Existence of ancient human being on Georgian territory is confirmed from the early stages of anthropogenesis. Nearby Dmanisi valley (80 km south-west of Tbilisi) the remnants of homo erectus are found, age of them is about 1,8 million years old. At present it is the oldest trace in Euro-Asia. Later on the Stone Age a man took the whole territory of Georgia. Former settlements of Ashel period (400–100 thousand years ago) are discovered as on the coast of the Black Sea as in the regions within highland Georgia.

  • An Historical Evaluation of the Covenants of the Prophet Muḥammad and 'Alī Ibn Abī Ṭālib in the Matenadaran "2279
    religions Article An Historical Evaluation of the Covenants of the Prophet † Muh. ammad and ‘Alı¯ ibn Abı¯ T. alib¯ in the Matenadaran Gayane Mkrtumyan Faculty of Oriental Studies, Yerevan State University, Yerevan 0025, Armenia; [email protected] † I would like to thank Prof. Ibrahim Zein and Mr. Ahmed El-Wakil for their kind assistance in finalizing this article. Abstract: This article analyzes the manuscripts in the Matenadaran in Yerevan, Armenia that are ascribed to the Prophet Muh. ammad and ‘Al¯ı ibn Ab¯ı T. alib¯ and their translations into Farsi and Armenian. These important manuscripts have until now been neglected by scholars, and so we will here provide a general overview of them and how they were received by the Armenian Apostolic Church. I herein demonstrate how these documents were recognized by Muslim authorities, shedding light on how Muslim rulers managed the affairs of their Christian subjects. These documents, it would seem, also influenced the decrees of Muslim rulers to the Armenian Apostolic Church. Keywords: covenant; Prophet Muhammad; Ali ibn Abi Talib; Matenadaran; Armenia; Armenian Apostolic Church 1. Introduction Citation: Mkrtumyan, Gayane. 2021. The Matenadaran, which is officially known as the Mesrop Mashtots Institute of An Historical Evaluation of the Ancient Manuscripts, is the world’s largest repository of Armenian manuscripts. Situated Covenants of the Prophet in Yerevan, the capital of Armenia, the Matenadaran was established in 1959 CE during Muhammad and ‘Al¯ı ibn Ab¯ı Talib¯ in . the Soviet era, having incorporated the collection of manuscripts that was held by the the Matenadaran .
