Stones have played an important and unseparate part of Armenian culture both in ancient and modern times. We have expressed our emotions and feelings through carvings on stones, making them councelors of our souls. We have carved our religious and national symbols on them. For example, cross stones and big letter-stones .
That’s what I would like to talk about and to speak my mind about. There is a site in a valley in Armenia where you can find all letters of alphabet in huge stones and all statues to those people who have any reference to the creation of Armenian Alphabet.
The is really a fantastic and amazing site in the sun, in the open air, where many first graders come to visit and make a loathe to ‘’get devoted to knowledge’’ after they have learned the alphabet.
These are the photos that I have taken just yesterday, I am not a professional photographer neither an amateur, I hope you will enjoy the scenes and the work our stone-masters (varbet) has done ....
