Origins of The Armenians 

I imagine Armenian archaeological sites will bring about many paradigm shifts in our lifetime alone. Let us pray these sites don't fall into the wrong hands..

A landlocked country at present between 3 powerful countries and at war with a forth.; Armenia. A stronghold of Christianity for centuries, and a land of cultural heritage for many thousands of years. I believe I heard Tchaikovsky in the background. Thank you for another important video!

I praise the Armenians due to their strong level of preserverance. They had faced such gruesome Genocide still they manage to thrive.

Very Good , as an Iranian born I have great respect and admiration for Armenians .

I come from Piraeus, a city with a large Armenian community that found refuge here from the genocide. They even have their own district in the city which they share with descendants of Greek refugees from Anatolia. They are good, friendly people, never caused a problem, we have members of the municipal council of Armenian origin. They are fully incorporated to the fabric of the Greek society. It's very sad to see such terrible things happening to such good people though. Thank you for that wonderful video that gave me a lot of information about the Armenian history which l dare say never had the chance of investigating deeply. Keep up the good work.

I’m a American with Anatolian Greek heritage I have nothing but respect to Armenians for not leaving even when completely being invaded and massacred

Thanks for sharing your history.I am a South American with a lot of travel experience in Europe and America. I've had some Armenian friends in LA. They shared with me that Armenians were conquered many times through the centuries. I believe that armenians are specially high in emotional intelligence and women are amazingly beautiful. Lovely and friendly culture.

Im Mexican & In the recent Months I’ve been studying and learning about Armenian Culture, it’s a interesting one with a unique language that I’m also attempting to try and learn, thanks for the video I really needed this, Long Live Armenia ❤️🇲🇽🇦🇲❤️

Armenians have fought since day one and are amazing people , I served in the U.S. Army and there were several Armenians in my unit they are great soldiers and humble , caring people. Lord please protect them

I’m so happy you finally made this video! Gotta keep Armenian history alive!

Armenians have always been outnumbered. But they have fierce warriors who have continued to fight and keep their nation alive.

My husband’s Armenian. Thanks for the video. We know so little about them.

Urartu was Armenia dude it was the kingdom of Ararat just because our histories were burned by mongol invasions we have to take Assyrian written record which in the Semitic language Ararat becomes Urartu. They were all Armenian tribes in the eastern Anatolian region not Greek not Phrygian but Armenian.

GREAT episode! While I have no Armenian ancestry, I've been fascinated by the Armenians since my teens. What a proud and ancient people! May their fire never be quenched. People bitch on and on and on about Western/Christian imperialism, while Ottoman Turkish imperialism and atrocities are given a total pass (in relative terms).

Thank you for the movie.I am armenian ,born in Bulgaria,descendant of armenian refugee from Turkie.My grandparents from both side, are he only survived from the Genocide .

Fascinating ! My grandmother was Armenian. Handsome people ❤

I Love Armenian Peoples .I,m From Iran Azerbaijan❤

Ararat Arartu Urartu or Kingdom of Ararat is mentioned in the old testament .... i am proud Armenian .

just a correction: Hayk is pronounced with a clear a, like in arm. Same with Hayastan (both a-s) and Hayq. Also, the explanation for the last part is very easy: Russia has put itself firmly on the side of Azerbaijan/Turkey. So... Armenia is threeading very carefully so as to not get completely wiped out.

Hvala na dobrom videu ,pozdrav Armeniji iz Hrvatske🇭🇷🕊🇦🇲

80% of Armenia is occupied, unfortunately. Thank you for your work, it was very interesting. I am an Armenian born in Argentina God bless us all and peace to the world🙏

In 1979, while on a visit to 'The Soviet Union' I had the opportunity to visit Armenia. I found Yerevan a beautiful city; how the citizens escaped the heat of the day by milling around the fountain in the centre of the City come nightfall - the scene was quite surreal among the ancient buildings. I entered Yerevan by bus - a seven hour drive from Tbilisi - I fell asleep and awoke midway; it was like driving through the Bible-Lands - there is something spiritual about Armenia. While driving through France in 2010 I came across the City of Valence: it was there I was privy to the plight of portions of the Armenian refugees who were made to flee Armenia in 1915.

I am a Zaza from Türkey. Somehow Ihave great feelings & respect for Armenians

Poor folk of Armenia. Neighbors from every direction stomped over it for centuries. Yet it survives. It has some very beautifull country and good humble Folk. The cruelty it has suffered is testimony to the brutality of the human race . Its folk has suffered more than one can imagine. The suffering makes me want to scream. May the blessed virgin, Queen of Heaven, extend her protective cloak of kindness over these sad people.

Visited Armenia two times and it is THE greatest country I've ever visited.

