If You Have Never Wanted to Visit Armenia, You Will After You Watch This

Did you know that the name Armenia is derived from Aram, who in the Old Testament of the Bible is the son of Shem, himself the son on Noah? Yes, that Noah. 

You won’t be surprised to discover, then, that the country itself is literally dripping with history.  Some of the old churches – in various states – are simply awesome to ponder in terms of their sheer solidity. These places of worship were meant to last and must have been staggering features of engineering and architecture at the time they were built as they still have the ability to stagger even now. 

In this wonderful video, there are glimpses of the people and the capital city of Yerevan.  The country looks unspoiled by tourism – and perhaps that is the way that the Armenians would prefer it to stay.  I think this might go on my bucket list and an unobtrusive visit worked out!  In Armenia is a film by Silvio Sbrana.
