Stormig Posted July 27, 2004 Report Share Posted July 27, 2004 The church is one the 4 churches that stood near to each other in a gorge and where used by the Turkish army for artillery exercises. Don't remember the name though. Yes. Rough geographic location, maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armen Posted July 27, 2004 Report Share Posted July 27, 2004 Yes. Rough geographic location, maybe? Vaspourakan province? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormig Posted July 27, 2004 Report Share Posted July 27, 2004 Since the canal one is over with, let's keep it up in the same genre while we decide what to do with the church - what canal is this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormig Posted July 27, 2004 Report Share Posted July 27, 2004 Alright, I'll just say where it is (unless we all have to agree to at least 24 hours of silence by the poster)... It is this place: http://www.virtualani.freeserve.co.uk/khtzkonk/ Khtzgonk Monastery. Took that pic myself and in fact have it as background on my phone. http://hyeforum.com/index.php?showtopic=89...ndpost&p=103203 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azat Posted July 27, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2004 Yes, Azat, it is the Falkirk Wheel. How did you know? Searched for "rotating boat lift"? Or seen it featured on National Geographic Channel? http://www.thefalkirkwheel.co.uk/ http://www.thefalkirkwheel.com The other is an Armenian church. Actually Discovery did a program on it couple of years back. It is an incredible thing. But yes I did have to search to find the location and the name.

Stormig Posted July 27, 2004 Report Share Posted July 27, 2004 I actually passed through it once. Very narrow, left like a metre on each side of the ferry, makes you wonder why so tight. Golly, I've been all figured out. Up next: http://s94772541.onlinehome.us/contest8.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azat Posted July 27, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2004 (edited) What the heck is that Stormes? Okay this one is easy, but one of my favorite shots Edited July 27, 2004 by Azat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nakharar Posted July 27, 2004 Report Share Posted July 27, 2004 I saw this place in a documentary I believe. These mounds are connected to each other through trajectories that run many kilometers in Britain and date from the neolithic period. No one knows what they stand for. I maybe totally off track and mixing things up though. Sorry, I have to pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormig Posted July 27, 2004 Report Share Posted July 27, 2004 home of the oldest playable organ in the world Azat, I think Nakharar is on track, at least as far as the Neolithic bit and function are concerned. See the stones just inside the trenches? You've seen the like before, a more popular example, first thing that pops into one's mind when you say "Britain" and "Neolithic," megaliths grouped together in circles with no-one knowing whether they're religious, astrological, and/or ancestor worship-related, except here they're spaced out - really spaced out. And there's a town built in the middle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Accelerated Posted July 28, 2004 Report Share Posted July 28, 2004 Given that the statue clearly has the word Constantine written on its base this is not much of a guess - or, for that matter, much of a challenge. Indeed, so clear in fact that the only person that saw it (or perhaps knew that there was an inscription there) was you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Accelerated Posted July 28, 2004 Report Share Posted July 28, 2004 http://webcomposer.pace.edu/nreagin/spring2002b/Mother12.jpg Im surprised no one got this. The statue, like the one in Yerevan was built as part of a memorial complex to the heroes of WW2. This particular one built in Stalingrad is the largest on account of the ferocity and importance of the battle that took place in and around that city. The statue is pointing westward, calling the Soviet people to expel the Nazi invader (coming from the West). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Accelerated Posted July 28, 2004 Report Share Posted July 28, 2004 yeah, I wasnt implying that there are only two (Im a certain there are many more in other cities) - only making a reference to Yerevan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormig Posted July 28, 2004 Report Share Posted July 28, 2004 Allow me to clarify that I didn't find it funny - was more thinking along the lines of kicking myself. At least it might have struck me that it was a memorial versus chest thumping for the Indian Ocean or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
