The larger the stone, the older the structure

Ancient stone walls and temple ruins were found in the Bergri (Բերկրի) region of Van province in occupied Armenia.

You can see the size of the stones compared to the people standing next to them which indicates that a giant race of men built the temples thousands of years ago.

Archaeologists have a famous saying, they say “The larger the stone, the older the structure”.

There is also the ancient Surb Stepanos Church located nearby as well.
