Totally agree! Thanks for stopping by, I really appreciate it... more Armenian and other history to come in the near future, stay tuned and safe!

this is persian history not armenian

@@slingadingding1639 Nope. Persians didn't enter the region until well after Urartu was established. Many of the names in Urartu (both personal and geographic) have Armenian etymologies, not Iranian. Urartu was located mostly in Armenia and modern Turkey, only a little bit of it was located in Iran (Urmia area). It's widely accepted that there were Armenians in Urartu (even the Urartian language has Armenian loanwords into it). The debate is whether the ruling class were Armenian or a Hurrian-esque tribe (which is what the language they written Urartian language is).

@hasan veysel erol I know that urartu/hurrians were a people of their own, but they got incorporated to the persian empire (there even was as hurrian based state called 'manna' in azerbaijan province of iran). If you look at genetics, Iranian peoples like kurds, azeri and Persians are the closet modern population to the urartu/hurrians.

slinga ding ding that your made up Azerbaijani agenda somewhere else:)

Thanks so my friend, I really appreciate it! I'll be doing more on various aspects of Armenian history soon...thanks again and stay safe!

@@HistorywithCy make the History of Hajasa! 2000BC, first Armenian Kingdom!

@@hayellada-ball3836 Hayasa was a confederation of numerous Armenian tribes. It wasnt a kingdom yet. When Hayasa, Shupria, and other Armenian confederations came together, the Armenian kingdom of Urartu (which originally was a tribe under the larger Armenian Nayiri tribe) was established.

its not your history. Modern DNA results saying armenians was Phrygian.Actually Herodotus writed about Phrygia and how they located Urartu location when Urartu conquered by Media and phrygians migrated to Urartu location with this way.

@@VuqarMemmedthis is wrong and outdated information. modern genetic testing proves that armenians are urartians

To be honest, Urartu wasn't Indo-European (Armenian). But you're right, since Armenians still live there now.

Language of Urartu is nothing to do with Armenian, but rather similarly to Ingush and Chechen. Modern Armenia is not related to this Kingdom.

@@abuzartalibov1223 We actually don't know what family Hurro-Urartian is the closest to. We just don't have enough data to tell. Some scholars believe it's more closely related to Indo-European. Others don't bother relating it to either NE Caucassian or IE. Mind you, I personally want to believe Hurrian is related to Chechen. But until we get more data, we just don't know. But, if it's of any interest, there are some Urartian loanwords in Armenian, suggesting that the two were in contact with each other for a long time. At least they were neighbours.

Yeah, Karen Radner is great...I have her book Assyria: A Very Short Introduction which is a really great survey of the life of the ancient Assyrian people.

@@HistorywithCy Being a Swede, I'm always eager to learn more about my ancestors, the vikings....the norsemen. But, with that being said....I love learning more about ancient history in general, wherever or whoever it might be about, Inca, Aztec, Maya, Hittites, Spartans and the likes. You just carry on with your excellent work, your shorter AND your longer (love the maps btw!) videos and I'll sure tag along for the ride! Here's a tought, imagine if they'd been wrong the whole time....and one day (in the near future) stumble across what was once kept inside Alexandrias ancient library, that those back then managed to hide it all before it was destroyed, THAT would be some interesting reading! 😳😲

Will do my friend... most of those - Maya, Inca, Aztec I have coming up. Oh, I really hope we find some of these libraries and texts... not just Alexandria but so much was destroyed during the Mongol invasions all over Asia and parts of Europe.

no, Mittani was not Armenian state, Hayassa Azi was

@@HistorywithCyit goes back to 3000bc That’s when the first of the states of hayasa azzi where established

Yup, you're correct! The Behistun inscription was one of the first ancient texts/inscriptions that I studied...that and Ganj nameh inscriptions near Hamadan. I've had actually visited both when I was young... they start out "baga vazrakha Ahuramaza...." A great god is Ahuramazda.... Cool stuff! Thanks for stopping by, I really appreciate it...more to come soon...stay safe!

I really want to visit Iran and see with my own eyes that inscriptions. That is the earliest documentary of ancient Armenia‘s existence.

Hi, thanks for stopping by, I really appreciate it! Yeah, it was territoriality much larger than it is today, especially in late antiquity/early medieval times. I want to go more into that history soon... Thanks again and stay safe!

@Gev G Duh, we know, that's exactly what he says in this video.

And yet the most accurate.

Wow thank you for sharing this information. I had no idea. My father and his entire family are pure Armenians. My mothers people and also my birthplace is Russia, Rostov-on-Don. My mother’s family comes from Don Cossacks. I’m always happy to learn more about my Armenian heritage.

Hi! Yeah I've been thinking about how to approach that - either do an ep. 4 or just do one new program on all of Elamite history. It's been a while since I put one on Elam out so many viewers might already forget what happened in past episodes. I'll look further into it...thanks for the suggestion!

