Summary
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.
In History of Armenia: A Captivating Guide to Armenian History, Starting from Ancient Armenia to Its Declaration of Sovereignty from the Soviet Union, you will discover topics such as:
- The Home of Eden

Very nicely described history.
The audible provides important information about Armenia society, about faith, the World Wars, being grabbed between countries, the Cold War, and struggling for their independence that anyone who reads it will gravitate to.

Loved the insight and the intimacy
In this audible, each chapter presents interest to further research into the countries self-development. Throughout time Armenia has been caught in the middle with The Romans, The Mongols, European Christianity, and The Ottoman Empire. That has shaped it into the country that it is today.

A Country Wounded but not Broken
This audible offers its readers a general account of Armenia’s vibrant history. They were included in battles with Assyria and Egypt, survived a genocide of over 1.5 million people and with the strength of their faith and community, they reconstructed their land into the remarkable landmark that it is now.

A good introduction to the topic
It does an excellent job of describing "what" happened, which is helpful if you're largely ignorant. Little higher-level thought through - examining "why" and the like.

Good history volume.
There are short chapters, invite further research into historical events or culture or architecture or politics or performers, etc, etc, which have developed from Armenia since the times of the old Greeks and the Persians.

Stunning tale of survival
The painful story of the Armenian genocide isn't often told. The book tells history that you may have been unaware of,

Wonderful historical story telling
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.

Must read
This is definitely a very short version of the book, but a must read for anyone living in the diaspora and in Armenia. Being a Russian-Armenian I think especially the Russian-Armenian diaspora has to listen to this book and better understand Armenian history and role of Soviets and Russians in modern history of Armenia.

Well worthwhile
I like the story very much the history comes alive with the retelling of all the famous people who are part of that history.
I hope that you'll get this retelling of the history because it's is of the of the Mesopotamian culture which is very fascinating.

Extremely well researched and well written.
Extremely well researched and well written. Much information about the Parthian empire which I did not know. Somehow Parthia seems to have slipped through the cracks in history books. This history of Armenis is heartbreaking.

Very Clear
It is a clear and concise narrative, it makes a lot easier to understand their pain, their strength, and their soul.
