The Connection Between Portasar and Karahunj

The sixth series of “The Voice of Ararat” program produced by “Free Voice Media” is dedicated to the ancient structure of Portasar.

Located about 100 km from the ancient city of Urfa, Portasar is the oldest known complex on the Armenian Highlands. This complex is aged 10-12,000 years, and it may be even older.

With guest mathematician Vachagan Vahradyan, the program also discusses the relationship between Portasar and Karahunj.
