Ararat_arev Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 (edited) -Records from other powerful nations mentioning our more ancient history:- Sumerian inscription 'Haya' as early as 3000 BC way before 'Hayasa' of Hittite inscription 1400 BC Akkadian inscriptions from as early as 2400 BC mention the 'Armani' (aka Armani-Subartu or Arme-Shubria) near Lake Van Tutmoses III of Egypt (1500 BC) mentions the people of 'Ermenen' paying tribute when he held his court at Ninevah, and says that in their land "heaven rests upon its four pillars." (note: Tutmose III was the first Pharaoh to cross the Euphrates to reach the Armenian Highlands) Old Persian name 'Armin' meant "dweller of the garden of Eden" (Persians also used this form 'Armin(a)' for Armenia) Menua, king of Urartu (our Khaldi tribe cousins) mentions the 'Armeni' native in the "land of Ari" (Ariyan) Hurrian-Aryan links Hurrians also known as Armani-Subari were an Armenian tribe, "Har"an was the capital located near UrHai/Urfa at the time. "Har"-minni is the alternative way of saying "Ar"mani, which the "H" is silent and its pronounced as "Ar"mani. To this day Assyrians call Armenians by "Armani" (aka Armani-Subartu or Arme-Shubria) from the 2300 BC Akkadian inscriptions referring to them as Armani. Some scholars reveals that Hurrians are the same as Subarians, which reveals that "Armani"-Subartu is Hurrians. The land of Ararat or the Armenian Highland is the home of the "Aryan"(Indo-Europeans) people. Armenians refer to themselves as "Aryaee" (Aryan) in their language. The root word "Ar" meaning Sun, Light, Fire (the same as the word "Hurri/Hur") which is used in a lot of words such as Ararat, Aratta, Armenia, Armeni, Armen, Arev, etc etc. The root word which in Semitic form is "Ur". Also, language changes over course of 1000 year time periods and when moving to different lands. Even today Armenians have different sounds with words like "H" and "Kh" = "X" (example of the word Hurri/Khurri). Arevmdahye's are South-Western Armenians and Arevelahye's are Eastern Armenians in Iran and modern Armenia. Since ancient times words were pronounced slightly different but yet same meanings and same ethnic peoples. So the words Hurrian and Aryan are pronounced different but yet remain the same word and meaning. Tigran the Great's crown (look here Armenians for his image) is exactly of the "Hurri"-Mitanni seal with the 2 eagles and sun with the 8 (number of eternity) rays. Hurri-Mitanni kings names like Artatama translates to "most righteous", which the first part of the word Arta is righteous is in Armenian. It is interesting to point out also that Artatama's (Armenian Aryan-IE name) title was "King of the Hurri", which yet again reveals that Hurrians are linked with Aryans. Tusratta translates to "ten chariots", and Tus is Ten in Armenian. Hurri/Hur the very word used now in Armenian, was the same word and meaning in "Hurri"-Mitanni times. The Khaldi (from the Nairi people), an Armenian tribe from the Hittites, mixed with the Armenians later in their history, that is why people refer to them with the term Indo-"European". Armenians refer to themselves as "Aryan" people. The Indo and Persian Aryans seperated from them during 1200 to 800 BC. That is why a little later the Persians established there empire in 500 BC. The Armenian legacy of Sumer-Hurrian-Hyksos heritage in the second millennium B.C. had already developed a rich architectural style. This in turn spread and influenced the nearby cultures of ancient Near East. Building techniques and architecture as such reached a high degree of development during the period of the Araratian (Urartian) Kingdom of Van (XIIIth -VIth centuries BC). The great