Армения между тремя морями

Немецкий гравер Кристофер Вайгель на своей карте изобразил территорию Армении как землю между Черным и Каспийским морями. В это время Армения культурно процветала от появления нового поколения художников, поэтов-песенников, лириков во главе с легендарным армянским поэтом и музыкантом Саят-Нова («Мастер песен»). В своей книге: «Армении: выживание нации» (издательский дом Routledge, в пересмотренном втором издании, 1990) британский историк и автор Кристофер Уолкер пишет: «Почти без исключения армяне — христиане, хотя часто это скорее социальное, а не религиозное. Их преданность своей древней Церкви как главному воплощению их традиций и как единственному учреждению, которое оставалось живым, когда их страна окутала темная мощь чуждых империй, чрезвычайно сильна» Карта Кавказа К. Вайгель 1720

The French scholar-Pierre Daniel Huets map Terrestrial Paradise- London

The French scholar, Pierre Daniel Huet’s map Terrestrial Paradise, London, 1694. A detail showing Armenia Major/Greater Armenia and Mount Ararat with Noah’s Ark. The Biblical Garden of Eden, on the other hand, additionally classified as Paradise, is also situated within the same geography. The Bible mentions a primary water source intrinsic to the Garden of Eden that parts into four rivers – a testament of decisive importance. Euphrates – emanating from the Plateau of Armenia – is mentioned; the remainder cannot be specifically identified. That Plateau – The Bible’s Sacred Highland – is classified in the Bible as the Land of Ararat. It is the primary source for two major rivers flowing southwards – inclusive of the Tigris – as well as a set of lush rivers flowing eastwards and two flowing westwards. Thus, the Plateau of Armenia amply complies with the four rivers’ precept. Undoubtedly, physical geography requires physical facts. Accordingly, realities demonstrate that the Land of Ararat as a geographically converged superior font – past and present – is the overall noted primary water source that gives rise to the four rivers’ precept. Indeed, the headwaters of major rivers – especially the Euphrates with its major tributaries — emanating from its imposing heights are impressive. In this part of the World there is no equivalent. Some have placed the geographic font in question further south where, however, the requisite constituents – topographic and orographic – are essentially nonexistent.

THE SILK ROAD IN ANCIENT AND EARLY MEDIEVAL TIMES

The map of Asia shows the mountain ranges, plateaus and plains of the continent

This map is classified as the Orographic Scheme of the Armenian Upland. It is from the textbook titled Soviet Armenia, Moscow, 1971, printed by the Soviet government’s publishing house, Progress Publishers. The small darker shaded area represents Soviet Armenia. The publication classifies the Plateau of Armenia as a “mountainous island” with an area exceeding 300,000 sq. km and maintaining a mean elevation of 1,700m. The zenith of the Plateau is Biblical Mount Ararat placed at 5156m. Important rivers such as the Euphrates, Araxes and the Kura emanate from the Plateau. It possesses two large lakes, Van and Sevan. Climatic conditions dictate the regional population density. The highlands and the Alpine zone dominate the topography, but they are sparsely populated. The vast majority of the population inhabits the valleys and the lowlands – the latter are often situated at the edges of the Plateau – but only form a small proportion of the Plateau’s landmass. H.F.B. Lynche’s book, Armenia: Travels and Studies, published in two volumes in London, 1901, possesses a large pocket map, relevant to physical geography. Although the map ‘Armenia and Adjacent Countries’ takes into account Armenia in its entirety, the volumes only refer to the regions of the country he travelled and studied. Thus, certain key regions are omitted. The provinces travelled, however, are recorded proficiently. Accordingly, the Royal Geographical Society’s comments are most relevant. Details are available in the Geographical Journal, London, vol. XVIII, July-Dec., 1901.
On the other hand, Felix Oswald’s work A Treatise on the Geology of Armenia, published in London, 1906, received excellent appraisals despite the fact that only one of its two volumes covering Western Armenia was published. Further details are available in the Geological Magazine, London, 1906, and the Geographical Journal, London, vol. XXX, July-Dec., 1907.