As an Armenian/Greek from San Diego CA this was Awsome!! Thank you for this video.❤ When I did my DNA Armenian and Greek came up which I expected but what was so interesting was that Roman came up not Italian but Roman.

Armenia hold your ground!! We cheer for you and hope You’ll persevere current problems. You are the First Nation who accepted Christianity and showed all others the way. Be strong! God bless Armenia!

As a Serb, I have much respect for the Armenian peoples. I even saw people name them the Serbs of Asia, which is true considering our history (at least in the past 1000 years) is similar.

Awesome topic. Archaeologist approved 👍 Armenia is definitely one of those ethnic groups I've always wondered about as far as late prehistory and early history. They're just so unique.

Thank you for an excellent program on my people and beautiful Armenia 🇦🇲 ❤️💙🧡

I had a good friend here in the United States years ago who was Armenian. They seem to be beautiful, dignified people. I hope they can find peace and prosperity in the 21st Century. Great documentary!

I really loved this video. As someone who loves the ancient history, cultures, peoples and kingdoms always wanted to know the ancient origins of the Armenians. I really love ancient Armenia. Thank you very much/muchas gracias. 🇨🇱🇦🇲

Very interesting , I am Armenian and thank you for Sharing with the world 🙏👍👏👏👏

A very fluid history of a great people and country. Thank you.

Oh my... Turks and Azeris will flood the comments with their "deep knowledge of history".

What a heartbreaking story for these people.

Thank you for the video ❤❤❤

I commend you for this video. Great job! It is very hard to summarise a history of four thousand years or more into a narration of less than an hour and maintain a logical and comprehensible sequence. There are many interesting episodes in the history of Armenia that deserve videos of their own and not only the history of Armenia as such but the history of Armenians around the globe. It is a nation that has contributed a lot to world civilisation and individual countries. They traded from Isfahan, Mumbai, Madras, Calcutta etc through what is mow Sharjah (UAE) to Venice and up to Amsterdam. They played an imporatnt role in linking east and west and spreading innovations to many countries, e.g. printing, photography etc You can still find their footprint in India, Iran, many countries in Indochina, in the Crimea, in Lvov, Venice etc etc. Even if their communities were comparatively very small in some countries their impact on management, trade, banking, science and music and arts was impressive, like in Egypt and Ethiopia... I hope you will find the time to dig into specific topics and episodes of the history of Armenians and dedicate videos to them... In any case, thanks a lot, your current video is in itself a feat!

Thanks for this great video. As an Armenian, I feel that Armenian history and culture is underrepresented or unknown amongst the countries of the West, even though we share so much culture.

Karabakh is Armenian territory Armenian is 1000, Years before Uzbek,Tajik,,Azers, Turkmenis,Kazakhs.. King Tikran was an Armenian Hero

Another incredibly detailed episode. Utterly interesting thank you Kevin 🇿🇦✌️😎🌹

Never thought I'll be so interested in the Armenians, or Hayasan. Many thanks!

Armenians are good people. Much respect. I’m Mexican, and I have met many of em. They are dignified people, in my book.

Admiration from Georgia 🎉❤

Hi❤ I'm an Armenian girl🇦🇲 ❤ If you support armenia then pls like this commemt ❤❤❤

Wow this was amazing!Thanks!

I met a lovely, friendly Armenian lady named Laura Gorgorian in Phoenix who worked at as a seamstress at a department store where I bought several dresses that needed alterations in the early 1980s. She told me about her parents and she and her siblings fleeing persecution in Armenia for New York City when she was young, and then moved on to Arizona. She invited me to her cozy home to meet her sister and served me a delicious dessert and told me about their beliefs at the Armenian Church in Scottsdale and stories about her homeland. She died some years ago and every time I drive near her home, I miss her! RIP sweet Laura.

You distinctly missed the episode in history where Lenin sent money and weapons to Ataturk to fight the Armenians in 1920 before the Bolsheviks had arrived to the region.

Amazing video. I love the Armenians

Spectacular Sir and so very painful, I wept. The depth of detail was crushing and beautiful. Thank you very much I always learn from you Kevin. Peace be with you and yours, Geraldine

Armenia 🇦🇲 Has to Focus on it's economy and All Armenian communities around the world should unite to from Strong Armenia in terms of Economy ,Military and Geopolitics . I Know Armenia faced many problems in the past I hope in future Armenia will progress and become one of the strong nation in the Caucasian region 💪 🇮🇳 🇦🇲 🤝🤝🤝🤝

This talks about another holocaust few know about.