Armenian civilization of Sumer was inherited and continued to progress under the powerful Armenian kingdoms of Hurri-Mitanni and Haiasa (ethnically and linguistically tied to their Indo-European kinsmen -- the Hittites) in the Second Millennium B.C. We think that much before the Achaemenians, in the times of Hurri-Mitanni, the name Mihr was already known to the people, particularly to those living in the regions of Hurri-Mitanni or Armani-Subari (and later Arme-Subria) where Sasun is located, in the form of Mitra (or perhaps even as Mher). Otherwise, it would not have been so readily accepted by the people during the Achaemenian period or later. The word Ar-ma-ni is a compound noun, where the first component Ar is none other than the name of the natioanal sun-god of the Armens,-AR- and the second component -ma-(me a varient) ssignifies 'build, make, beget, offspring, son'. Ma, with this meaning, was known to many peoples of the Ner East in antiquity. The goddess of birth and fertility, so well known in Asia Minor, was called by this very same name-Ma.(Ma also occurs in its reduplicated from -Mama or Mami in Assyro-Babylonian inscriptions). This root-word (and also its variant -me) is found also in Sumerian language with the same meaning. It results that Ar-ma (and its variant Ar-me) means 'built by Ar, born of Ar', or 'Ar's offspring', 'Ar's/Ara's son' ('the son of the sun', Arevvordi). The ending -ni (the plural-forming or toponymic suffix-ni is found in Subarian-Hurrian-Nairian place and tribal na We find the plural form ni also in Armenian. Hurri is the Sun with the wings the very Hurri-Mitanni symbol. Hurri/Hur/Har = Fire, Sun, Light just like "Ar" to this very day in Armenian. To clarify the issue since there is a lot of confusion, dividing "Aryan" people like the Indo-Aryans only being Hurrian-Aryan is misunderstood. Its not only Indo but "Aryan" is from the Armenian highlands, the Aryan peoples spread across to Persia and India etc. The "Indo" Aryans and Persian Aryans migrated south from Armenians (Aryans) around 800 BC to their lands. There is no question that the Hurrian and Urartian languages were very similar, and some have used this evidence that the Hurrian Armenian tribes had origins in the Urartu area in and around Lake Van before migrating to South-Western Armenia. The Hurrian timeframe in Syria (South-Western historic Armenia), the area that the Hurri-Mitanni kingdom of Armenia was present (c. 2300-1200 BC) predates the timeframe of Urartu in Eastern Armenia (c. 1000-585), it is more often considered likely that the Armenians of Urartu had origins there, and fled from the South-Western Armenian Highlands into the Eastern part of Armenia after the Hittites and Assyrians conquered the region. Chronologically, the Urartian language seems to be a continuation of Hurrian dialects, and not the other way around. Image:Hurrian-AncientArmenian.jpg Last point is that those who wrote the inscriptions were the elite. The common people didnt understand all of it at that time. There are even Armenian words today that are not understood, because of writers using difficult words. [edit] Extra info Map showing "Nairi" near Lake Van part of Hurri-Mitanni and (K)Hayasa is there also http://satrapa1.com/articulos/antigu...do/mitanni.jpg This clearly shows at the time of King Bartarna 1450 BC the beginnings of Hurri-Mitanni, that they already had the area around Lake Van. That was there to begin with and then they stretched further west. Egyptian sources apply the term 'nhr', Naharina or Nairi (from the Assyro-Akkadian word for 'river' or 'land of rivers' Tigris Euphrates and Armenian Highlands) referring to Hurri-Mitanni with Naharina (Nairi).

