Armenian Highland...

1. Does anyone know if it will ever be finished? (it's been a really long time)
2. Does anyone know how accurate it is and it's sources? It's calling Armenia the cradle of civilization and that's a pretty big claim, and I'd like to know what source they have to back it up

Re: Armenian Highland...

Saw your thread on AH, have you actually taken the time to read the site? Or are you just so amazed that Armenia's history is actually older than what the bs "academics" in the "west" would like people to believe, i.e. Armenians are colonists to the region ---> biggest horsesh*t ever!

Well sources mean everything, because with out them everything is hearsay, especially in world where you could always find some information to contradict another set of information. That's why sources and citations matter.

It also can be misleading b/c people have different meanings for "cradle of civilization." If AH uses that phrase in terms of region where life began, it's wrong, the first humans(as far as we know yet) walked the earth in Africa. If AH means civilization=as in advanced societies, with building complexes, temples, homes, etc. it's partially right (so far), although that can be applied to more of the middle east than just the region of Armenia. And also if by civilization they just mean a group or tribe of people with a common culture, language, etc, than it's extremely wrong.

That's why it's a major claim and needs to clarify what it means by civilizations, and list sources.

Also i still would like to know when it would be done b/c it has been a really long time
