CAVES OF ARMENIA

During the Soviet times, the discussion of national individuality, history, traditions and eccentricities was banned. Every day, caves are being discovered and they provide clues about the ancient history of Armenia. The seven stone doors of the Martabnak Caves (Anthropological Caves) are now open, and shed light upon this ancient civilization. The exploration of the caves reveals the story of how this nation withstood the attacks and conquests of so many enemies. This labyrinth of the cave is not a simple puzzle to solve, but it elucidates many mysteries.
