Metsamor: Picnic at Ancient Civilizations
Marking the autumn equinox where ancient civilizations watched the skies and built cities thousands of years ago. Program: • Metsamor Museum-Reserve: an ancient settlement dating back over 5,000 years. Explore cyclopean wall remains, a Bronze Age workshop, an open-air prehistoric observatory, an original vishapakar brought from Aragats, a stone-carved irrigation map, excavated artifacts, and a collection of phallic stones. • Argishtikhinili: ruins of the 8th-century BCE Urartian settlement atop a hill, with ancient walls, house foundations, and ceramic fragments scattered across the site. We will hold a picnic and greet the equinox among the ancient ruins.