Ararat_arev Posted March 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 (edited) http://myspace.com/30451865 Made a History of Armenia pagehttp://a590.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/23/l_f26db7a421d9683441d5f21cc7ad286d.gif This summer (August 11) marks the 4,500 year of Navasard (Haik's calendar). Haik (Orion) in ancient times in Armenia was the Sun of righteousness rising with healing in his wings. The 4 sides and 3 middle stars of Haik/Orion represent the 4 seasons and 3 months in each season, making the total of the 12 months. The 12 signs of the zodiac go around the same pattern 3 months, 4 seasons. Haik/Orion represents the Sun (Ar or Arev) rising with healing in his wings. Precession is shown in the lunar cycle of the 4 weeks (7's) 3 in each. The moon goes through the 12 signs, 2 half days in each sign completing the month. The 4 weeks (7's) make the ancient cross (khatch) symbol which shows the precession cycle. 3 signs of the 12 are in each of the 4 (7's)weeks. Going through the moon phases like how the swaying of precession would be from new moon, half moon, quarter moon, half again, and new again. Each 1000 years is a day so 2 half days is 2000 half years which it goes through of the 12 signs 2 half days in a month. So also the 2 meaning male and female 1000 in each. The cycle of life is like the seasons in a year. We go through darkness in winter and rise to life again at spring. The same with the Sun rising at Spring representing rebirth of life and path to eternal life. The Aratta, Metsamor, and Kura-Araxes cultures were the same, and during the time of this culture was the time of the Armens and Haik in the 3rd millennium BC. There was high knowledge of astronomy at this time in Armenia. http://a351.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/50/m_5f6f3e6004bf0b3e950ecd6c80a12746.jpg Edited March 9, 2007 by Ararat_arev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aratta-Kingdom Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 (edited) Great job Ararat-arev. The revisionists try to re-write the history for over 150 years. Re-writing the history and stealing our identity is one of the major reason behind the Armenian-genocide. Keep up the good work and don't fall for any cheap, provocative, comments. I will be gone for a while. After i come back, we gonna set the record straight. Nothing scares them more than the truth from coming out...and if it's done by a personal initiative of someone with conviction, then they'll be sorry for ever speaking to you. BTW, Hovik Nersesian is a living legend. Artak Movsesyan does a great job too...but he is young. I'm sure in no time he'll be where Hovik Nersesian is today.

HyeFedayis Posted March 11, 2007 Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 This information is inaccurate, first the image of that thing on Tigranes head can mean anything, So basing history on a image like that is very wrong. Secondly Hurrians are not identical to Armenians. We can barely trace back Urartu, we need to put a lock on that before we go further in the pit. Last but not least these historians and scholars are the worst revisionists ever, and tac central and geocities site's mean nothing. Theres alot of good information from Diankoff though.

This is all based on simple wording. I disagree... To disconnect from parts of history is dangerous, We should own it ... Proof is valid we evolved from other cultures around us as well, We were stronger at the times hence we remain today they don't ! Hitties are a perfect example I suppose. Turks use propaganda to claim Armenians were roaming around the area so we have no valid claims on historical Armenia... What's really wrong with that assult on historical facts is that Armenian kingdoms were landlords of easten Anatolia during those periods. History channel or any other network shows Asia Minor as Anatolia during the time Armenia had Kingdoms ! Should we not focus on it instead ? We must correct any denial of old Armenia on all documenteries to show it as Armenia... Not erasing the name. Let's challenge them on facts alone and prove Armenia was the name at times . Expose misrepresantations of history and demand corrections to be made without further delay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted March 11, 2007 Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 Regarding our claims to our historic homeland, whether Armenia existed starting 700 BC or starting 3500 BC, it doesn't really make a difference. It is a fact that Armenians have a much longer history in the area than Turks/Azeris do. Besides, historic justifications for territorial claims do not matter in the eyes of the international community. A proof of this is Karabagh. It's been a while that Armenians of Karabagh separated themselves from Azerbaijan, yet