
0, Thou" who art beautiful at morning and at evening,
0, Thou Lord who livest and art established,
0, my Lord!
0, Thou who art crowned the King ofthe Gods!
0, Lord ofthe Gods,
0, Thou only one... [88]
Beginning from Minas all Egyptian kesars (pharaohs) and the top caste
were Armennians for the long period of I-xvm dynasties, Le. from about
3100 BC until 1600 BC.
The history of Egypt is divided into some Periods.
Early Period (3000 - 2800 BC) when was the first Egyptian State
established by Kesar Minas of I Dynasty; then 11 Dynasty came.:
Ancient Period (2800 - 2300 BC) when was the Kesar Jesser (=
= =2ebeubp jeeeser came (the) nice love) of III dynasty. In 2490-2480 BC
was Kesar Hayk (Armennian Kesar in 2493-2444 BC), who founded
Egyptian the IV Dynasty and built the Great Pyramid.
First Intermediate Period (2300-2000 BC), VII-X dynasties when in
Egypt were Hotites-Aryans (Harries-Armennians, 2200-1800 BC).
Medial Period (2000-1800 BC), XI and XII dynasties, when was the
kesar Armenni and others.
Second Intermediate Period (1800-1600 BC), XIII-XVm dynasties,
when in Egypt were Armennians-Hyksoses, who built the capital town
Avaris.
New Period (1600-1100 BC), XIX, XX dynasties.
Belated Period (11-6 century BC).
• The word "Thou" is singular form of the word ''You'', which is used in English to
address the God. ''Thou'' in Armennian is "dou" (rpn), and "You"· is "doukh" (I}Iltp).
171
Occupation of Egypt by Persians (6-4 century BC), by A. Macedonian
(in 332 BC), then by Ptolomeans (or Hellenistic Period, 4-1 century BC), by
Rome (30 BC - 395 AD), by Byzantium (395-639 AD), and by Arabs (from
639 AD until now).
Present remnant Egyptians (so-called Kopts) living now in Arabian
Egypt are Christians, adopted Armennian (monotheistic) Christianity.
Thus, from the very beginning, from the first King Minas (5500-5000
years ago) until the end of XVIII Dynasty (1600 BC), Le. about 2000 years,
the kings of Egypt were Armennians. They were in the same time the main
priests of Egypt, i.e. kesars. Beginning from XVI century BC instead of
word "Kesar" the word ''Pharavon'' was in use in Egypt. This word has
Armennian interpretation: ~pwqna = $-wp-w-qen-a = bW umpp nUJ1ul
(tuwan) uWIUl UpLP !w$ = ''He holy straight life (person) as the Sun". Let
us remember that Armennian word "Kesar" means "half Sun" or "As the
Sun".
It is interesting also that the names of many Pharaohs (especially of
"Armennian Dynasties") have Armennian interpretations (meanings). For
example:
Toutmos 11(XVI cent. BC) = S -nt-m -u (nu)= Uhb" mwa ntap mbIJ. -His
sit is in big house.
Amenkkotep IV (XIV cent. BC) = bW hqun] Ubb" 4.Jwanp aZwa, umpp
mbIJ.a hqwq mpphg= He became the sign of large life and came and held the
holy site.
Ramses 11 (XIII cent. BC) = Uplat! Ubb" lInmpq hlwq pad = The Great
Sun came close to me.
Nefertiti (Xm cent. BC) = bW mwa mppn2 ppqntana hqun] = She
became the rear of home lord. Probably she was Armennian because it is
known her letter to the father sent to Northern country, where she asks to
give (send) Her metals as a part of her dowry.
There are also many words in Egyptian language, which are identic
with Armennian words. For example: qwIUl (vard - rose), hwg (hats -
bread), upp, uhp (sir, ser -love), unnn (ast - universe, place).
Kesar of the Great Armennia Hayk (about 2544-2444 BC, Kesar in
about 2493-2444 BC), after the building of Babylon Pyramid (Tower) in
about 2526-2495 BC, came to Egypt and built the Great Pyramid (in Giza)
in about 2490-2480 BC (see Item 3.30). He was for Egyptians the Son of AR
(RA), he was in the Sky as Hayk-Arian (later Orion) constellation, he was
the God Osiris (and Ceops, Hu-Fu).
G. Hancock and R. Bauvel in their book "The Message of the Sphinx"
wrote that Egyptologist Selim Hassan during his excavations in 1930-40s
"... uncovered evidence that a colony of foreigners - "Cananites" had
resided in this part of Lower Egypt in the early second millennium BC. They
were from the sacred city of Harran •.. and they may perhaps have been
pilgrims. At any rate artifacts and commemorative stelae prove that they
172
lived in the immediate vicinity of the Sphinx, worshipping it as a God under
the name Hwl" [95, p.4]. Let me add that "Cananites (Harranites) from
sacred city of Harran" are Armennians from Armennian famous town
= =Harran hear-an the town of Sun (AR) worshippers. The word ''Hwl''
=(old name of Sphinx) in Armennian means ''h-w-I worshipper to (of the)
Light (means the AR)".
The Great Pyramid and Stonehenge, and later also Camak,
Stonehenges II and Ill, Calenish and Ammon-RA Temple with the oldest
Egyptian observatory near present Assouan in Egypt were built by
Armennians in about the middle and the end of ID millennium BC in honor
of the great scientific investigation of Armennian old scientists about the
ball-form of the Earth (and of it sizes). There were in Armennia
Observatories, the Sun-God Temples and Universities, as was Carahunge at
the period of more than 7500 years ago until about 2000 years ago (see
PART 1, Item 1.34).
3. 54. ARMENNIANS IN ETIDOPIA
Armennians came to Ethiopia approximately at the same period (after
the Great Deluge) as to Egypt. Probably, at the first time Ethiopia was inside
the first established Egyptian State and then became independent State.
In any case, the ascendancy of Armennians to Ethiopians and
communications between them is obvious.
Still now the Ethiopians use Alphabet, the letters of which are almost
Armennian ones.
In the Great Armennia from the old time until belated medieval period
Ethiopian women were deemed as the best child nurses. They lived in the
palaces and castles of many Armennian kings and lords.
Ethiopians were in close contacts also with other Armennian kingdoms,
as Phoenicia, from the old time. They lived also in Carthagen, which was
built by Phoenicians (founded in 825 BC, destroyed by Rome at 146 BC).
3. 55. ARMENNIANS IN THE NORTHERN LANDS
Before the Great Deluge Armennians propagated and lived at the
North from the center of the Great Armennia, in Virc, Kolhida, North
Caucasus and Crimea.
173
Virc or Upper Armennia
Virc or Upper Armennia was the northern part of the Great Armennia,
the places to the North and NW from the river Cour (Kura), where the
present Georgia is. In Armennian language Virc ('-Q1PIl, qlipllfi) means
''Upper'' and Vmtsi (~wg}1) means ''the inhabitant of Virc" or
"Armennians from upper side, Virc". In present Armennian, saying
"Vratsi" we understand "Georgian" which is a mistake, because present
"Georgians" came to Virc much later and were just a little part of all Virc
population (10 % in 1 921 AD) [85, p.4].
According to literature, the North bound of Great Armennia was along
Caucasian Ridge even at the end of VI century AD [85, p, 33], [86, p. 38].
During the whole time the lords of Virc were Armennians. In 1001 AD the
brother of the Great Armennian King of Kings Gaggik I Bagratouni (989-
1020 AD), lord of Virc Gevvorc Bagratouni became the King of Virc (one of
about 10 Armennian kings of different Armennian regions, who were under
the King of Kings of Great Armennia). Bagrat, son of Gevvorc, became the
King of Abkhazzia (Sukhumi) which initially was called Kolhida [87, p. 605].
Kolhida
Armennians from the Great Armennia, Armennia Minor and Virc
came along the seaboard of Black Sea to the North, to Kolhida
(K-o-I-h-i-d-ar = part of holy God people adoring the Sun). At VI-ll
centuries BC the Kolhidian Kingdom arose [87, p. 605]. It is known that in
1001 AD Bagrat Bagratouni, the son of Gevvorc Bagratouni (the king of
Vier) became the king of Kolhida, which now is called Abkhazzia with main
town Sukhumi [85, p. 39].
