About this listen

If you want to discover the captivating history of Armenia, then pay attention...

The tale of Armenia has its beginnings as a glorious ancient kingdom, one that commanded the respect of nations as mighty as Egypt and Babylonia. As its history takes a turn for the darker, each section reads like a roll call of the most famous of figures: Antony and Cleopatra, Alexander the Great, Genghis Khan, Frederick Barbarossa. Armenia saw ancient Rome rise to power; it knew Egyptian pharaohs, the Golden Horde, the Soviet Union, and saw the first invasion of the first Muslim army. For a long and ugly part of its history, Armenia struggled under the yokes of one empire after another: The Roman, Parthian, Persian, Byzantine, Timurid, Mongolian, and Ottoman Empires, to name just a few.

Yet through it all, Armenia, time and time again, emerged as a nation with a powerful identity, one that caused much grief over the years, but one that still remains a pillar of strength to its people in good times and in bad.

Loved It

Pronunciation is a problem, and desperately needing an update to include the Sumgait massacres, 44 day war in 2020, and the most recent blockade of the Lachin corridor!
Otherwise highly suggest everyone to listen to understand Armenia’s present day struggles.

Wonderful historical story telling

This is about as good of a one-volume history text as you will find. Armenia has a lengthy and complicated history and the author does a good job of providing clarity in his narrative. Armenians are a tough group of survivors.