Excellent. I would have mentioned the seizable impact Phrygians had on Armenians due to good relations and trade. Also, was Urartu a northern neighbor of Armenians who took the power ropes? Most likely they were a more ancient people speaking Hurrian language as were the Mitani to the south. That leaves the first Indo-Europeans arriving through Anatolia to cohabitate with the Kura-Araxes folks (local nobility) for millennia during which time the people were most likely bilinguals. Only after the Assyrian invasions and the Medes did Hurrian language disappear leaving Armenian as the sole language.

Man they’ve been through it all.Their History is outstanding though.

God bless Armenia.🙏🙏

What a fascinating video! Thank you!

Armenia was there for thousands of years. If you study history of that area you will see that even 900 years ago there was no Turkey nor Azerbaijan, which was Armenian lands with millions of Armenians.

Thank you for this professional well done job, my friend. Love from an Armenian

Fascinating episode! I loved the views of the clothing, armor, and architecture of ancient Armenia.

This was informative and thought-provoking. I learned quite a lot. Thank you.

God bless the Armenian people 🇦🇲✝️

Армения 🇦🇲 прекрасна 🇺🇦🤍🇦🇲

Thank you for the great presentation. I’m glad that came across your channel, so many videos to watch and learn about our history. I am sure I will love other videos as well. Big respect for thorough research!

43 minutes of history, not even a minute in, and there’s already a flag. This is the quality content that makes this channel great.

You are correct the Byzantine empire had a number of Armenian emperors. The information in the video is substantial good job. Loved the video will like and subscribe and the other stuff you said. Good job man.

As an Iranian-Azeri, I am against what the Turkic speakers are doing to these honorable people, because Armenians have been, are, and will be a part of the Iranian people. 💚

I found this very informative.

Amazing work. Thank you

Rich of information and well illustrated. Super good editing.💎

Bloody genocide,so many armenians find save place in Bulgaria,thanks God.I have armenian frends since baby,my gandfhaser and mother,have armenian family frends and make party almost every weekend hihi.Healt,happynes and peace

Thank you for this video , as an Armenian I hope there finally will be peace one day for Armenia and our people will have an opportunity to live and create in peace making the world a better place 🇦🇲✝️

Huge fan! Very great video thank you for your hard work. I really appreciate it.

The amount of people in Turkey with Armenian ancestry is in the millions considering Turkey's population!

Another really good video thanks I appreciate it

Great video.

Great video you made, brother! Loved it

The Turkish government watching this video: 🤬

great video! I didn't know we came from the north! one note though, հայ (hay), is pronounced /haɪ/, like in hike

I like to just say what a incredible episode, all are exactly what is Armenian culture, can't any better to explain,🙏🙏 Love you all Armenians.

Thank you for the excellent coverage of Armenia's rich history. Yes, Armenia is once again on the verge of yet another war. Azerbaijan, Turkey, Israel, and of course Pakistan do not leave us alone.

A new Fortress of Lugh video! We shall stop all else and watch it!

11:03 Astvatc( God) in Armenian means as -word , tvatc-given . So giver of word/speech . And it is pronounced Hai =high not hay . Haik =high k not hayk.

I always look forward to a video from you. This was really outstanding!

Armenians are great bussiness people, and amazing friends: They will never let you down.

Christians all over the world must consider it their duty to preserve and defend Armenia.

Great video, thank you. The way I have always heard the name Hayk is pronounced "Hyek" like Hi and Armenians call themselves Hye "Hi"

Watching now! I love these videos. A video of the Brittany region of France would be very interesting especially with such a rich history. I read once that a group of nomadic Alan horse warriors settled into this area mixing with the local population there becoming very influential in developing the famous Breton Calvary who adopted Alan tactics. These Bretons were also influential in the Norman invasion of England with many of the Normans actually being Bretons as well as younger sons of Nobility from further afield from the European mainland.

What a beautiful, proud and strong people. Deus benedicat tibi ✝️🛐🛐🛐

Wowzers!!! This is illuminating. It makes everything in history/myths make so much more sense! Thank you so much. You light bringer!

Great video, thank you!

never ended, Armenian dislocation still ongoing today, for geopolitical reason/water/ west is involved deeply…

Ar - Menja (Gold - Mind)

I didn't know thr first thing about Armenian when I started. Now...PhD

As a Jew i love Armenian people! ❤

We Iranians love our Armenian siblings and will overcome our enemies as we always have

Thank you so much,, I guess would be better if i see this in Turks TV ,, because Azerbaijan is saying that Armenians came in 18 century to Armenia 😂😂😂😂

great job. Name Hay is from king Hayik, but name Armenia, which used by neighbors is from king Aram (According Khorenatsi.)

Fascinating account of our ancient brethren. You are our venerable Seannachie.

Thanks from Armenia!

I met some of the Armenian side of my husband's family. They are some of the most sincere, intelligent, nicest people that I have ever met. Very inquisitive and welcoming.