@@HistorywithCy looking forward to watching it anyway

Yeah that motif is fascinating. It's present in Egyptian, Hittite, Assyrian, Persian and so many other forms of ancient Near Easter art. I'm actually a Zoroastrian and it's essentially been adopted as the symbol of our people (the Fravahar or Fravashi) after Achaemenid representations of it at Persepolis, Naqsh-i Rustam and Behistun. Haha could probably do a whole video on its evolution throughout time... Anyway, thanks for stopping by, I really appreciate it... more to come, stay safe!

@@HistorywithCy If you do, make it good, cheers

Interesting you say that... I'm actually Zoroastrian myself. I'll definitely be doing a lot on that this summer. To answer your question, yes, Zoroastrianism was very active in Armenia before the country officially adopted Christianity and wars were even fought for it (for example, the battle of Avarayr and Sasanian king Yazdegard II). I will definitely get more into all of this hopefully this year. Thanks again for stopping by, really appreciate it...stay safe!

@@HistorywithCy I actually make a point of checking it out when I see it ... Armenia interests me because I've had different friends with that heritage, prompting me to focus in ... Their whole saga is remarkable. The 'City of a Thousand Churches' from 1,000 CE is of interest, the remaining architectural rubble is stunning what's left standing ... The last couple centuries, the genocide, very tough ... Controversial still?

In Armenia we have a small community of Zoroastrians (like 130-170 people). We have a Zoroastrian temple in Garni.

Thanks so much for the kind words, I really appreciate them and glad you like these videos... motivates me to put more of them out. Don't worry, no plans of stopping...stay safe!

Hey, thanks for stopping by and glad you liked the video! Yes it's interesting, in high school we used BC/AD and then in college BCE/CE. I really didn't think much of it and so when I started this channel, I just continued to use BCE. However, there are a lot of people who don't know that the two are essentially the same and I even asked my viewers what they thought. Long story short, I now use BC/AD and all of the videos from the past year or so use BC. Anyway, thanks again for watching and definitely more on the way, stay tuned!

@@HistorywithCy your programs are the best on KZfaq. I learn alot from them. They are watched over and over, so as to not miss anything on them.

@@HistorywithCy How does this tie into what I am finding more of on the Tartarian empire?

Uartu ist chechenia, dont Fake History.

Absolutely! I myself am a Zoroastrian and have been planning something on the topic as I get back more into Persian religion. Stay tuned and thanks for watching, really appreciate it!

@@HistorywithCy for a long time, I’m been very interesting in knowing if the three wise men that came to visit baby Jesus and brought him Myrrh., Frankincense, ( Boswellia Serrata) and Gold were Zoroastrian? I would like to know were they came from and their beliefs or how they got together.Thanks.

The modern Armenian pagan religion is only nominally based on the actual ancient Armenian pagan religion. And the modern pagan religion isn't widely revered...most people view it as something of a joke or just ignore it.

@@bobsmithradates7346 Meh. You are probably right. But it still had a somewhat important role in the independence of Armenia. Since the movement has antecedents in the early 20th century, with the doctrine of Tseghakron of the philosopher and nationalist political theorist Garegin Nzhdeh. I am fully aware that this thing is not realy practiced as a full blown religion. Since only like. A few hundred guys follow this stuff. I know that it's not realy that big of a deal, and the people who follow it do it simply because of national pride and to have a little fun. I see nothing wrong with that. Many slavic countries do the same. It's all for show. But I think it's cool that they do recreations of old festivals and other things like that. It's all in good fun. 🤷 (Let us be honest here... no mather how much a neo pagan tries. They will never get these things right. It's not just about the god you worship, it's about the mentality too. Our modern views of the world will inevitabily come in contrast with the views of the people who practiced paganism in the past. We are too different)

Hi, thanks for the feedback! Yes, the Museum in Van is on my list of museums to visit when I go to Turkey, hopefully sometime in later 2024 or early 2025. Thanks for watching and the suggestion!

was about to ask the same :) thanks

Hi, thanks so much for stopping by, I really appreciate it and love reading your comments, especially this one since you are referencing the Shahnameh of Firdausi, an epic whose stories growing up in a Zoroastrian household I am very familiar with! I will definitely in the near future be doing videos on the Scythians and the Medes, and of course the Achaemenids and other Persian/Iranian dynasties. You points are very interesting, I had not heard about a relationship between the Scythians and Afrisiab of Turan, who I was led to believe was of Turkic origin. Interesting. I'll definitely look at my sources and see what I can find. One day, maybe as I get into medieval Persian history, I'll do something on the life and times of Firdausi and the revival of the Persian language or something like that. That's actually a very interesting topic for me. Thanks again so much for stopping by and the info and suggestions. It's great to hear from you and look forward to putting out more videos on Persian history. Thanks and stay safe...Khoda Hafiz!

