  • Digital Applications of Ancient Armenian Stone Carving for Rural Housing in Shikahogh
    LUYS FOUNDATION. EDUCATION KNOWLEDGE BANK Lilit Mnatsakanyan UCL (University College London) Masters of Architectural Design Digital applications of ancient Armenian stone carving for rural housing in Shikahogh. Background and rationale The proposed research will attempt to create a digital-analogue hybridized design solution for a rural development, therefore it entails a research by design or an action research with the intention of innovation. The aim of the thesis is to investigate into the possibilities of bringing together the long established stone masonry tradition in Armenia, the Shikahogh village in Syunik province in Armenia and the modern digital applications. Hence the challenge is to utilize the ancient carving techniques on the platform of the digital applications whilst addressing the real needs of the villagers. These three areas have various degrees of available research materials: The information about the ancient stone carving methods is extremely limited, few written manuscripts and instruction manuals have survived from around 5th Century BC. However the modern interpretations of the techniques are used in the country currently, as well as the physical manifestations of these methods in forms of the manmade caves and Khachkars (traditional carved stones) which will provide basis for the studies. The development site Shikahogh is vastly under-researched, the information is scarce, especially around the various recent activities of controversial nature (the mining site, the new built road and the one in the pipeline, etc.). Therefore the source of information at this stage has been drawn upon a number of Armenian press releases, governmental and national statistics websites. The major part of the site specific issues will be clarified during the fieldwork.

  • The Rock Art of the Mt. Aragats System
    PAPERS Valcamonica Symposium 2007 The rock art of the Mt. Aragats system by Anna Khechoyan* ABSTRACT The majority of known rock art in Armenia consists of engravings, which are widely distributed along the slopes of volcanic mountain systems. Main concentrations of engravings can be found on the peaks and the slopes of the Ara- gats, Gegham, Vardenis, Djermouk and the Syunik mountains. In this paper we are introducing the results of the studies of rock art at Aragats volcano complex. Until 2002 there was no exact documentation of rock art, especially concerning rock paintings in Armenia. Recent scientific studies and surveys were carried out by the Armenian-French joint archeological mission, together with the Institute of Archaeology of the Armenian National Academy of Sciences and Maison d’ Orient (France), as well as the Armenian branch of the Gfoeller Foundation of USA (project directors Boris Gasparian and Christine Chataigner). As a result a series of open-air rock engravings were discovered at Voskehat, Aghavnatun, Lernamerdz, Amberd, Vardenut etc. on the Western and Southern slopes of Mount Aragats, as well as a shelter with new rock paintings in the canyon of the Kasakh River. RIASSUNTO La maggior parte dell’arte rupestre armena è costituita d’incisioni situate lungo i pendii delle catene montuose vulcaniche. Il mag- gior numero d’incisioni si trova sulle sommità e sui pendii dell’ Aragats, del Gegham, del Vardenis, del Djermouk e del Syunik. Nell’articolo abbiamo inserito i risultati tratti dallo studio dell’arte rupestre del complesso vulcanico dell’Aragat. Sino al 2002 non vi era un’esatta documentazione, specialmente relativa alle pitture rupestri armene.

    THE IMPACT OF ANCIENT ARMENIAN TRADITIONS AND WORLDVIEW ON THE COGNITIVE CORE OF NORDIC CULTURE Professor Vahanyan G.A., PhD in Art History Vahanyan V.G., PhD student at the Chair of Linguistics and Intercultural Communications Baghdasaryan V.F. Contents Introduction Methodology The Armenian Origins of Norse Toponyms and the Yngling Dynasty Linguistic Affinity The Armenian Patriarchs and Sages – the Heroes in Norse Myths and the Forefathers of Konungs The Armenian Rock Art and the Nordic Runes The Armenian Rock Art, Vishapakars and Nordic Dragon- and Cross-Stones The Armenian Rock Art and the Signs of Cultures of Old Europe (Starcevo and Vinca) The Tree of Life and the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil Ships, Seagoing Vessels and Boats, Skíðblaðnir Transgression of the Caspian Sea Mountains and Kurgans/Tumuli Mythological Motifs, Agriculture and Hunting Scenes, Animal Species (Horses, Snakes/Serpents, Fish), Weapons, Astronomical Symbols and Observatories Conclusion References Key words: worldview, cognitive core of civilization, rock art, Armenian and Norse mythological and historical heroes, the Aesir and the Vanir, Runes, dragon stones, cross-stones, konungs, the Ynglings, cultural and linguistic picture of the world. Introduction The historians refer to the records on the origin or genesis of the world civilizations, analyzing individually the given archaeological data, the processes and language of the indigenous population. More frequently, the data is incomplete and wide open to criticism. Human thought formation is based not only on the categories and units of a particular language, but rather on the universal content structures of logical and figurative thinking in their constant interaction and reciprocal influence.

  • The Armenian Rock Art: the Origin of Natural Philosophy and Metaphysics
    THE ARMENIAN ROCK ART: THE ORIGIN OF NATURAL PHILOSOPHY AND METAPHYSICS Gregori Vahanyan1, Vahan Vahanyan2 Abstract Philosophical, rationalist ideas, social science and culture, the doctrine of four classical elements and four bodily fluids are still interlinked to Ancient Greece. A Classical Element in Ancient and Medieval Natural Philosophy typically refers to one of the four fundamental concepts of the world: earth, water, air and fire. The authors reveal part of this cognition, expressed in visual form (pet- roglyphs and rock art), in a number of clusters of Armenian Rock Art (10th -5th millennium BC) remarkable for their form and content, as well as implemented in the motif of birth of the first human in the ancient Armenian song “Birth of Vahagn”. Reconstruction of ideas on Natural Philosophy, Meta- physics, Mythology and Religion in the context of the genesis of knowledge shows, that the visualization of the four elements, fundamental principles of the world, including the archetypes of the major common Indo-European motifs, were first recorded, “documented”, in the Araratian Mountains c. 10th - 5th millennium BC. Keywords Principles of Natural Philosophy and Metaphysics, Four Forces, Birth of the First Man, Rock Art, Temple of Knowledge 1. Introduction The History of Ancient civilization is usually associated with Classical Greek philosophical ideas, the conception of four classical elements and four bodily fluids (mainly influenced by Aristotle’s epistemology). It is vital to touch upon some of the most important events, which together developed from the illiterate and the first literate societies into the complex historical tapestry within which the history of Armenia unfolded.
