- Chronicles the discovery of an ancient Armenian city on territory reclaimed by Armenian forces during the Karabagh war.
According to historians there were as many as 5 major cities built by Tigran the Great at various strategic positions throughout the Armenian Empire, ranging from Lebanon to the Caspian Sea. Each of these cities was named after the king -- Tigranakert. The greatest Tigranakert, the capitol of the realm and the residence of Tigran himself, is widely believed to have been in the vicinity of modern Diyarbakir.
Of the several Tigranakerts, the general locations of only two of them have ever been known for sure - the Tigranakert near Diyarbakir and the Tigranakert of Artsakh - but archaeologists have never been able to find their remains.
This film is about the rediscovery of the Tigranakert of Artsakh, located in the present day Agdam region currently controlled by the Republic of Nagorno-Karabagh. For an exact map location please see the Recording Date and Location info in the Statistics and Date tab, right beneath the ratings box.
The existence of the Tigranakert of Artsakh has never been a secret, though its precise location has never been revealed until now. Historical evidence can be found in the works of the 7th century historians Sebeos and Movses Kaghankatvatsi. Sebeos makes repeated references to the Tigranakert of Artsakh, or Utik (the classical Armenian name of the province just east of Artsakh where the city is located), and Kaghankatvatsi, in his "History of Aghvank", makes mention of 'T'grakerti Vank (monastery)' and its head priest: archeologists believe the church they discovered just beneath the fortress of Tigranakert, as seen in the film, is most likely this very same monastery.
Additional historical evidence of Tigranakert of Artsakh/Utik includes a 13th century inscription at the famous Gandzasar monastery left by a pilgrim from 'Tigranakert'.
According to Hamlet Petrosian, as late as the 15th century the area where the fortress has been found was called 'T'krakert' or 'Tarnayurt'; corruptions of the original name which had been kept alive by locals long after the city itself had disappeared. (Similarly, 'Diyarbakir' is a corrupted form of Tigranakert as well.)
Finally, another bit of corroborative evidence not mentioned in the film is a coin of Tigran the Great that was found in this same area many years ago, now on display at the history museum in nearby Stepanakert.

Thank you, I am an American who is 1/4 Armenian. Until recently I knew very little of my heritage. I love learning about it. I feel it's important to know, it is what makes us who we are. On a side note, my Grandfather was also a Zareh.
A new resurrection of discovery, history, religion , culture and hope.Fascinating work.Thank you for posting.
The more and more I learn about my history the more I am proud of my country no matter what!

To me, all of these people are heroes. Putting the truth in the face of the Turks. Not using words like them, but with material evidence.

I've noticed that some people are confused about this. There were as many as 5 Tigranakerts, of which the Tigranakert of Artsakh was one. Indeed, it is the only one to have ever been found.
For more extensive details about this, please see my updated description under the 'more info' tab.
Thanks
ուզում եմ տարածել , էդ ,,օկուպացվածը,, խանգարում է, հասկանում եք?
amazing discovery,more and more everyday is revealed to the world as to whom is the real inhabatants of artsakh(karabakh)
Thank you Zareh. For 17 centuries our clergy curtailed all pagan from our eyes.Yet our grandeur seems to be burried under earth dust and mud. I read on the face of emperor Dikran our greatness and unique qualities. It inspires me to think that we Armenians probably loved our nation and each other more than what Christianity has taught us to do. Proof? look at the faces of our Katholikos I, and Katholikos II.I At this very site Dikran's statue will be most appropriate don't you agree?
i love my people
Thank you for the informative video. Armenians are very important to humanity as they were the first issue to arise from the family of Noah. I noted the man-made terraces being likened to the handing gardens of Babylon and it is widely accepted by historians etc that the Sumerians descend from the Land of Uraratu. Should we look closely at Sumeria we find the strange things happening with demon infestation all over again out of which grows all the unholy things called Babylong the whore.
Has they diged upp mote of the city !??!
they are not confused mate. They are pretending to be, especially either pretending to be foreigners or Armenians just to push an Azeri or Turkish point for other readers.
Thanks for the video and the info!
լսեք, էդ ինչ թյուրիմացություն եք գրել, օկուպացվածը որն է?,օկուպացված էր թուրքերի կողմից,մենք ազատագրել ենք, թե չէ ստացվում է որ ինքներս մեզ օկուպացրել ենք, զգույշ եղեք և ջնջեք էդ թյուրիմացությունը
Ախպերս, Տիգրանակերտը միհատ չի եղել:
Thank you for posting these video's. These are another proof of the ownership of the lands and Armenians are the ones who owns these lands. We need to free all Armenian lands and drive a way the bastards of the world to their homeland seljukstan!!!
