P. S

Heruni talked a lot about the origin of the Armenians, the knowledge they gave to the world, our writing, and about always establishing several civilizations in different parts of the planet. And finally, he always insisted that everything started here, in the Armenian highlands. Those Armenoids gave everything to the world. Those same Armenoids are our ancestors.
