ANCIENT ARMENIA

Ancient Armenia's heyday started roughly around the year 700 BC. Soon after, the Medes and Persians took control of the neighborhood and consequently incorporated Armenia into their empire.

One of Armenia's beauties is Mount Ararat, according to the Bible the very mountain on which Noah's Ark made a stop with a bunch of seasick animals.

Here's a map of Greater Armenia around the year 63 BC.
