Ararat, Armenia Video

Before it became the name of the greatest, most sacred mountain in Asia Minor, Ararat was the Biblical name of Armenia herself. This unofficial video is a portrait of Arto and Ararat as one. It's a tribute to him and his song, and to an ancient people still rooted in their native land. Shot by Zareh, edited by Alina.

Away to the North in their Armenian homeland, they entrenched themselves and build up the kingdom of Urartu." M. Chahin, "The Kingdom of Armenia," London, 2001 "The new kingdom of Urartu, which proved to be the stronghold of the Hurrian race." Greater Armenia lies in the highlands surrounding Mount Ararat, the highest peak of the region. In the Bronze Age, several states flourished in the area of Greater Armenia, including the Hittite Empire (at the height of its power), Mitanni (South-Western historical Armenia), and Hayasa-Azzi (1600-1200 BC). Soon after the Hayasa-Azzi were the Nairi (1400-1000 BC) and the Kingdom of Urartu (1000-600 BC), who successively established their sovereignty over the Armenian Highland. Each of the aforementioned nations and tribes participated in the ethnogenesis of the Armenian people. I. Geography.
