In Georgia, a mysterious Bashplemi tablet has emerged with an entirely new writing system that was never seen before.

Found near Bashplemi Lake in 2021, this tablet made of volcanic basalt rock measures about 9×8 inches and is covered in etchings that have yet to be deciphered.

The tablet contains 60 characters arranged in seven rows, 39 of which are unique. These strange symbols don’t match any known language. Although it hasn’t been chemically dated, archaeologists believe the carvings could date back to the late Bronze around 3,500 years ago.

Some repeated figures might represent numbers, suggesting they could be records of military spoils, construction projects, or offerings to a deity. Researchers are actively working to decipher this enigmatic script.

# **Aveluk(Ավելուկով, Wild Sorrel)**

Aveluk is a type of native Armenian wild or mountain sorrel with a slightly sour flavor. It is a traditional ingredient typical of authentic Armenian cuisine that finds wide usage in dishes such as aveluk soup and aveluk salad. The leaves of aveluk are typically collected during the spring season, and they are then made into braids, which are either used fresh or hung to dry in a windy place, away from direct sunlight.

In Armenia, the aveluk braids are traditionally made by women and are usually very long, even up to four times the height of the one who’s making them. Praised for their exquisite flavor and remarkable medical benefits, fresh or dried braids of aveluk are available at numerous markets.

The oldest carpet in the world is Armenian.
Details from Pazyryk Rug, Pazryryk Valley, Siberia, c. 500 BC.⁣
⁣
The Pazyryk Rug is the oldest carpets in the world, dating around the 5th c. BC. The rug was found in the grave of a Scythian nobleman in the Pazyryk Valley of the Altai Mountains in Siberia in 1949.⁣
Now is it in Hermitage Museum.
⁣
The rug was found in a semi-frozen state near a burial tomb. Water filled the tomb, probably due to the actions of grave robbers, and froze, preventing any of the degradation or decay that would normally occur. It is because of this completely frozen and dark environment that the Pazyryk Rug was wonderfully preserved for over two and half millenniums.⁣

Red jasper intaglio with the profile head of the Armenian king Tigranes II the Great.
The Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, Massachusetts owns a rare artifact: a red jasper intaglio with the profile head of the Armenian king Tigranes II the Great, facing left. He wears the Armenian tiara with five spikes/peaks rendered by two pellets, a larger topped by a smaller. The entire crown is outlined with round dots. On the tiara, an eight-pointed star with a central circle is flanked on either side by birds (possibly eagles), facing outward but turning their heads back towards the central star. Two flaps also outlined with dots extend from underneath the tiara, covering his hair and ear.
By 1900 the intaglio was purchased by the American archaeologist and collector Edward Perry Warren, according to his records, in Smyrna. A year later, it was acquired by the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston.
Tigranes II, more commonly known as Tigranes the Great (95– 55 BCE), was King of Armenia, under whom the country became the most vital state to Rome’s east. He was a member of the Artaxiad Royal House. Under his reign, the Armenian kingdom, allowing Tigranes to claim the title of Great King and involving Armenia in many battles against opponents such as the Parthian and Seleucid empires and the Roman Republic.
The phrase “sea to sea Armenia” (Armenian: ծովից ծով Հայաստան) is a popular expression used by Armenians to refer to the kingdom of Tigranes which extended from the Caspian Sea to the Mediterranean Sea.

🍷🇦🇲❤ Let's go inside a traditional Armenian winery. We believe it provides a more unique experience when the founder of the winery is showing you around sharing their fascinating stories, vision and plilosophy. In traditional Armenian winemaking clay amphorae have been used for nearly 8000 years. The oak barrels came later.. In Armenia the oak barrels are made using the local oak as it cooperates better with the native grape varieties. #armenia #travel #visitarmenia #PrivateToursinArmenia #privateguideinarmenia #TravelAndAdventureShow #wine #armenianwine
