10 WORLD’S OLDEST THINGS FROM ARMENIA
Over the millennia, countless nations and countries have arisen and disappeared into the annals of history, but some have stuck around. It’s impossible to say which have been around longest with complete certainty, but Armenia is known to be some of the oldest.
The first evidence of human settlement in Armenia dates back to 90,000 BC. Further findings in caves and stone inscriptions are a proof of human settlement in Armenia through Paleolithic period.
Some of the world’s oldest things were found in Armenia. The world’s oldest leather shoe (5,500 years old), sky observatory (7,500 years old), depictions of agriculture (7,500 years old) and wine-making facility (6,100 years old) all were found in the territory of Armenia.

Journey to World's Most Dangerous Nuclear Plant
A friend of mine @DaveLegenda told me a story about a town in Armenia with the most dangerous nuclear plant. While in Georgia - I decided to take a night train to Yerevan and visit the mystic city of Metsamor. On arrival - it seemed the town was very gray and soviet. After spending a few hours - I felt as if this was the most depressing town - dangerous, abandoned, rocky, and gray. Would you want to visit such a place?

ARMENIA TRAVEL WITH KBS: ZORATS KARER (IN KOREAN)
Zorats Karer, also called Karahunj, is a prehistoric archaeological site near the city of Sisian in the Syunik Province of Armenia.
Zorats Karer is frequently referred to in international tourist lore as Armenian Stonehenge. In total registered 222 standing stones which are up to 2,8 meters tall and approximately 10 tons heavy. About 84 of the stones feature a circular hole.
The phrase Zorats Karer is translated from Armenian as The Worrier Stones or Stone Army. The name Karahunj is interpreted as deriving from two Armenian words: Kar, meaning stone, and Hunj, meaning sound. Thus the name Karahunj means Speaking Stones. This interpretation is related to the fact that the stones make whistling sounds on a windy day, presumably because of multiple reach-through holes bored under different angles into the stones in prehistoric times.
In 2010, the University of Oxford and the Royal Geographical Society of Great Britain explored Zorats Karer and concluded that this megalithic complex is probably one of the oldest observatories in the world, placing Karahunj in one row with Stonehenge in England and Carnac in France.
The Russian and Armenian archaeoastronomists have suggested that the standing stones could have been used for astronomical observation. The team of archaeologists from the University of Munich, concluded that Zorats Karer was mainly a necropolis from the Middle Bronze Age to the Iron Age.
On December 2010, Karahunj was featured in an Episode 14 of the History Channel show Ancient Aliens, titled Unexplained Structures.
Whether is an observatory, or just a mythical necropolis, while wandering around the standing stones, you will feel powerful vibes and some strong energy all around the site.

EXPLORE SAGHMOSAVANK MONASTERY | AROUND AND ABOUT WITH LAPSWORLD | VL02020E003
The Saghmosavank or the monastery of the Psalms is a 13th-century Armenian monastic complex located in the village of Saghmosavan in the Aragatsotn Province of Armenia. Like the Hovhannavank monastery which is five kilometers south, Saghmosavank is situated atop the precipitous gorge carved by the Kasagh river. Their silhouettes dominate the adjacent villages and rise sharp against the background of the mountains crowned by Mount Aragats.
The main structures of the monasteries erected by Prince Vache Vachutyan—the Church of Zion in Saghmosavank ( buit in 1215) and the Church of Karapet in Hovhannavank (1216-1221)—belong to the same type of cross-winged domed structure with two-floor annexes in all the corners of the building. Subcupola space predominates in the interiors of both churches, which is reflected in the exterior shapes of these structures.
The architech of this monastery is Vardapet Aighbairik.
Kasagh is a river in the west-central region of modern Armenia which flows north to south. It originates near Mount Aragats in Aragatsotn province, flows south into Armavir province and into the Metsamor River, which itself is a tributary of the Aras River.
Archaelogical find in Armenia
University of Chicago Archaeologist Hannah Chazin examines an Obsidian Flake found during a dig by Project ArAGATS in Aragotsotn Marz, Armenia, and explains how bronze age obsidian tools were formed.

5 Day Trips from Toronto Without a Car #toronto #canada #travel #iphone #newcomer #day #park
Hi Everyone,
We have successfully completed our first 6 months in Canada. Within these 6 months we have explored many places. As a newcomer at first it seemed a bit difficult to travel. But the public transport is really good in Toronto. You can actually rely on them.
In this video , I have shared some day trips that we went by train/bus. Staying jn the Downtown area has really helped us a lot. For Niagra we took GO Train.For rest of the day trips we took Parkbus.
You can book the trips online from . They arrange guided hikes through out the year. The trips are well organised. So really helpful for a first timer.
Another note to any newcomer is- Try to get your G2/G license ASAP . Its very easy and convenient to rent a car here. So you can take long drives as well.
Hope these details are helpful. Keep supporting!!

Dawna stolica Armenii popadła w ruinę i jest niemal zrównana z ziemią. Niesamowity klimat tego miejsca zobaczysz w tym filmie!