Now in Abkhazzia Armennian population is about 60% of all
population. The explanation of this high percentage is also the immigration
after the Armennian genocide in present Turkey, in 1915, on all the
territories inhabited by Armennians including former Armennia Minor
(town Trapezund and others).
North Caucasus and Crimea
Armennians, going ahead to the North along seaboard of the Black Sea
and then to the right and left sides, came also to the North Caucasus land
and Crimean peninsula. They built towns and temples (later Christian
churches), and live here until now. There are now many Armennian old
churches in North Caucasus and the North seaboard of the Black Sea.
Armennians, came in I-ll century AD from Edessian Armennian
Kingdom, founded the town Odessa on the North seaboard of the Black Sea.
174
3.56. ARMENNIANS IN EAST
Before the Great Deluge Armennians propagated not only to the South
direction (Sumer, Phoenicia, Egypt, Ethiopia) and North direction (Kolhida,
North Caucasus, Crimea), but also to the East direction (Iran, India, Middle
Asia) and to the West, to whole Asia Minor (Armennia Minor, Kappadokia,
Kilikia, Hlttite, Lydia, Troy).
Everywhere Armennians taught local tribes culture, knowledge,
Armennian (i.e. Indo-European) language, kindness and Sun religion,
forbade the human sacrifices. Armennians played also an important role in
the history, culture and science of all these countries (as well as in Western
countries).
3.57. ARMENNIANS IN IRAN
Iran is the land which abuts on the Great Armennia from the East side.
= =The Armennian name of Iran was Arran Arean the Sun (sunny)
country. Later Iranian people became the arm of Aryans, Indo-European
people.
At the DI millennium BC the flrst Irannian State was formed. At the II
millennium BC the Old Persian, Avestian and Scythian languages were
formed. Beginning from 9-8 centuries BC the New-Iranian (Indo-European)
languages existed: Persian, Farsi (Dari), Tadjikian, Afghan (Pushtu),
Kurdish, Pamirian, Osetian, Talishian and others.
The Great Armennia almost all the time was in close contacts with
Iran. Some time the kings of both countries were even from the same
(parthian) dynasty: Arshakids in Iran (250 BC - 224 AD) and Arshakouni
in Armennia (62- 428 AD), Le, during 224-62=162 years, and all life of this
Dynasty was 250+428=678 years.
There are many Armennians in Iran also now.
3.58. ARMENNIANS IN INDIA
Armennians at first came to India presumably before the Great Deluge,
taught local tribes the humanity, kindness and high knowledge. And the
formation of Indo-European population in India (Armennlans plus high
caste of local tribes) began. Later Armennians came to India in Ill-ll mill.
BC bringing aryan world outlook and civilization (with epos). In the
beginning of I mill. BC the first Indian State arose in the North part of the
country and in VIII-VD cent. BC the Brahma written language arose on the
175
base of Armennian Alphabet. Sanskrit arose on the same base in IV-I cent.
BC and played important role in India until XIX cent. AD.
In the Indian main and old (also present) Hindi language (Indo-Aryan
group of Indo-European languages family) the word India is Bharrat, which
in Armennian means: Bvh-ur s at = (P-h-Wp-WUl) = the life place of the kind
worshippers of Sun (UP-p ptup]; hpqpUJ.wqntlfihpp tuwfipp qWJPt!).
The oldest civilization in Indus Valley was called Harrappian
civilization (III-II millennia BC). This word in Armennian means "the
Southern" (~wpwtUwfi) civilization, and also comes from the name of
Armennian old and big town Harran (in Armennian Highland), which
means in Armennian: Hvar s an, Hs ar s ap (~-wp-wfi, ~-wp-wUJ.) = the town
(place) of the Sun worshippers (UP-pfi hpqpUJ.wqntlfihpp pWllwP, qWJp).
The pre-Vedic culture in India had genetic relation to the pre-
Harappian culture [105]. The big states Magadha and others arose in India
in the second half of I millennium BC.
At 19th century AD India became the Brittannian colony. In 1950 AD
the independent Republic of India was established.
Indian old epos "Ramayana" begins exactly as Armennian epos
"Sassountsi David", where the Princess Tsovinar drank two times the water
from spring in sea and gave birth to two powerful sons: Sannassar and
Baghdassar.
Armennians live in India until present time (mostly in Calcutta), as
well as in other Eastern countries.
In Fig. 83 the facade of the Sun God Temple Konark in Orissa is
shown. Konark (k - 0 - n - ar - k) means in Armennian: he half holy, half (part)
of the Sun. It is interesting that the Sun is presented here similar with the
Sun descriptions in old Armennian engravings on rocks (as a wheel), see Fig.
56.
Fig. 83. A facade of the Sun God old Temple Konark in Orissa, India.
176
Here are some interesting facts.
In the end of XV century AD the Emperor Akbar, from the Great
Moguls' Dynasty, married Armennian lady Mariam Zamani Begum
(Queen). In Emperor's Court there were many Armennians, as: Mirza-Zul-
Quamain, adopted son of Akbar, prominent poet and singer; lady Juliana-
royal doctor (later she got married to Prince Philippe Bourbon de Navarre);
Abdul Hai - Chief Justice; Domingo Pires - interpreter and others [102].
In xvn century AD the Emperor Shah Jahan from the Great Mongol
Dynasty (the grandson of above-said Akbar) married Armennian lady
Heghine (Helen)-. After her death Shah Jahan built in her memory the
world famous Mausoleum Tai Mahal where she, and later also he, were
buried [103, p. 213]. As we know Taj Mahal was built by Armennian
architecture and masters.
3.59. ARMENNIANS IN MIDDLE ASIA
Armennians came to Middle Asia in old time. But about it there is too
little data. It is known that:
1. There was an old state called Baktria. This word has Armennian
=background and in Armennian means: B-ak-t-r-ia (P-wq-mep-}1w) the
=country giving kind beginning pwp}1 wqndi~ mqllIJ. hplWp.
2. Bactrians or Tohars routed the Greek State in Bactria in n century
BC.
3. The territory (region) on the South of Middle Asia (South of the
present Tajikistan and Uzbekistan, and North of Afghanistan) was called
Toharstan, beginning from I millennium BC.
4. Tohars were the people living in the Middle Asia at n century BC
until I millennium AD.
=5. Tohar in Armennian means: T-o-h-ar (S-n-h-wl1) the place of
sons of the Sun worshippers =Up-}1 hpqplllwqnqfihp}1 nJUlD.g qWJP (hplWp).
6. Both words Bactria and Tohar have Armennian interpretations
showing that these people came from outside (from the country of the Kind
Sun worshippers, so from Armennia).
7. Toharian language is the group of extinct languages of Indo-
European family. There are Toharian manuscripts of 5-8 cent. AD.
Probably, present Tajiks and Afghans arose from Tohars (Armennians) and
Iranians.
Armennians in old Middle Asia lived in mountainous part and also in
oases, where archaeologists found the developed old settlements and
irrigation channels.
• She is known as Mumtaz MahaI.
177
About the presence of Armennians in Middle Asia say also the old
architectural monuments as the castle "Ark" (the half-Sun in Armennian) in
=town Bouhara (Pentehewp = pwp}1p ndip up-pa UlwZlJlIlIffi well being has
the Sun worshipper), the old town Samarkand, which is known from 329 BC
as Markand (lIewpeQewaell = aw :qbutlt 1Ihp Upht! bwqtUl = it is to our
Sunrise = it is to the East from us), the medieval (1428 AD) observatory near
Samarkand and other historical monuments.
178
3.6. THE GREAT DELUGE
The main reason of the Great Deluge and line of other phenomena on
the Earth is the slow change of the Earth Axis Incline angle (e). This angle
(equal now 23.44°) changes in limits 23.3° ± 1.2°, Le, from 24.5° to 22.1°
(and back) during 41 thousand years.
