Urartu – This is Ararat, Urartians – This is the Armenians, Urartian Language – This is the Armenian

Over the past 150 years, historiography has invented two lines of falsification and establish them in the foundations of Armenology.

First line – Introducing a wide audience to non-Armenian Urartu

Second line – Inclusion of the Armenian language into the Indo-European language group.

The first line seeks to “substantiate” that the Armenians are not natives of the Armenian Highlands, that before the arrival of the Armenians, non-Indo-European “Urartians”, “Hurrians”, “Subarians” and other various tribes lived here.

The second line seeks to “substantiate” the fact that the Armenians emigrated from the European homeland of the Indo-Europeans and settled in the Armenian Highlands after the fall of Urartu.

These two false lines deprive the Armenian people of the right to be considered the authors of their culture, created in the Armenian Highlands from the early Iron Age to the Upper Paleolithic.

My work is aimed at revealing the falsity and inconsistency of these views, substantiating the views of the indigenous people of Armenia on the basis of archaeological and ancient written sources.

Among such works is the unpublished monograph “Ararat Country of Kings and Gods”, an excerpt from which I posted on my page at academia.edu. It is dedicated to the IV ÷ I millennium BC. Correction and verification of Haik names ((URARTU, ARATTA, ŠUBUR, ARMANNU, URI) given in cuneiform sources.

It will be very difficult for an untrained reader to understand the principle of cuneiform interpretations. However, I am confident that a patient and consistent researcher will overcome this difficulty, will be able to understand the general meaning of the work, the main conclusions and collect the necessary information.

  • The Khaldini (Chaldean in Scripture, i.e. Abraham) were there before the Aryan Hays. The Khaldini were, until Semitics took over academics, were considered by Aryanists as neither Aryan or Semitic. The premise is backed by the myth (although a myth still true) of Hayk.

    Khaldini/Hayas (is there a difference these days other than some slight genetic differences?) are a pecuilar people. As are the Kelts and we share a lot of similarities in traditional culture with the Armenians. Temperment, intellect, music, many things, are almost mirrors of each other. Especially the Irish-Armenian connection. Coming around both are pecuilar: just as Scripture says of the Sons of Jacob.

    What we call Europeans are not from Europe. They are from the Middle East, Caucasus, Steppes. It is apparent to me Indo-European is a false term and it should be Arya-European.

    This falsification of everything is not only of the proper Arya-European history but is in every field of "science" and "academics".

    Keep up the good work, Sir.

  • I'm coming around to your point of view. Considering some of the recent archaeological finds it now looks like the Mesopotamian story was either a misguided exegesis or an outright deception.
