Mission Hills, CA 91345Telephone (818) 838-4862____________________________________________Armenological Studies, Research and ExhibitsDirector: Melkon Armen KhandjianAndArarat Eskijian MuseumFounder : Luther Eskijian http://www.ararat-eskijian-museum.com/images/Map-Exhibit.jpg Jointly present an exhibition of Armenia Thru 3000 Years of MapsSunday June 25, 2000 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. It's been said: "That a picture is worth a thousand words". But a mapmaker in 1650 has said: "The eye will learn more in an hour from a map, than the ear can learn in a day from discourse". Did the Armenians discover and settle in Middle America 1500 years before Columbus? Were the Portuguese and the Spaniards migrants from Armenia and spoke Armenian before the Roman conquest? What facts does Das Annoleid, the epic poems of the Bavarian Germans, disclose about their migration out of Armenia and conquest of Bavaria some 900 years ago? And did the Germans in general originate from the Oudi district of Artsakh? Are the roots of the Irish and the Albanians from the Caucasian Armenia? Why does a late 19th century renowned American historian claim that the first settlers of New England, 1620, the Puritan Pilgrims, were the religious and spiritual descendants of the Paulician Armenian religious reformers? Find out about these intriguing questions by visiting the exposition of Armenia Thru 3000 Years of Maps. The exposition of maps is a journey thru millenniums, from beginnings of history until today. It is uniquely educational and cultural experience fro individuals of all ages. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A unique exhibition of the chronological history of Armenia presented thru ancient, antiquarian and modern maps and atlases. On display are either-original maps or facsimiles carved on clay, drawn on parchment or printed on paper. These maps, encompassing three millenniums, cover subjects such as Biblical stories of Eden and Noah's Ark; Greek, Roman, European and Arab maps; maps drawn by Columbus and other great discoverers; the hand drawn map of Leonardo da Vinci; maps showing the Armenian occupation of Jerusalem before the Jews; maps of Armenian regional costumes; celestial maps; Clician Armenia and the Crusaders; the maps of the genocide; and maps of Armenia printed by the Ottoman Turks. All these international maps designate the landmass between the Caspian, Black and Mediterranean Seas asArmenia! Until the 16th Century, the mapmakers did not recognize Turkey. As for Azerbaidjan it is non-existent until Sovietization of the area! This exhibition is an undeniable witness tohistoyr: That Armenia is the only surviving nation since antiquity in spite of three millenniums of invasions, destructions, migrations, persecutions and genocide. http://www.ararat-eskijian-museum.com/Maps...ps-Exhibit.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chapel is open to Christians on a non-denominational basis and has no political affiliation. Luther Eskijian, the architect, desired to reproduce an exterior structure resembling ancient Armenian churches as closely as possible. Among other interior facets the altar is designed after the church at Etchmiadzine, with eagle carvings at the top of the columns, similar to those of the Sixth Century church at Ani. The bas relief angel carvings replicate those of the church at Aght'amar from the Eleventh Century located in Van. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJ Posted February 19, 2001 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2001 MosJan, It would be very interesting to know what are their arguments based on. Like is there a substance there, or are they a couple of lunatics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