In Fig. 28 (PART 1, Item 1.20) the change of Earth Axis Incline and
Eras evolution in time are shown. The full (absolute) value of the change of
angle e is 2.4°. This is not so conspicuous for weather of the tropical zones of
the Earth, but more noticeable for polar regions where the Sun rays come
under the more sharp angles. So the glacial covering on the polar zones of
Earth increases when the angle e decreases and glaciers decrease (melt) with
increasing of e.
The beginning of the last Freeze period was 34500 years ago. Little by
little temperature became lower and 32500 years ago the Northern parts of
Europe, Russia and Canada were under glaciers. With the advent of glaciers
the people and animals moved to the South.
The Glacial period was for a long time, 18500 years, until the beginning
of glaciers melting period 32500 - 18500=14000 years ago. Then the period of
intensive melt came, during 2000 years, as the result of which the Great
Deluge took place 12000 years ago (in 10000 BC) resulting from water
covering of huge territories, intensive evaporation, water vapor, clouds, and
heavy rains. All rivers (and new ones) became very swollen, carrying huge
mass of water to the seas and oceans. In the result the level of world ocean
grew up to 100 meters.
All lowlands were flushed by thick water covering, many people
(tribes), animals and plants were perished, all settlements and towns in
lowlands were destroyed. Later all these were covered by thick coat of slime,
particularly in Mesopotamia.
Many old legends of different nations about Great Deluge, particularly
from Sumer and India, came to us from ID millennium BC.
The first factual demonstration of the Great Deluge existence was
found by English archaeologist L. Vulli. Excavating Sumerian towns he
continued excavation down to 19m and found out other older towns. These
19m of slime affirmed that the Great Deluge existed and these old towns
were built before the Great Deluge. In Item 3.14 I showed that these old
towns were Armennian ones. So we can suppose that Armennians, returning
to Sumer after Great Deluge told the "new" Sumers about the Great Deluge
and taught them much more knowledge, and these "new" Sumers were
mixture between Armennians and local tribes.
The next Great Deluge will take place after 29000 years (in 31000 AD),
see Fig. 28 in PART 1. Before that, the beginning of next freeze period in the
Earth polar regions will come after 6500 years and then, after intensive
179
freeze the next Glacial period (Ice Age) will come after 8500 years with
the duration of 18500 years. Then will come the period of glaciers melt
(during 2000 years) and the next Great Deluge will take place after
=41000 -12000 29000 years.
What happened in Great Armennia during the last Great Deluge 12000
years ago? Nothing terrible. There was not any water covering here, because
the average altitude of the Armennian Highland is 1700m and the lowest
altitude of the mountain valleys is 600m (the ocean level grew up for lOOm
only). In Armennia, of course, were too much clouds, wind, rain and
powerful Iightnings. The rough rivers made big canyons in basalt rocks of
mountains. But the population with its culture, all animals and plants were
not perished. So all the territory of the Great Armennia was as the symbolic
giant Noah's Ark, where all people, animals and plants were saved. This is
the reason why Armennians have no legend about the Great Deluge.
In Armennia, during the Great Deluge such animals as horse, bull,
goat, being afraid of Nature forces (lightning, etc.), came closer to people
and their settlements, seeking protection and were domesticated.
The aries, a beautiful and bold mountain animal, was not afraid of
Iightnings and was free. So it became Aries, Le, the third (after lion (Ariuts)
and Eagle (Artsiv» Symbol of the Sun (AR) God of Armennians and also the
first Zodiacal constellation. The helix form of the Aries horns became the
beautiful architectural ornament (see Fig. 45, PART 2).
Because the Aries became the Symbol of AR after (or during) the Great
Deluge and his sculpture is absent in Kappadokia sculptural group (see Fig.
60,65 - 68) we can suppose that this sculptural group (AR, Kesar, Annahit,
Tir, Vahagn, Lion and Eagle) was built before the Great Deluge, before than
12000 years ago (see Item 3.6a).
180
3. 7. THE GREAT ARMENNIA IN 10 - 5 MILLENNIA BC
In the period of X-V millennia BC the Great Armennia still was the
single state (with other Armennian kingdoms) in the World and Armennians
were the single civilized nation, having high culture, knowledge and
Alphabet.
The Great Armennia existed on territories between Black and Caspian
seas in Trans Caucasus (South Caucasus) on the both sides of river Cour
(Kura), around mountains Ararat and Aragats, lakes Sevan, Van and
Urmia, on the all Armennian Highland and Mesopotamia (Edessian
Kingdom)",
Along with the Great Armennia there existed other Armennian
kingdoms in Kilikia, Phoenicia, Asia Minor, and Mesopotamia",
The English historian A. Gilbert wrote that much before Pyramids
building and much before the travelling of Jewish forefather Abraham from
Haldean Ur (Armennian Ar will be more correct, P.H.) to Khevron
(Chevron), one nation of Indo-European birth already existed, who was the
ancestor of Persians and Europeans and who had the kings dynasties [33]. It
seems to me A. Gilbert knew but did not say the truth that it was
Armennian nation.
German historian M. Rimshneider wrote that all Greek culture was
taken from Kilikians, Phoenicians, Hittites and Chaldeans, which were
Urartians or inhabitants of Araratian kingdom [61].
Other nations, states and civilizations began to form in Sumer, Egypt,
Babylon, Iran, etc. with help of Armennians in III millennium BC and later.
Armennians were never aggressive, had no chauvinistic or imperialistic
ambitions. Being the first in the World civilized nation, they were noble,
clever and kind. Their Great Mission was to civilize all tribes around and
beyond. They came to other lands to help local tribes to form states, as it was
in Egypt, Sumer, Babylon, Ethiopia, India, Middle Asia, etc.
But Armennians heroically defended their fatherland, often by less forces
than enemy had.
3. 71. ENIGMAS IN WORLD OLD HISTORY
The Old History of Armennia is made out from the World Old History.
By this reason in the World Old History there are many enigmas and
mysteries, when there are many facts but there are no answers, explanations
for them. Let us present here some of these enigmas.
• Let us remember the Item 3.1. "Anthropological data".
181
The Questions
La, Who built the Great Pyramid 4500 years ago? And Great Sphinx
much earlier?
Lb. Why were they built? For what purpose?
Le, Why were they built in their present places (sites)? For what were
the great works done?
2.a, b, c. The same questions for Stonehenge, New-Grenge, Carnak and
other big old monuments (4500-4000 years ago).
3. Who and why built the pyramids and temples in tropical woods of
Central America more than 6000 years ago?
4. The enigma of geographical maps. There are a few medieval time
maps on which the different regions of Earth are shown, which have the
high accuracy impossible for that time. On these maps there are shown even
regions not discovered yet at that time.
For example, there is so-called map of admiral Piry Rase dated by 1513
AD, which presented Antarktida, discovered at 1818 AD, so more than 300
years before the discovery! Admiral wrote on margin of map that he made
this map using more ancient sources (which are not saved). The more
interesting is that Antarctica on this map is shown without ice-covering as it
is now. By the geophysical data this was more than 6000 years ago!
Moreover, this map concurs with the map of Antarctica made in XX century
using modern methods of seismography by international scientific
expedition [24, p.9-17].
The question (No. 4) is who and why made this map more than 6000
years ago? The consequence of scientists is one: in prehistoric time a high
civilization, existed on not known yet place of Earth, had researched almost
the whole Planet and transited their knowledge to other nations [24].
There are also other examples of such astonishing old maps made with
very high accuracy [24].
The Answers
The main and general answer is that Carahunge and other data
(including linguistic ones) are attested to say: at that time the necessary
knowledge, instruments and technology had Armennians only.
The more detailed answers of above questions in PARTS 1 and 2 were
done. Here we can repeat them just shortly.
Answer to questions la and 2a is that the Great Pyramid and
Stonehenge and many other monuments were built by Armennians, by
Original Brain Center (Item 1. 34.), particularly by Armennian Kesar Hayk
(Item 3. 30).