not a single nation recognizes its sovereignty, regardless of the fact that Armenians have constituted a majority in Karabagh for centuries. All it takes is the strength to impose these facts (Karabagh, Western Armenia, etc.) to the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but your going to need sources, not these Armenian historians artak or what ever, there nothing if your going to connect Armenian history you need solid sources, showing where you get the information from, 1) Artak movisyan is not a third party source, so many historians may reject this. Which he probably does not cite other non-Armenian historians because they go ahead and do it there selves, which may cause mistakes and other problems etc. By the way, we have connections to the hitties also, they definitely were not related to Turkey, they probably all came from the Turkic migration or what ever like I care about there crappy, selfish, ugly, violent, rampaging, pillaging, genocidal, murdering history by the Turks. But we need to connect further to Urartu, Urartu included, Lake sevan, Lake van, mount Ararat etc, that would do very good to us thats the most important not to mention the history of Noah. This would be included in many books. But Turks currently try to erase our history, we need more historians that support us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What we need is exposure in the media outlets not to discredit any link to us... Calling on others to validate our history is redundent if I may say it with sarcasm. We are Armenian, We are not imaginary nor require historians to reject any reference to Urartu - Nairi ... We changed, evolved, adapted, assimilated others in to our cultures and exchange treaties with other kingdoms or empires. We don't lack proof only because evidence still remains Armenians were unique to Sevan and Ararat. Old Hollywood movies for example are a good start to look for this revisionsim thats going on, They show Armenia as Asia Minor . Today it's Turkey or present day Turkey. Do you realise the ramifications to a simple atlas in a time period purged of vital crucial information? If Alexander passed by Armenia... How come they show it as Anatolia ? that's bad information and if it continues people will buy it as such, It's an uphill battle to correct the damage that's being done . We can't stand idle to it, Stand firm and demand recognition of Armenian no matter how it's being utilized, I guarantee people in parts of the US still don't have a clue about us. They watch television to see some schmuck with the name of goldstein producing a documentry show claiming ancient ruins of Ani as Turkish !!

There is no misrepresentation in that or any other map that shows Anatolia. There were numerous countries in Anatolia. Armenia was merely one of many and at the time of Alexander of very little to no importance at all. Most maps don't show any countries of Anatolia at all. Many show Cappadocia and Armenia.

All it takes is the strength to impose these facts (Karabagh, Western Armenia, etc.) to the world. If the armenians were to record the facts of the past, none of this would have happened. If we were to fight what belongs to us, none of these would have happened. We don't need to impose anything on anyone as long as we know nothing about our own identity. Beside, let's not go against the cycle of life. We have lived in those lands for over 10 years, there are still some armenians who live in Western-Armenia. We don't need the west to tell us how to live our life. Just like Iraq, Turkey has no future. Turkey will part apart from the second the Zionists stop supporting that country.

Alexander did not set a foot in Armenia, but he did fight the armenians. The armenian units in the persian army have crashed Alexander's soldiers to a point when he himself had to leave his position and come for help. He would have enter armenia and collect taxes just like in any other places, but after he saw the strength of the armenian soldiers, he didn't wanted to take the chance. That's what made him so great and different from all the others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He left Armenia alone because we caused him no alarm unlike the Persian empire which he felt as a threat. Where the Armenians in the Persian army came to play ? And is there proof of it ? I honestly don't recall that chapter... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aratta-Kingdom Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 Yes MA. the armenian cavalry took part in the 'battle of Granicus'. In fact, the armenians where the most heavily armed among all the others. After Alexander the Great defeated Darius III, just like the others who were loyal to Darius III, armenians returned back to their country and formed armed units capable of defending Armenia.

