Archeology in Armenia Yields Discoveries!



This is superb! While people are worrying about the elections, the neighbors, the censorship, etc., archaeologists in Armenia are making history-changing discoveries!
As a result of excavations in Aratashen, evidence was discovered of a neolithic settlement dating to 5-4 century BC.

Found materials make it possible to make certain adjustments to the historical data on the trends of development, not only of Armenia but other nearby regions, as well.

According to the budget of RA 2007, the Institute allocated 190 million drams, which is about $521,000.
I would love to dig in Armenia. Who knows what you'd find? It would be tremendously great for the public to be made more aware of such findings and other discoveries within Armenia. What better way to inspire the young and further our culture?
