Summary

If you want to discover the captivating history of Armenia, then pay attention...

The tale of Armenia has its beginnings as a glorious ancient kingdom, one that commanded the respect of nations as mighty as Egypt and Babylonia. As its history takes a turn for the darker, each section reads like a roll call of the most famous of figures: Antony and Cleopatra, Alexander the Great, Genghis Khan, Frederick Barbarossa. Armenia saw ancient Rome rise to power; it knew Egyptian pharaohs, the Golden Horde, the Soviet Union, and saw the first invasion of the first Muslim army. For a long and ugly part of its history, Armenia struggled under the yokes of one empire after another: The Roman, Parthian, Persian, Byzantine, Timurid, Mongolian, and Ottoman Empires, to name just a few.

Yet through it all, Armenia, time and time again, emerged as a nation with a powerful identity, one that caused much grief over the years, but one that still remains a pillar of strength to its people in good times and in bad.

In History of Armenia: A Captivating Guide to Armenian History, Starting from Ancient Armenia to Its Declaration of Sovereignty from the Soviet Union, you will discover topics such as:

  • The Home of Eden

Loved the insight and the intimacy

In this audible, each chapter presents interest to further research into the countries self-development. Throughout time Armenia has been caught in the middle with The Romans, The Mongols, European Christianity, and The Ottoman Empire. That has shaped it into the country that it is today.

A Country Wounded but not Broken

This audible offers its readers a general account of Armenia’s vibrant history. They were included in battles with Assyria and Egypt, survived a genocide of over 1.5 million people and with the strength of their faith and community, they reconstructed their land into the remarkable landmark that it is now.

A good introduction to the topic

It does an excellent job of describing "what" happened, which is helpful if you're largely ignorant. Little higher-level thought through - examining "why" and the like.

Good history volume.

There are short chapters, invite further research into historical events or culture or architecture or politics or performers, etc, etc, which have developed from Armenia since the times of the old Greeks and the Persians.
