View show details

Before Islam, before the oil boom, before the khans — Azerbaijan was home to one of the earliest Christian kingdoms: Caucasian Albania. In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the fascinating story of the Albanian Apostolic Church, from its legendary founding by the Apostle Bartholomew to its absorption into the Armenian Apostolic Church. They discuss the unique alphabet created by Mesrop Mashtots, the ruins of the Kish Church in Shaki, the role of the Albanian Church in resisting Sassanid Zoroastrian pressure, and the mysterious 'Albanian' monastery at Gandzasar. They also touch on the modern controversies over heritage and identity in Nagorno-Karabakh. A little-known chapter that reshapes how we see the Caucasus. #CaucasianAlbania #AlbanianApostolicChurch #KishChurch #Gandzasar #MesropMashtots #CaucasianAlbanianAlphabet #AzerbaijanHistory #ChristianityInCaucasus #SassanidEmpire #NagornoKarabakh #Shaki #EarlyChristianity #Udih #ChurchHistory #Caucasus #History #FexingoHistory #ForgottenKingdoms Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