Answer to questions 1b and 2b is that the Great Pyramid and
Stonehenge were built as the Observatories and memorials to keep for far
future generations the information about the great scientific investigation
that Earth is ball-formed (Item 1. 28.). The Great Sphinx was built to keep
182
for far future the information about another great investigation of Earth
Axis Precession phenomenon (Item 1. 22. and 1. 35.).
Answer to questions 1c and 2c is that to demonstrate the ball-form of
the Earth some monuments were built at the latitudes which are at the equal
distances (by latitude) from Carahunge. For example, the Stonehenge and
the Great Pyramid are at latitude distances of about ± 100 from Carahunge;
the Callenish (Scotland) and the oldest observatory and Amon-RA (the Sun)
Temple in Egypt (near present Assuan) are in latitude differences of ± 160
from Carahunge.
Answer to question 3 is that Armennians in 15-2 millennia BC
researched almost all Planet. Their great mission was to teach local tribes
everywhere, to propagate knowledge, kindness, humanity and the kind
religion of the Sun God AR. This attests also the existence of the same old
legends of different nations in different places. According to these legends, in
the old time to their countries came white-faced and big bearded (the main
indications of Armennoid race) Gods, who knew everything and taught them
kindness and knowledge. Such legends have not only Sumerians, Hindus,
etc. but also the inhabitants of all countries of Central America (Peru,
Bolivia, Chile, Mexico, etc.).
Answer to question 4 is the following. Such accurate maps could be
prepared by the scientists who knew mathematics, geometry (including
spherical geometry and trigonometry), who had very accurate instruments
for measuring the latitude and longitude of place and had big oceanic ships.
Such astronomical and other instruments had in Carahunge time (7500
years ago) Armennian scientists. Carahunge attests that they knew also
mathematics, geometry, trigonometry and had high experience of accurate
measurements with accuracy of 30 sec. of arc or 2 sec. of time. In the same
time Kilikian and Phoenician Armennians had at that time big oceanic ships
(''nav'' in Armennian) and high level of navigation. Thus 6000 and more
years ago the necessary knowledge and possibility had only Armennians.
3. 72. ARMENNIANS IN AMERICA
There are many enigmas in Old History of Central America, coming
from the period of many thousand years ago, l.e, before the well known
period of Mayas, Aztecs (Mexico), Incas (Peru, Bolivia, Chile) cultures of n
millennium BC- 11 millennium AD. These enigmas include the presence of
the same old legends of population of all said countries and the presence of
old towns, temples and pyramids of Ziggurat type (step by step) as they are
in Babylon, Ur (Ar in Armennian) and Egypt.
G. Hancock writes that old legends of Incas are taken from the book of
Khose de Akosta, Spanish scientist and priest (XVI century AD), about
183
Incas descent after the Great Deluge: ''From the lake Titikaka came
Virakocha God ••• and the augmenting of the human genus began". In other
legends of the Andes Mountains inhabitants it is said that Virakocha
(Wirag~ha)was a white-faced and bearded man of middle height. He called
the people as his sons and daughters. He travelled and made miracles, cured
diseases ''by touching", was very kind, taught people medicine, metallurgy,
agriculture, stock-raising, art of witting (later forgotten) and understanding
of complex bases of technique and building [24, pp. 48, 49, 54]. Many
legends said that Virakocha and his people went back by water, moving by
ocean (pacific) in ships without oars [24, p, 88].
G. Hancock tells also that in town Tiauanako of lake Titikaka region
the local Indians-Aymara speak until now in about 10000 years old language
of Virakocha. In opinion of some linguists the Aymara language is the oldest
in the World and has a rich and strong structure of syntax [24, p. 87].
=It is interesting that in Armennian Titikaka means ''t - i- ka there is
=the house of men", and Aymara means "hay - mar- a Armennian from
sea", or ''from mother Armennia". The name Virakocha in Armennian
means ''Vir-a-koch = called from above = tlbpbfi qn1tlwb". Armennian
philologist Dr M.Sarkisian proves that Aymara language is very close to
Armennian because from 600 words in English-Aymara dictionary she has
found 54 words which are similar to Armennian words [l01].
G. Hancock describes the old Temple in Tiauanako (Bolivia) with big
statue of Virakocha, "Sun Gate" and square Calasasaya, which in Ayamara
language means ''The place of vertical standing stones" [24, p.72]. In
=Armennian the word Calasasaya means "Car- sas - haya big standing
=stones of Armennians" or "Car- sas - ia the place of big standing stones".
These and other examples mean that Aymara and Armennian languages are
close one to another indeed. This impression becomes more trustworthy if to
take into account that by G. Hancock Calasasaya was a 15-17 thousand
years old observatory and Stone Calendar [24, p.74]. Of course, it was not so
developed observatory as Carahunge, because in standing stones of
Calasasaya there are not holes, so accuracy of observations was not very
high. But all these agree with our supposition that the first observatories in
Armennia were built about 23 thousand years ago (see Item 1.17.).
The same old legends, coming from ancestors of Mayas and Aztecs,
have the people of Mexico. G. Hancock tells the legend from the notes of
Khuan de Torkvemada, Spanish chronicler (XVI century AD), that
Quetzalcoatl (Mexican analog of Virakocha) was ''the rosy man with lengthy
beard ... He was a mighty built white man with high forehead, big eyes and
big beard ... He condemns sacrifices besides fruits and flowers. He was
known as the God of peace...". This wise teacher "came from behind of sea
in the boat which moves itself without oars .•• He taught people to use fire •••
He also built houses and taught couples to live together as husband and
wife•••" [24, 97].
184
According to G.Hancock S.G. Morly, the top researcher of Maya writes
that the same "Great God ... of pantheon of Maya was the great organizer,
founder of towns, author of laws and calendar ..• His main streaks and
biography are so realistic that it is fully probably he was a real historical
personage, major law-maker ... which was the reason of his deification".
G.Hancock writes here that "All legends rightly affirm that Quetzalcoatl
came to Central America from afar (from behind, "from the East Sea") and
later again sailed away to the same direction..." [24, p, 96, 97].
All these and other legends confirm that the "Gods" came in old time to
Central America, built with local population big towns, very long roads
(about 15000km !), temples and pyramids. As the bright example of the
presence of developed old towns we can note also Machu-Pikchu in the
beautiful mountains of Peru. This town was built too far from roads, so G.
Hancock writes "Who ever went ... to build Machu-Pikchu here, he had to
have the very serious reasons for that" [24, p. 57].
Machu-Pikchu has astronomical orientation and was built at the foot
of double-headed big mountain which is very like to the Great and Small
Mount Ararat (see Fig. 84). The town was built much earlier than was Inkas
civilization [24, pp. 36-53]. R. Muller, Professor of astronomy of Potsdam
University, found out that the important elements of Machu-Pikchu
buildings have astronomical orientations. Using the laws of Earth Axis
Precession he calculated that the town was built 'between 4000 and 2000 BC,
so about 6000 years ago [24, p. 60].
Fig. 84. Machu-Pikchu, the old town in Central America [24].
In town Cuzco (Peru) there is the old temple of the Sun with name
Qozikancha (with images of Virakocha) [93, p. 355]. This name is very close
= = =to Armennian word Carikanch earl- kanch stone's call puip]; qwU1.,
, which is almost the same as Carahunge (Speeking Stones).
185
The astronomical dating of the age of old towns, particularly
Tiauanako with Sun Temple, Sun Gate, Pyramid and Calasasaya square,
were done at 1927-1930 by scientists A.Poznansky, Prof. of La-Pas
University, Dr F. Bekker from the "Specula Vaticanica", Prof. A. Kolsutter
from Bonn University. All they demonstrated that Tiauanako is about 17
thousand years old [24, p. 76].
Have we enough bases to say that all these large activities in Central
America at old time were done by Armennians? I think ''yes'', because:
1. there are many the same legends of all countries of Central America,
that in old time the kind, clever "gods" with high knowledge came from the
East and then returned back to the East by sea. This book shows that
Armennians in old time (17-4 thousand years ago) were also kind, clever and
with high knowledge;
2. the "gods" were white and bearded men with high forehead and big
eyes, which are the indications of Armennoid race;
3. in the old time Armennians went to many other lands and seas and
everywhere the local population deified them thanks to their kindness, high
knowledge and volition to help. They disallowed sacrifices and taught
knowledge, building, language and trust to the kind Sun God. The main God
of local tribes was also the Sun.
