In the first lecture from a short series on the history of Armenia and the Armenian Highlands, Dr. Christina Maranci brings us back to the origins of the region and quickly introduces us to the beginning of the Bronze Age in the context of archeology.
The film provides a brief overview of the geography of Armenia itself and lays the groundwork for the next lectures.
At the beginning of the episode, she discusses why Armenian history and research matter and why we should take the time to immerse ourselves in them and experience the country’s great history along with its events, tragedies, and triumphs.