@@HistorywithCy It is wonderful that you are so familiar with Shahnameh and Iranian classical literature. But I should add that Shahnameh is an interesting book that never really discovered. First of all Shahnameh is not "The book of kings or The book of Persian Kings" Shanameh in Pahlavi language means " King of books or Collection of all letters" . The language that today called " Persian" in fact is a western accent of Pahlavi language. Pahlava was an Eastern Scythian tribe that migrated from east of central Asia to Sistan ( South west of Afghanistan and south east of Iran. Sistan means: "The land of Siths or Scythian). Pahlava, Suran and Kambuja were already mixed with Asian tribe Huns that were migrating west. After their migration to Sistan, they got mixed with Indus valley local Dravidian. The migration mainly occurred around 200 B.C. At that time Eastern Hellenism started to flourish in Central Asia and in Geography of Afghanistan. Pahlava people were supper Dupper Hellenist. Shahnameh was created by these people under direct influence of Greek tragic theater. Pahlavi language became the common language of entire silk road from Sinkiang china to Syria and from Kashghar to Gujarat. It was the English of the time. They follow " Aiin e Pahlavani' They are called " Pahlavan" "Aiin" means: "code" or "Regulation" or " Certain orders". They worship no god other than "god of Wisdom". They are resisting Aryan racism. Aryans living in northern Afghanistan. They are trying to implement Aryan cast system in entire region including Sistan. According to Shanameh, Pahlavans resisting the pressure and became victorious against Aryan racist demand. While stories of Shahnameh were taking shape, there was no Turkish tribes present in the region or in Central Asia. They appeared in the region after 400 A.D. in second half of Sassanian era. They were in fact Sassanian rival. But according to Shahnameh Rostam's saga ends in Koushanian era. Rostam was killed by his brother in a brutal fashion in the bottom of a well full of javelin and arrows. Sassanian added " Khodaynameh" the Sassanid version of Shahnameh to entire collection of the real Shahnameh. Khodaynameh is nothing other than Sassanian that glorifying themselves against their Turks rival in central Asia. . . .

@@saeedmodanlou1874 interesting stuff!!

Ur of the Chaldees isn't Urartu. It's Haran, which is to the west of Urartu. And Abraham existed before Urartu, during Mitanni. He was probably a Hurrian, which is connected to Urartians, however. Maybe even an Indo-European Hurrian.

@@bobsmithradates7346 Geez, with this video AND if one reads ALL the wonderful comments, One might make themselves a History PhD certificate..LOLOLOLOLOLOL for this region.

From what I know the tradition of thinking Mt. Ararat is a pretty recent development with Evangelical “archeologists” using their confirmation bias to say a weird geographic feature is actually the remains of Noah’s ark. The earliest reference to any biblical event happening on that mountain comes from the 10th century. Most Jews and rabbinical traditions view the creation story and flood along with basically everything up to Moses as Allegory or metaphor. Only Christian fundamentalists really go hard into the “Earth is 6,800” years old. The Bible does say it landed in the region of Ararat but the physical mountain we know of as Ararat. The word in Hebrew is Ararat as that was the name of Urartu but it uses it in a regional sense not a defined mountain. The reason many think it is this mountain besides the Hebrew is it’s the tallest mountain in the region so people conclude it’s where land would’ve been first after the flood. Again no one thought this until around the 1000’s though

@@Rytheking2 this is good context, thank you. read a little about the Urartu people of armenia, that was informative in terms of the history of that geographical region.

@@Rytheking2 It wasn't the mountain of Ugarit. Ararat is an ancient name for Armenia. That's what the Semitic speaking peoples called Armenia (hence, Urartu, which is an Akkadian name). So "the mountains of Ararat" means "the mountains of Armenia."

@@scrummyvision He's wrong. Ararat has nothing to do with Ugarit. Ararat was another name for Armenia as a whole (the Semitic tribes--Akkadians, Assyrians, Hebrews) called the land "Ararat" (or variations, such as "Urartu," "Urartri", "Urastu"). "Armenia" is the Iranian (by way of Elamite) name for the same land as Ararat (we know this because in the Behistun Inscription, the names are used interchangeably depending on the linguistic translation). Today we would say "the mountains of Armenia" instead of "the mountains of Ararat."

@@bobsmithradates7346 Agree

Thank you, stay safe!

Hi IKZfaq. Stumbled upon your comment. Before Urartu, the Natufians were linked to Armenia. The pillars of Göbekli Tepe are cartoon maps and Pillar 21 describes the mountains of Armenia. Enjoy! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bLhia9lhsb6ugI0.html
