Armenia on Historical Maps – Video Compilation

It was difficult to find quality maps of ancient and medieval Armenia online several years ago, but nowadays, one could easily examine the huge variety of the available detailed maps of Armenia. We have also featured a good number of maps on our website, but today, we have something a little bit different.

We would like to offer to your attention a nice two-part video compilation of historical maps of Armenia. In the future, we are planning to add even more material. Now, please enjoy these rather expansive map collections.
