About this listen

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.

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.

A good introduction to the topic

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.

Loved the insight and the intimacy

Very nicely described history.
