Armenian Stone Henge Story - CNN

Re: Armenian Stone Henge Story - CNN

Mukuch is taking an a-la-Turka approach to geography.

I'm not talking about the modern country of Syria that has been in existence for less than a century - why would we use modern borders to understand a 12000 year old site? I am talking about the geographical region that is called Syria. Urfa is in Northern Syria.

So 12000 years ago, you're sure that the region was called Syria. If you take a look at the holes that were drilled in stone at the Stone Henge site in (modern day Armenia) there are similar rocks with holes drilled into them at the Hattusa site near Ankara (the fake capital of Turkey since Istanbul is really the capital)

Take a look at the drilled holes from 2:30-3:00

Some more video of Hattusha: the Hittite Capital

By your ideology shouldn't you be saying "don't forget the ones in Historical Britain"? Canada was once part of the British Empire, Ireland was once part of Britain. If you are strictly following your own ideology, it isn't important that Newgrange was built by people long before anyone who could reasonably be called "British" (or Irish) existed.

It still is part of the British Empire, the people are just in denial. Assuming you weren't born via immaculate conception, your ancestors came from somewhere. They might have not been referred to as British or Irish but they were people who eventually formed to create Britain or Ireland.

Do you think geographical regions move about on a human timescale?

So why are you calling it Syria? Were you around 12000 years ago (or perhaps you consider yourself some sort of feline god)? Anyways, like you said, it hasn't been carbon dated (which is hardly accurate anyways in terms of a humans lifetime) but it does give a general time as to when these ruins were built.

I'm not going to discuss anything more with you about this subject. You seem to have the educational level of a small child. Either that or fanaticism has so warped your understanding that you can no longer comprehend things correctly. If its the latter, then I see your type so often in Turkey. They are the type that start to foam at the mouth when they see a map of the Roman empire with "Armenia" marked on what their fanaticism sees only as Turkey.

The world is divided into distinct geographical units that have shaped the histories and cultures of the humans inhabiting those regions. Historians and archaeologists have given names to those regions: it could be the Iberian peninsula, the British Isles, Scandinavia, Syria, Mesopotamia, Armenian plateau, etc. These regions existed 12,000 years ago, they existed before humans settled there.

Very good Bell. So point out a map which identifies the regions of the world in which "historians and archeologists" believe are carved in stone.

As for Urfa (Ourfa, Urhai) whatever you want to call it, the town was populated by people of several ethnicity's prior to the Armenian Genocide.

You are making me think you actually ARE a cretin. Of course they are "carved in stone" - it is the very rock of a region, and how the earth's climate has reacted with it over time, that MAKES geographical regions geographical regions!

The stones stand as soldiers on guard.

Armenia is the birthplace of the zodiac, and perhaps the beginning of navigation and the concept of time.....either that or the Aliens made it.

I apologize for making you think, I know it's not something you do often.
