At Metsamor (ca 5000 BC), one of the oldest observatories in the world can be found. It sits on the southern edge of the excavated city, a promontory of red volcanic rocks that juts out like the mast of a great ship into the heavens. Between 2800 and 2500 BCE at least three observatory platforms were carved from the rocks. The Metsamor observatory is an open book of ancient astronomy and sacred geometry.
According to the historians they were built in Metsamor because they needed to navigate themselves since Metsamorians were into the trade bussines.
The stones at Karahundj predate England's Stonehenge, they predate the Babylonian's claim to being the first astronomers, and they confirm what some people already suspect: that Armenia is the birthplace of the zodiac, and perhaps the beginning of navigation and the concept of time.
Hundreds of small circular bowls were carved on the rock surfaces,another carving on the platforms shows four stars inside a trapezium.The Metsamorians also left behind a calendar divided into twelve months.

They should do something about it and protect those stones , not just leave them out in the nature.
Astronomers from Europe and the US are showing increasing interest in the complex, and several expeditions have already taken place, confirming much of what these two conjecture.