4. the "gods" language was Armennian, because many old, even present
names of towns, buildings and old "gods" (as Virakocha) as well as many
words of some languages (as Aymara) have Armennian interpretation.
5. the "gods" built towns, roads, Sun-God Temples and Ziggurat type
pyramids with astronomical orientation. They had big ocean ships, high
accurate instruments and navigation, which at that time had only
Armennians.
3. 73. ARMENNIAN ASIA MINOR:
HITTITIAN KINGDOM, PHRYGIA, LYDIA
It is known that Armennian race was sole inhabitant of Asia Minor
from the old time. In Asia Minor there were a number of Armennian old
Kingdoms. About the Armennian Kingdoms of Komagena, Tsopc,
Kappadokia and Armennia Minor we said in Item 3. 10. About Kilikia it
was in Item 3. 11. About Troy (lllion) will be in next Item 3. 27. This Item
3. 26. is about Hittitian Kingdom, Phrygia and Lydia.
Hittitian Kingdom
It is known that Hittitian State was in central part of Asia Minor
during 17-12 centuries BC and Hittitian language (Hattiti) was Indo-
European [87]. But what was before the said centuries? The book "Ancient
civilizations" says: "Hatti seems to have been in origin a very ancient name
186
for the district around the city Hattush..• The inhabitants of this district in
the ID millennium BC spoke Hattiti and would therefore have had first
right to the name of "Hattite" if they had not been pre-empted by the people
of the later kingdom, of which Hattush was the capital" [93, p. 111].
What was before ID millennium BC is unknown. Let us remember
here the anthropological data (see Item 3. 1.) that 10 thousand years ago all
Asia Minor was populated by Armennoid race only, Le, by Armennians,
from whom came Indo-Europeans and Indo-European languages. Before
about the middle of XX century AD it was said everywhere that Hattitean
language was Semitic. But after the excavations of Hittitean capital Hattush
with big library it was demonstrated that Hittitean language is Indo-
European. Now it is known that many Hittitian words (and grammar) are
the same as Armennians or very close to them [64].
It is known also that Hittitean country (state, then Empire) was in close
contacts with Great Armennia and other Armennian Kingdoms,
particularly with Kilikia, the kings of which were at one period brothers
(from the one dynasty) with Hittiean kings. They received from Great
Armennia many goods, finery and weaponry.
Phrygia
After the fall of Troy (13c. BC) this country is known in the history as
Phrygia, which was located in NW of Asia Minor, with its capital Gordion.
According to historical data Phrygia existed from 10-8 cent. BC to 2-3 cent.
AD. The language is separate branch of Indo-European family (as
Armennian also). The language is represented with inscriptions, glosses and
personal names [70, p. 376; 1986]. It is obvious that these writings must be
read in old Armennian language.
Lydia
Lydia located in SW of Asia Minor was, as Phrygia and other countries
in Asia Minor, inside other (bigger) Armennian Kingdoms (as Kilikia,
Hittites, Troy and others) in different times. Lydia was independent state at
7-6 cent. BC. The language was Indo-European.
3. 74. ARMENNIAN TROY
Our knowledge about Troy and Trojan Kingdom comes from "Iliad"
of Homer (IX-VID cent. BC) and results of excavations of German
archaeologist H.Schliemann in 1870-1890 on a hill lying about 6km from the
Dardanelles Channel. Excavations were continued by W.Dorpfeld and then,
in 1932-1938 by American expedition led by W.Semple and C.Blegen.
187
Troy was a big old town surrounded by many settlements, the age of
which now is under discussion (2500-1900 BC) [93, p. 144]. Trojan War was
in XIII cent. BC. By the other sources Troy existed in IV millennium BC
and was placed on the bank of old bay, [97, p. 25, 144, 145; 98].
The map of Troy excavations is shown in Fig. 85 [93, p. 142] and
Mrs. Schliemann wearing Trojan jewellery - in Fig. 86 [93, p. 143].

188
It is important for us how old really was the Trojan country. I am sure
that it was more than 10 thousand years ago when Armennians lived here
(Armennoid race) and it was Armennian country (Kingdom) having much
more territory than in later period. I am sure that this will be affirmed by
the new excavations, and all old Trojan writings are necessary to read in
Armennian language (as well as old Egyptian, Sumerian, Babylonian and
others).
In XIll century BC when Trojan War took place, Greeks were not
formed yet as one nation. Homer calls them as Acheans and Danayans.
There were separate little town-states and island-states. Developing Greeks
needed the trade ways, especially to the East, including Black Sea basin
(West was not developed yet). But on the routes to the East (marine and
overland), on Dardanelles Channel there was the Trojan Kingdom. Dardan
is the old word which in Armennian means: D - ar- d - an = way to the AR, to
Him (to the God).
Homer named Troy lllion which is Armennian name (Illion -
Arian=Ar-i-an=the town of Sun people). To conquer the routes to the new
lands, Greek little states joined at first in one army and led by Agamemnon
(one of little kings), using hundreds of ships, came to conquer Troy. To help
Trojans to defend, there came troops from a number of Eastern countries.
From Armennia it was the King Zayrmayr of Nairi Country (z-ayr-mayr
= mother's first son), who fell in Trojan War.
In fact it was the first World war between the developing West
(Greece) and the East, which lasted ten years. Greeks could not win but at
the end did it by the cheat, for what they were punished by their own Gods.
All these are known from Homer's ''Diad''.
The question is: could "Iliad" be Greek epos (or poem). Of course not,
because:
1. In ''Diad'', from the very beginning, Achean-Danayan (Greece) main
heroes as Achilles and Agamemnon are presented negatively. They are
arguing, hufTmg, calling one another sordid, etc. In the result Achilles
disowned war (during one year) and said to Agamemnon that he had
nothing against Trojans, tamers of horses (i,e, against Armennians). When
Achilles killed Hector, he fastened the body to the tail of his horse and drew
it over the ground. Hector's father, the white-haired old Priam, the King of
Troy, came and kneeled imploring Achilles to give him his son's body to
bury, but Achilles refused. Homer presents many other negative moments in
actions of Greeks. But Homer used other epithets for Trojan heroes, as
noble Priam, noble Hekuba, etc.
Is it possible to be in any national epos, that their own heroes are called
"sordid", but the opposite persons (of ten-year war enemy) called "noble"? I
think, impossible.
2. The Greeks own Gods did not like Greece heroes. The main Gods,
Zeus and Poseidon, are kept nonchalant. Only Athen-Warrior (ugly-born
189
from the head of Zeus with her helmet) patroned Greeks. The patron of
Trojans (-Armennians) was, of course, Apollo - the Sun God.
3. When after ten-year war Greeks did not win and decided to go back,
Hodiseus devised guile with big wooden horse, and Greeks became able to
kill Trojans, when they were sleeping at night and to burn Troy.
For this dishonest and ignoble victory the Gods strictly castigated
Greeks. On their back way home Poseidon made a powerful storm and more
than half of Greek ships were sunk to bed. Agamemnon on coming back to
his town saw that now the king was another man. Zeus disallowed Hodiseus
to return home during 20 years, etc.
4. The names of Trojan heroes had Armennian meanings: King Priam
(descendant of the God-King Dardan) - ''leader of people"; his wife Hekuba
- "devoted and generous"; their son Hector - "devoted protector of
homeiand"; their son Paris - ''the man from the God (AR) surround"; their
daughter Kassandra - "she is child of master, devoted to his life".
5. It is under discussion until now who and from where was Homer.
The Greece philosopher Loukian (11 century AD) wrote that in his dream
came Homer and on question ''from where you are and what is your real
name?" he answered that he is from Eastern Babylonian countries (old
Greeks almost everything on east called "Babylonian"), and his name there
was Tigran [99, pp. 398, 399]. It is known that Tigran is (and was) the
popular Armennian name (Tigran= ''the man (who) makes beautiful home
(life) of people"). The name Tigran had also some Kings of the Great
Armennia.
