The Pre-History of the Armenians Volume 2: The Proto-Armenian Hieroglyphic Inscriptions of Aram

Description

his challenging new analysis of the hieroglyphic inscriptions of ancient Anatolia establishes direct links to the modern Armenian language, people and their traditions. Now deciphered correctly for the first time, the written records left to us by these first Armenians not only present a vivid picture of how they lived but also provide a vital key to filling in gaps in the history of Anatolia and the Near East.
