"All truth passes through three stages:
First, it is ridiculed;
Second, it is violently opposed; and
Third, it is accepted as self-evident."
Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860) -
Nice. I recently bought the Hewsen book with all the historical maps.Originally posted by GavurGeneral Antranik (1865-1927): “I am not a nationalist. I recognize only one nation, the nation of the oppressed.” -
This one has 127 pics from real historical maps, that is, all the maps were drawn in the past, and not new maps depicting historical regions like in Hewsen.Originally posted by Joseph
Of course, I haven't seen the Hewsen book itself, but the sample maps I've seen were newly drawn.
The Rouben Galichian's (Iranian Armenian, BTW
) book is very important, because it deals with all periods of cartography and to quote him:
"In the Ottoman maps and books the name of Armenia appears in the area of Van and Erzerum up to the middle of the nineteenth century. On the maps prepared after this date the name gradually shrinks and eventually disappears altogether, replaced by “Eastern Anatolia”, literally meaning “east of east”."
Four things denialist Turks do when they are confronted with facts:
I. They change the subject [SIZE="1"](e.g. they copy/paste tons of garbage to divert attention).[/SIZE]
II. They project [SIZE="1"](e.g. they replace "Turk" with "Armenian" and vice versa and they regurgitate Armenian history).[/SIZE]
III. They offend [SIZE="1"](e.g. they cuss, threaten and/or mock).[/SIZE]
IV. They shut up and say nothing.

Most of the maps from the book are on display as prints in the first-floor gallery of the State Museum of Armenian History in Yerevan. (They were last year, anyway )