All these confirm that ''Iliad'' is Armennian (Trojan) epos and Homer
(Tigran) was Armennian poet.
3.75. CULTURE IN GREAT ARMENNIA
Excavations in Armennian Highland
Near Armennian historical town Arhan (now Ergani in Diarbekir
region of Turkey) 9500-year-old town with very high culture was excavated
in 80-es of last century [91]. The monumental houses of this town were built
according to one general project. Many tools, instruments and weapons
made from copper and marks of developed agriculture were found.
It was, of course, Armennian town (are h ean = town of AR worshipers),
so the Copper Age in Armennia began about 10 thousand years ago, or more
than 5000 years earlier than it is accepted in general.
. Territory of present Armennia
Carahunge Observatory, the oldest in the World, was built and operated
more than 7500 years ago (see PART 1). It was a large and developed
190
observatory with many stone astronomical instruments of high accuracy.
Old Armennian scientists had very high knowledge. They knew that the
Earth is ball-formed, measured its sizes. They knew that the Earth rotates
around its own axis and around the Sun, knew mathematics, cosmogony,
written language. They projected and built other large monuments in other
latitudes, as the Great Pyramid and Stonehenge.
Science, of course, is connected with culture, art. For example,
Armennian researcher of Shakespeare E. Vandanian thinks that Armennian
theatre was born about 8000 years ago [l08].
Developed Armennian Culture (so-called Cour-Arracsian Culture) of
the period from 8000 years ago and earlier, until 11 mill. BC presented by
the results of many excavations on the territory of present Armennia
between rivers Cour (Kura) and Aracs (Stengavit, Shannidar, Mokhrablour,
Vannadzor, Lehashen, Aggarak, ete.), The artifices were made from stones,
wood, copper, bronze, gold, silver, glass and further (111-11 mill. BC) from
iron and steel. These are tools, instruments, statuettes, finery, dishes, etc.
Many of the same artifices were found in other countries, particularly in
Europe, appertained to ID-II mill. BC.
The inhabitants of this territory were always Armennians. Why did
they call this culture "Cour-Arracsian" and their language ''Hourite-
Urartian", instead of Armennian? These authors use whatever words just
not to say "Armennia, Armennian, Armennians". Why?
In Fig. 80 the bronze statuette of the Aries is presented (XIV-XIII cent.
BC) found by archaeologist Professor T. Khachatourian during excavations
near village Arrich on the North slope of Mount Aragats. The Aries stands
on anchor which was necessary to fIX the statuette on cart. The body of Aries
is empty inside where metallic balls are put. When the cart moved, the tinkle
was ringing out and "evil spirits" ran away. Specialists say, that to cast
(found) such a figure, it was necessary to have the high technology.
Metsamor was a big old metallurgical plant, placed with its Museum in
Ararat Valley, about 30 km from Yerevan. Here, beginning from V mill. BC,
metal was smelted in big quantities. It was at first copper, gold, silver,
bronze, then (from 111-11 mill. BC) iron and steel, and also beads from
colour glass. The production of Metsamor plant was widely sent abroad.
Many excavations in Metsamor were done [92].

3.8. THE GREAT ARMENNIA IN 5 - 1 mill. BC
Before ID-I1 mill. BC in the World there were no wars, because the
main power had the Great Armennia and other Armennian old Kingdoms
and Armennians were not aggressive, never wanted to occupy the territories
of other people or countries. They went to many other lands with the single
noble mission to propagate the humanity and kindness, to teach knowledge
other people, to help them to federate their own first states.
But when other peoples (nations) learned knowledge, they began to
make weapons and many of them began to kill one another, to start wars, to
occupy other territories. The era of total nobility on the Earth finished, and
there came the era of avidity: ambitions to be rich, powerful, to domineer
over others became usual relations. Unfortunately this new era lasts until
now.
Attacks on Armennia took place also, and in result Armennia very
suffered from all sides. But the civil wars in Armennia never took place.
The first war in the World took place in the middle of III millennium
BC, when army of giants from Babylon led by commander Bel came to
occupy Armennia. But Bel was killed by Armennian Kesar Hayk in battle in
2492 BC and Babylonian army ran away (see Items 1.18 and 1.30).
Here I want to show the opinion of other authors about Armennians.
German researcher Magda Neimann wrote: ''It is known to everybody
who knows history of Armennia, that it was the single country in the World,
where castes, slaves, villeins never existed from the very beginning of
political being of Armennia until now: Armennians never have the concept
about some contemptible class" (p. 88). "All foreigners, who were captivated
during war or came to Armennia by one's free will received, on territory of
Armennia the full freedom and equal rights with Armennians" [90, p. 89].
"Armennian State consisted of four estates: nobility (lord's genuses),
priests, townsmen and villagers. They were just in natural relations with
each other and kept mutual and common interest" (p. 89).
''The woman in Armennia was not a subject of special cult, but she had
a very honorary place at home. There were never hetaeras in Armennia.
Along of hallowed tradition of monogamy the wife of Armennian always was
devoted friend of husband and authoritative hostess of family hearth" (p.
89).
Russian historian S. Glinka in his book "Review of Armennian nation
history", 1833, S.Petersburg, wrote: "Armennians never war for the war.
They war for Fatherland which was present in their hearts and described on
their old shields, or they war for independence which was treasured higher
than their own life". The main problems of State were decided together with
public meetings [89].
This was demonstrated once more during last event in 1990-es, when all
Armennian nation stood to protect the independence of Nagorni Karabakh,
192
the Armennian own old territory with Armennian population, which in
Soviet time, in 1920-es was (with Nakhichevan territory) coercively devolved
to Azerbaijan (turks) without Armennia assent.
3. 81. ARMENNIAN KESAR HAYK
According to the Bible (and also by Movses Khorenatsi [20, p. 12]) the
Armennian Kesar Torgom, the father of Hayk, was the third after lafet
(Habeth), son of Noah. By the name of Kesar Torgom Armennia was also
called (sometimes until now) ''Torgom's home (dome)".
In the middle of ID millennium BC the son of Torgom, Prince Hayk
with his family, top scientists and masters (more than 300 people) went to
the South lands and started to build there the ziggurat type pyramid
(Tower) with the help of local tribes.
Around this giant building a town soon arose, which later was called
=Babylon after the name of Armennian commander Bab (p-w- p the kind
life bringer), who later became the first King of Babylon.
When the bigger part of Tower was built, some conflict between Hayk
and local commander Bel (by Bible Nebrot, the third after Cam, the son of
Noah) took place, and the building of the Tower stopped. Hayk with his
people (more than 300 person) returned to Armennia.
M. Khorenatsi wrote that in Armennia, on the way to Ararratian land,
Hayk rested near Lake Van, built the lord-house and gave it to his grandson
Kadmos enthroning him as a Lord of Lake Van land.
Then Hayk came to Ararratian land and became the Armennian Kesar
(the King and Main Priest), after his father Torgom. At that time Hayk had
four sons, six daughters and many grandsons. The statue of Hayk in
Yerevan was shown in color Fig. 68.
M. Khorenatsi calls Hayk as ''Famous and brave nakharrar, and
marksman of the powerful bow" [20, p.18; 79, p.l09]. He does not call Him
''Forefather of Armennians". But now sometimes in use "our ancestor",
which is not right. The word ''nakharrar'' in Armennian means:
="nakhearar precreated (man); fiwtu-wpwp = fiwtuwUIbu umbtt.b1lwb"', so
it means the top man standing before, over other men, so the king, the main
priest, so it is the highest administrative (and clerical) title in countries,
which is the same as very old Armennian word Kesar, The word nakharrar
came from M. Khorenatsi to us, and in present Armennian is in use as
"minister". So it is more exact to call Hayk as Kesar or King.
When Hayk had left Babylon, commander Bel began to act as a king
there, but the first official King of Babylon was Bab (after Bel death).
