Armenia lays claim to the fact that it was the first country to proclaim Christianity as the state religion, way back in the year 301AD, exactly 1701 years ago. (The Romans were still exposing local Christians to the lions in the Colessium.)
History will show that the Armenian Apostolic Christian Church has survived very much in its original form in spite of centuries of conflict and domination by numerous political, ethnic and military entities who have from time to time controlled this crossroads of Western Asia and the Middle East.
During the late Middle Ages, caravans of traders passed through greater Armenia on the Silk Road made famous by Marco Polo and other merchant adventurers en route from China to Rome and the Eastern Mediterranean. Also, long before historians were recording Armenia's millenniums, Biblical legends identified Armenia's 15,000 foot high Mount Ararat as the spot where Noah's Ark came to rest after the Great Flood. And indeed as proof of that fact,you will be able to witness a fragment of Noah's Ark and also the holy lance which pierced the body of Christ on the Cross. These artifacts housed in the treasure house of the Armenian Vatican - Holy Edchmiadzin .

The fragment of Noah's ark

Today's geographic boundaries of Armenia embrace only a small percentage of the territory which was formerly "Greater Armenia." In the 11th century Armenia's influence covered most of the land mass south of the Caucasus mountains between the Black and Caspian seas extending into parts of present day Turkey, Iran and Syria. In Ancient times, Armenian culture was linked to Babylon, Assyria and even Egypt. The Egyptians, too believed that life began from a mountain, surrounded by a vast expanse of water. Egyptologists have hinted the Egyptian fascination with the pyramid to this belief. The Egyptians had since ancient times developed close connections with the people of Ararat. The great pharaohs often married into the noble and royal families of ancient Armenian kingdom of Mittani, Queen Nefertiti being one of the most notable representatives of Mitanni princesses on the Egyptian throne. Their friendship and cooperation with the Kingdom of Mittani and intimate connections stretched from the Kingdom's period into the Hyksos and Hurrian dynasties (XVI th dynasty) in Egypt from the Armenian Highland.

 

The Holy Bible and the Hebrew scriptures too, tell us of the Great Flood and Noah's Ark. Forty days of the Great Flood, which symbolizes the long period of time of the Flood and constant precipitation (the number forty in ancient civilizations, meant a lot, in Armenian Folklore it even had a significant and symbolic importance).

When the downpour of rain stops and the water secedes, Noah descents from upon the Holy Mt. Ararat into the Araratian Valley of Armenia. One of the first things Noah does as a symbol of Human Rebirth is the planting of the seeds of a grape vineyard. He advises his three sons to venture from the Land of Armenia into all corners of the known world to repopulate and revive the world. Japheth, Noah's oldest son decides to stay with Noah in Armenia and becomes the Forefather of the Armenian People. The Armenians since those times have considered Ararat as the Holiest spot in the world, and as a Holy ground have taken the symbol of the Holy Mt. Ararat as God's covenant, the eternal symbol of the continuum of the undying tenacity and vigor of the Armenian nation.