MadArmo Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 with a pleasure Shnor agal em... I applaud your efforts to share your knoweldge with us . I agree our forfathers should have done better records keeping and maped Armenia's borders with deligence. History is very crucial in my opinion and to let it unchalleged to lies or revisionism is not justified. For example and you might not agree Palisitian historians challenge the Jews and funny thing is they have archives to claim validity, Offcourse Israel being stronger and media outlets to help their cause squashed Palistinian idendity. They claim other tribes where their ancient enemies and Arabs never validated their version... Farce ! So, Let's protect Armenian History and never let others to be the experts when it comes to Armenia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HyeFedayis Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 No Fedayi, you are wrong. It's not 'Artak or what ever'. You might 'claim' Artak Movsesyan is young, knows nothing about history...Hovik Nersesian, on the other hand, is one of the few historians who goes to the source and knows how to read the ancient scriptures. Please, at least do a research before you denounce their work. If you don't wanna read the books, here is your chance to larn about Hovik Nersesian and Artak Movsesyan Nersesian: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=48...esian&hl=en http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1...ravot&hl=en The Movsesyan Video: Thanks for telling me but there work is pure crap, there is nothing good about it there nationalist historians who make it look like or where we descended from were only Armenians, and its revisioned crap like this shouldn't exist if they are so "good" with there crappy theories we would see this everywhere yet we don't its for Armenians who like to dream alot, and don't want to go further. Facing facts are hard sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ararat_arev Posted March 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 ARARAT...ARATTA --The Land of the Mountains Where the Gods Live of the great Epic of Gilgamesh. The Land where the Garden of Eden -- the Tree of Life and the Tree of Wisdom is located...the Twin peaks of Mashu - the SYMBOL of the holy Cosmic Mountain. When many of us hear this name we picture the birth and rebirth of humanity and human civilization in the sacred land in the highlands of ARMANIA. The Bible also recounts the ancient stories of Genesis, including the Paradise [birth of Humanity] and also the Rebirth of Humanity in the sacred Mountains of the Land of Ararat, the holy land where the resurrection of the human race took place. The Twin Peaks of Mount Ararat are in the heart of Armenia, and from a bipolar geographical objective one can argue that of the world. They are symbolic of the Holy Mountains of the Land of Aratta/Ararat/Ararad [Kuti-Guti-mountain range in the Sumerian inscriptions and the Al-Judi of the later Islamic writings] -- the location of Ararad in the Korduk Province in the southern section of the Armenian Plateau [The Twin Peak Masis in the Ayrarat Province being the SYMBOL of Armenia-Ararat -- Land of the Holy Mountains]. Since times immemorial Ararat [also Ayrarat in Armenian sources, Aratta in Sumerian inscriptions, Urartu in Assyrian inscriptions and Ararat in Hebrew sources] has been a Holy Mountain and a Holy land for the peoples of the ancient world. http://www.armenianhighland.com/images/nkarner/nkar_1486.jpg A R M A N I - S U B A R T U IN THIRD MILLENNIUM BC T H E C R A D L E O F I N D O - E U R O P E A N S (A R Y A N S) The Sumerians that were of Armenid extraction had established one of the first centers of civilization in the lower part of Mesopotamia. From the very first foundations in the sixth millennium BC, the Armenic Sumerians grew over a period of 3000 years to become the most sophisticated society on EArth. As was ably demonstrated by Samuel Noah Kramer in his classic work History Begins in Sumer, the number of 'firsts' attributed to the Sumerians is virtually endless. They designed the first colored pottery. They conducted the first medical operations. They made the first musical instruments. They introduced the first veterinary skills and developed the first written language. They also became highly accomplished engineers, mathematicians, librarians, authors, archivists, judges and priests. They were the descendants of the shamanic high priests of ARMAN-ARAM of Subartu-Aratta of Metsamor [Great Mother's], Ur-Hai [urfa, later Edessa the ORION center], Harran, Göbekli Tepe [Navel Mountain -- translation of ancient Arman name associated with Female+Male union], Nevali Çori, Çayonü and Çatal Huyuk. Most scholars agree that Sumerians initially inhabited Armenian Highland and gradually descended to first Northern Mesopotamia and eventually spread further south, establishing the cities of Ur [excavated by Sir Leonard Wooley in the 1920s], Uruk and Eridu [note the sacred AR-MAN variations -- AR-UR-ER-OR prefix]. Fortunately a number of Sumerian inscriptions dating from somewhere between 2750 and 2500 BC have been preserved. They give us a fascinating glimpse into the Sumerian origins and culture. In the great Epic of Gilgamesh, the Sumerians recount the land of their ancestors, the Arattans in the Highlands of Armenia. Most scholars agree that Aratta [suburi - Sumerians also known as Suberians and called themselves Shinar[ar]s] was in fact the first Indo-European state that existed in the first half of the third millennium BC.