Bel sent (with his son) the letter to Hayk where it was said: "You are
living in terribly cold land, but•.• comply with me and live calmly where you
193
want in my country". But Hayk answered with rigid refusal, that he did not
want to return to Babylon [20, p. 19]. Then angry Bel gathered from the
local tribes a big army (of Pedestrian giants) and went to occupy Armennia.
When he came up to Lake Van, Kadmos (the grandson of Hayk) urgently
arrived in Ararratian land and informed Hayk about Bel's Army coming.
Kesar Hayk quickly gathered army and went to meet Bel. Both armies
met in Hayots Dzor (Armennian Gorge) to the North from Lake Van.
The battle started and terrible clatter rang around. Hayk with a group
of men of courage broke through Bel's Army to the position on hill where
Bel was standing with the group of his warriors. Bel was dressed in helmet
from iron, copper plates on bosom and back, armour on legs and arms. He
wielded double-edged sword and a very long pike.
Hayk went forward, hoisted his taut big bow and his three-head" arrow
breached body of Bel between shoulders and pierced into ground. Bel fell
Oat and died. His army was shattered and exiled from Armennia [20, p, 19-
23].
This battle was in 2492 BC. Hayk ordered to celebrate this day of
victory each year and Armennian new calendar (HBT) started (see Item
1.18).
Armennian nation deified Kesar Hayk. The sculpture of Hayk in
Yerevan with his big bow is shown in Fig. 63.
After Hayk Armennian Kesar became his son Aramaniak.
We can try to calculate approximate dates of life and activity of
Torgom, Hayk, and others, using the following known data:
1. Aramaniak, son of Hayk, was born in Babylon,
2. Torgom was the third after lafet, son of Noah,
3. Bel was the third after Cam, son of Noah,
4. On the back way from Babylon Hayk stayed in Armennian place
near Lake Van, built palace for Kadmos, son of Aramaniak,
5. The Hayk-Bel battle took place in 2492 BC.
Besides we can suppose the following:
1. Torgom was 30 years old when Hayk was born (in 2544 BC),
2. Bel was for 15 years older than Hayk,
3. Aramaniak was 17 years old when Kadmos was born (in 2509 BC),
4. Kadmos became the Lord of Van land when he was 15 years old and
in 2495 BC he was 17 years old,
5. Torgom, Hayk and Aramaniak, each of them lived 100 years.
Using these known historical facts and our suppositions, we can now
calculate and reival approximately, that:
1. Torgom was born in 2574 BC (and Bel - in 2559 BC),
2. Hayk was born in 2544 BC (when Torgom was 30 years old),
• His arrow had three heads (pikes) because the main God AR had three symbols: Aryouts
(Lion), Artsiv (Eagle) and Aris (Aries).
194
3. Hayk went to Babylon land in 2526 BC when he was 18 years old (at
that time Torgom was 48 years old, and Bel - 33),
4. Hayk left Babylon in 2495 BC, when he was 49 years old (Torgom -
79, Bel - 64). He was in Babylon and built Tower during 31 years,
5. Hayk returned to Armennia (at first in Van) in 2494 BC, when he
was 50 years old (Torgom - 80, Bel - 65),
6. Hayk became the Kesar of Armennia in 2493 BC, when he was 51,
7. Bel with army left Babylon in 2493 BC, when he was 66 years old,
8. The Hayk - Bel's battle was in 2492 BC, when Hayk was 52 years
old (Torgom - 82, Bel- 67, Aramaniak - 34, Kadmos - 17),
9. Aramaniak was born in 2526 BC,
10.Kadmos was born in 2509 BC (when Aramaniak was 17 years old)
and became the Lord of Van in 2494 BC, when he was 15 years old.
These calculations are better to understand, beginning at the first from
the last positions (10, 9).
Thus, we can also write:
Torgom -life period 2574 - 2474 BC and King ? - 2493 BC,
Hayk -life period 2544 - 2444 BC, Kesar 2493 - 2444 BC,
Aramaniak -life 2526 - 2426 BC, Kesar 2444 - 2426 BC,
Kadmos -life 2509 - 2409 BC,
Bel (Nebrot) -life 2559 - 2492 BC,
Babylon Tower was in building during 2526 - 2495 BC.
We can suppose also the following:
1. Hayk went to Egypt in about 2490 BC and built the Big Pyramid
during about 10 years (perhaps, it was finished after Hayk's departure). For
his kindness and high knowledge he was deified by Egyptians, became the
Pharaoh and founded the IV Dynasty of Egyptian Pharaohs. He left Egypt
in about 2480 BC and, perhaps, promised to Egyptians to return back. But
he could not do it. So, maybe, Egyptians were waiting for him and identified
him with the God Osiris, who periodically died and revived again. If all
these took place, then it is understandable why in Big Pyramid nobody was
buried whereas sarcophagus (also for his wife) was prepared.
2. After return to Armennia for one-two years Hayk in 2477 BC went
to France (Bretain) and GB, where staying for about 10 years, founded
simple observatories, the first simple variants of present Carnak in Bretain,
Stonehenge in England, New-Grenge in Ireland and Callanish in Scotland.
They were almost similar to Carahunge in Armennia but later were rebuilt
to the present condition, being used for other purposes (as cult). Besides
Callanish which is similar to Carahunge until now (the word "Carenish" in
Armennian means "Stone Sign").
3. Hayk returned to Armennia in about 2467 BC, when he was about
77 years old. After his death (in about 2444 BC) the Kesar of Armennia
became his son Aramaniak (until about 2426 BC).
195
3. 82. ARMENNIANS IN BABYLON
The town and State Babylon arose in South Mesopotamia during the
process of building of Babylon Tower by Armennian Kesar Hayk,
approximately at the period of 2526 - 2495 BC, when at that place many
workers were settled.
In this land from the old time many Armennians lived. The first King
of this land was Armennian Bab (from 2492 BC). Bab in Armennian means
"kind life bringer". After his name this land was called Babylon, which in
Armennian means "came Bab (having) big soul" or "benign Bab came".
From the old time Babylon was in friendly relations with the Great
Armennia, Armennian Kilikia and Lydia. The flush period of Babylon was
at King Khammurapi (18 cent. BC), which in Armennian means "strong
father".
In 626 - 538 BC and later Babylon was called Haldean (or Now-
Babylonian) Kingdom where kings were so-called Halds or Haldeans. They
were Armennians with high knowledge. The word "HaId" in many countries
and for very long times (sometimes until now) was in use (means) as "sage
men", "magi", and in Armennian means "h s al e d = h - ar - d = (to) the Sun
worshippers".
According to handbooks the flush period of Haldean Kingdom was at
King Nabukhodonosor 11 (605 - 562 BC). His name is very distorted by
adding different parts. The main part is the first one "Nab", which in
Armennian means "na - b = he (is) kind".
In the book "History of Old World" by D. Reser and E. Cherkassova it
is said: "Later the terms "BabyIonian" and "Haldean" became synonyms".
"Babylon under Haldean Dynasty again achieved heyday" [117, p. 231].
. . In Bible the town
"Ur Haldean" is noted. It
will be more accurate to
read this name as "Ar
Armennian".
w "•• There are many old
maps where Armennia is
shown. In the book of
.. . British historian Rouben
Galichian more than 120
such maps are presented
[109]. The oldest one
(came to us) Is the
Babylonian clay tablet
map dated from the VI
. cent. BC, the scheme of
. which is shown in Fig. 86.

196
Here the Armennia and Armennian Harran countries, also Armennian
Highland (Mountains) are presented (also Babylon and Assyria) [109, p. 36].
Assyria was a very aggressive country and a big lover of terrible wars
with all countries around. M. Neiman wrote that Assyria many centuries
attacked Armennia, so Armennian army with Mydian and Babylonian ones
came to Ninve, capital of Assyria, and stormed it in 605 BC. Assyria was
annihilated [90, p. 63].
3. 83. ARMENNIAN BEHAYNA KINGDOM
In many books on history it is said that in territory of the Great
Armennia 4300 - 4200 years ago there lived tribes of Hourites (or Hayassa).
These are wrong, because they were not tribes and did not have said names.
