I was reading about Saint Vartan Mamikonian and it mentioned that the Mamikonian family were actually descendants of Chinese emperors of the Han Dynasty.
Is that true?
Vartan Mamikonian's family was Chinese? I am shocked and confused.
Eventhough this thread is old I am just as amazaed & shocked as imhye... I doubt that Vartan Mamikonian was Chinese.
Here are two interesting posts I found in old newsgroup archives back in 2001.
To me, this subject is VERY INTERESTING. I wonder why this has never been researched by historians. I think I may look up Chinese history sites when I get the chance to see any mention of this.
as im a chinese, and look over 5000 years textbook....
it is possible that Mamigonian is a chinese, but not the chinese all of you usually thought of, he is a mixed blood of han(most common seen chinese today) and ethnic group located in southern part of china. which they have good relation with western countries. its possible that his offspring went to Persia for protection after their empire Shu fell apart, family been killed and the china's emperor still searching for relatives of any previous dynasty. But in reality, theres no evidence to prove his offspring is Mamigonian at all. it just a guess.
also theres a lot of chinese traders on Silk Road over Armenia and Persia, there must be one of them have the same last name, its even higher chance to have a trader than a general
