How many know anything about Armenia?
I watched a movie
A few years ago
Genocide in a place called Armenia
Committed by the Young Turks of the Ottoman Empire , a crumbling and decadent government.
I took it to heart and knew I needed to know more.
This only happened in the 1914-1920’s.
The First World War was a great cover for the first genocide of the 20thcentury
So I visited the museum
My first glimpse was of how wonderfully ancient this place is
And I know Cos I read the history books
But I didn’t know the sophistication of the Neolithic people in Armenia.
Their pagan history comes from the Earth Mother
Christians made sure that was decimated but absorbed so many of the original Armenian world and Catholicism made it their own. I get tired of the same story I see repeated in every country I visit.is
Islam is no better as they were deeply complicit in the Armenian genocide.
It’s been a big day
So many emotions
And the day began at 3 this morning.
Tomorrow I travel with my guide
Out into the countryside
But I will sleep tonight.