They were Armennians-Aryans living all the time in the Great Armennian
Kingdom.
In Armennia have always lived Armennians. And it is not necessary to
devise other names for inhabitants of Armennia.
In the Great Armennia during the period of 13-6 centuries BC existed
the Armennian Behayna Kingdom which consisted of two parts: Nairi
Kingdom (known in 13-9 cent. BC) with capital town Van (founded in about
35 mill. BC) and Ararratian Kingdom from very old time, which was
wrongly so-called ''Urartu'', for the period of 9-6 centuries BC. Until 9 cent.
BC Araratian Kingdom had a capital town Manazkert (founded in about 25
mill. BC).
In 9 century BC Nairi was united with Ararratian Kingdom at the
period of the King (Kesar) Aram (860-840 BC) having the capital town Van.
This united Armennian State was called Behayna, which in Armennian
= =means: Be-hay-na it (is) double Armennian 17w qpq(iwtUt hWJqwqw(i
(bPtUtp t ) .
Ararratian Kingdom is well researched for the "Urartian" period.
On the territory of present Armennia many excavations were done and
many old things were found: home utensil, dishes, decoration, carts,
weapon, dresses, paints, etc. All these artefacts for pre-Urartian,
Urartian and after-Urartian periods are the same as well as the Armennoid
race for people. This means that there was not a certain "Urartu" for a short
period of 9-6 centuries BC, but was Armennian Ararratian Kingdom for a
very long period, which with Armennian Nairi Kingdom in 9-6 centuries BC
were called Behayna.
The names of all kings of the period of 9-6 cent. BC are known (see
Table of King below).
Present capital town of Armennia, Yerevan, was founded in 782 BC by
the King Argist I (788 - 764 BC). On the territory of present Yerevan the
old town-castle ''Yerebouni'' was excavated and partly reconstructed. Here
197
was found out the stone with cuneiform characters of King Argist I
(Armennians in that time used Alphabet and also cuneiform in parallel)
about the foundation of Yerebouni - Yerevan, with the text: "I am, Argist,
son of Menoua, by the order of the God Bald this beautiful town built for
the potency of Behayna country..." (see Fig. 87). So "Urartian" kings called
their own country Behayna. In Fig. 88 another Armennian old and big castle
"Amberd", on Mount Aragats, is shown.
Fig. 83. The stone with script about foundation of Yerevan (in 782 BC) by
King Argist of Behayna country.
3. 84. ARMENNIANS IN SYRIA, LEBANON AND PALESTINE
Armennians were in territories of present Syria, Lebanon and Palestine
from the very old time (before the Great Deluge) on their way to the
Phoenicia and Egypt. They played an important role in the formation of
local nations.
Armennians taught inhabitants knowledge, art of houses and towns
building, the adoration to the kind AR God and to other Armennian Gods.
For example, in Palestine Armennians founded the town Yerusalem
(Jerusalem) (before the III mill. BC), and inhabitants of old Palestine were
worshippers of Armennian Gods, particularly, of the God Vahal (Vahagn)
and the Goddess Astart (Astghik).
In Lebanon the quantity of Armennians increased after the genocide of
Armennians in Turkey (including Kilikia) in 1915 AD, when many
Armennians from Kilikia and other regions came to the neighbouring
Lebanon. Now here along the seaboard there are many Armennian villages.
So now in Palestine, Lebanon and Syria there are many Armennians
and other Christians, close to Armennians.
198
3. 85. ARMENNIANS AND JEWS
In 586 BC Jerusalem was occupied by Babylon and part of Jews was by
force transmigrated to Babylon (Babylonian captives. 586 - 539 BC).
Because the threat for Judea still existed, Jew's Seer Ieremia invoked
his nation to call Armennians for help: "Boost flags, blare trumpets amidst
nations, arm nations against him (Babylon), call against him Ararratian,
Miniean and Askanazian" Kingdoms" [110].
King of the Great Armennia Tigran Yervandouni (560 - 535 BC)
together with Iranian King Kir came and stormed Babylon, annihilated
Babylon Kingdom at 539 BC and liberated Jews [90, p.64].
Armennian King Tigran n the Great (95 - 55 BC) built his second
capital town Tigrannakert (southward from Lake Van) and after occupation
of Jerusalem invited to Tigrannakert about ten thousand Jews (and also
Greeks) - artisans. Their descendants are living in Armennia until now.
In 1960-es AD in Jerusalem lived 15 - 17 thousand Armennians. But
now they are only about one thousand.
3. 86. ARMENNIANS IN EUROPE
The first Armennian expeditions to Europe took place probably in V -
IV millennia BC. The main purpose was researching the lands, measuring
latitudes of different points and building simple observatories having some
analogy with Carahunge.
Afterwards, at the time of Armennian Kesar Hayk (the middle of ill
millennium BC) many Monuments were rebuilt with local tribes to have
more religious designation, besides Callanish in Scotland which has kept big
analogy with Carahunge until now. So, maybe, the age of Callanish is much
more, than it is dated now.
About the presence of Armennians and their settlements in Europe,
beginning from In millennium BC, tell also the Armennian names kept until
now in Bretain (France): as Carnak (the names of Monument and town), the
town Van, the mountain ridge Armorika and others. The word ''Bret'' in
=Armennian means: p • P • h • m pwp}1 wpqbg}1fi btwb (lJ.wnntgqwb) mfibpD

• Annennian Kingdoms [90, p.64].

GREECE
Armennians came to Greece during V - ID millennia BC from two
sides: South - Crete, Mycenae and from North part - Delphi.
= =Crete in Armennian means: q • p • b • m • b qpuwm wpqwb' mhq t

Greek historian J.A. Papapostolou in his book "Crete" wrote: ''The
earliest traces of civilization••• have been noted at Knossos and belong to the
end of the 7th millennium BC. The man who lived in Crete at that time
knew how to cultivate wheat and used primitive stone tools. ••• About the
middle of the 5th millennium BC the making and use of hand-made pottery
vases began.
At the beginning of this period (from 2600 BC) the Neolithic elements
still held sway in the way of life and art. Quickly, however, the old traits
were creatively modified and the new inhabitants sought and found their
own ways of exploring the rich resources of the island and came into
contract with Egypt, Asia Minor and Syria. From there they secured
supplies of copper, tin, ivory and gold" [111, p.13]
The word Mycenae in Armennian means: U • }1 • p • b • fiw = Ubb'
uWIUlqwfig wl1pngfihqwq fiw = it became the castle of big (top) men.
Mycenae, the old town in South Greece, was the centre of Aegean
(Cretan-Mycenaean) Culture of the Bronze Age (about 2800 - 1000 BC).
The bloom of Mycenae was in 1400 - 1200 BC, but about 1200 BC Mycenae
was perished in fire [87, pp. 802, 1538].
In National historical Museum in Athens I have been, of course, also in
halls of Crete-Mycenaean culture. Here everywhere on walls were the big
Suns of gold colour with large and long rays. These Suns are the main
indication or mark of the Armennian old culture. I bought there books
about Crete and Mycenaean culture and was surprised, because in the
books, among illustrations there was not shown even one Sun [111].
=The word Delphi in Armennian means: 11 • bl • UJ. • h • }1 (}111) 1lP11wg
blwfi pnlnp UJ.wZlDDIl l1wIUl1tq = all worshipper men stand before (me). These
are the words of Armennian Main God AR (the Sun) and Mother-Goddess
Haya (Earth). In honour of the AR the famous Temple of the Sun-God
(Apollo) was built in Delphi, before the full formation of Greek nation with
their Pantheon of Gods. ''In 8 - 6 centuries BC in Greece polices (town-
states) were formed in Athens, Sparta, Crete. In 5 - 4 cent. BC was the
bloom of polices. The bloom of Athens was at Pericl (443 - 429)" [87, p.339].
Greek historian B. Petrakos in his book ''Delphi'' wrote: "From the
excavations carried out in the area, we know that in the period now called
"Mycenaean" (14th to 11th cent. BC) Delphi was a small village whose
inhabitants worshipped a female deity, the original owner of the place,
