Arpa Posted November 15, 2003 Report Share Posted November 15, 2003 I wonder if Turkey has sent "scientists" to prove their cliam to the land? http://www.armenianow.com/2003/november14/...atures/history/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arpa Posted November 16, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2003 This is for you.... Nairi. About the word Nairi: The Armenian letter "i" (sounds like "ee") can be traced to 15th c. BC inscriptions for water. Both the Nairi and the Haius used this sound/symbol, as did the Assyrians. Thus, the word "nair" meant land, and "i" stood for water/rivers. The land of rivers north of Mesopotamia is that between the Euphrates and the Tigris, which flow from tributaries and sources above and below Mount Ararat. Ararat was already known as the mountain of the gods, and the territory was one of the major trade routes from Asia. Click back and forth and read about the history of Erebuni, Shengavit and Nairi; http://www.tacentral.com/erebuni/nairi.asp 90.000 years???

From the original Assyrian to the Arabic nahr/river and even to the Turkish Nehr/river.Look here; http://www.sungaya.de/schwarz/sumerer/geog...hie/euphrat.htm If Charents were a girl she would have written;"Ou Nairian tghaneri chlabazuk parn em sirum..." Chlabazuk=muscular arm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
