The first steps of your Pilgrimage will start from Katoghike Holy Mother of God and Zoravor Surb Astvatsatsin Churches, both dating back to the XIII century, situated in the centre of Yerevan. To get acquainted with the capital of Armenia, we will have a City Tour in Yerevan - one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world and the only one, that has a "Birth Certificate" - a cuneiform inscription, left by King Argishti I on a basalt stone slab about the foundation of the city in 782 BC, displayed at the Erebuni Fortress-Museum. Yerevan is often pegged as the "Pink City" because of the colour of the stones used to build much of the city centre. Another name of Yerevan is an "Open-air Museum", the reason of which you will understand upon your visit. We will start the City tour from visiting Cascade Monument which is about 450 meters high and 50 meters wide. A panoramic view from the top of Cascade opens up a breathtaking city view with Opera House, Mount Ararat, Swan Lake, Republic Square and posh Northern Avenue, along which you will walk down during the tour. We will also visit Matenadaran, which means a "book-depository" in old Armenian. Indeed, Matenadaran is the pride of Armenian culture, the world's largest storage of ancient manuscripts. In fact, it is a scientific research institute of ancient manuscripts which stores more than 17 thousand ancient manuscripts and more than 100 thousand ancient archival documents.

Brno, 9th July 2015 .................................................... Signature Abstract Title: Materiality of Urartian Stone Inscriptions and its Implications Author: Martin Malata Department/Institute: Masaryk University, Faculty of Arts, Institute of Archaeology and Museology, Department of Prehistoric Archaeology of the Near East Supervisor of the diploma thesis: doc. PhDr. Jarmila Bednaříková, CSc. Abstract: The thesis deals with Urartian cuneiform inscriptions in stone from the viewpoint of the theory of materiality, that is, as tools for proliferation of ideas and for social discourse, mainly from the ruler´s perspective. In the first part, an explanation is given on how the inscriptions were treated due to their nature as a literary source. Then, theory of materiality is summarized and the concept of acral kingship is introduced briefly. In the second part, the aspects of the inscriptions are assessed: patterns of repeating, presence of formulaic expressions (curse formula, „King of Biainili, ruler of Ṭušpa city“ formula), potential deliberate damage to the inscriptions, the size of the cuneiform signs, and spatial distribution as well as temporal development of particular observed trends.

Several bones exhibited signs of healed trauma, including a small blunt force lesion on the frontal bone, broken nose, fractured clavicle and two ribs as well as traumatic synostosis of tibia and fibula. ere was also quite evident degenerative joint disease in the cervical and lumbar vertebrae as well as peculiar morphology of the proximal femora suggesting high load to this part of the body. is observed pattern of lesions suggests an active life and may be the consequence of habitual horse riding. Key words: trauma; degenerative joint disease; tibia-fibula exostosis; scoliosis; horse riding; Urartu kingdom Introduction In antiquity the Armenian Highland served as a crossroad linking east and west. Over- land trade routes existed between the Near East through the Armenian Highland and the Caucasus to the Balkans and to the north Black Sea coast.

  • Directory of California Ethnic Media, Which Lists Almost 300 News Outlets — Print, Broadcast, Digital — Across the State
    NOTE FROM THE PUBLISHER Ethnic Media Services, founded in 2018 to sustain and build on the work of New America Media, is pleased to publish our Directory of California Ethnic Media, which lists almost 300 news outlets — print, broadcast, digital — across the state. We are grateful for the support of key partners including California Black Media, ImpreMedia, Hoopa Radio, and the Center for Community & Ethnic Media, in compiling this list. The Directory aims to expand access to the sector at a time when communicating with California’s diverse communities has become more urgent than ever amidst the rollout of the 2020 census, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the economic turmoil it has generated. This Directory is a work-in-progress — in today’s highly fluid media landscape, we will update the online information monthly. Thanks to support from the Complete Count Committee Office 2020 Census and several national funders, we were able to expand our research and discover ethnic media platforms we never knew existed: podcasts, radio stations, weeklies, online news sites serving newly settled immigrants and long-siloed ethnic groups. The takeaway from our daily interactions with the sector is that despite the collapse of the business model that has decimated all media, the ethnic news outlets are determined to survive to inform and advocate for their audiences. Some of those outlets have been in opera- tion for decades while others are much newer. Their resilience is inspiring. Their role in creating an inclusive communications infrastruc- ture for this state is indispensable. We look forward to replicating the California Directory with a national listing of our ethnic media partners later this year.
