Thutmose III of Egypt (1500 BC) mentions the people of Ermenen,
and says in their land "heaven rests upon its four pillars".


The oldest known world map is the Imago Mundi of 6th century BC Babylonia.[1] The map as reconstructed by Eckhard Unger shows Babylon on the Euphrates, surrounded by a circular landmass showing Assyria, Armenia and several cities, in turn surrounded by a "bitter river" (Oceanus), with seven islands arranged around it so as to form a seven-pointed star, but the only existing nation from this map till this day is Armenia.

The Armenian language is unique compared to all other languages. Hurrian and Sumerian cuneiforms indicate the unique 8 or 9 sounds that the Armenian language has in their letters. The IE(Aryan) roots are from the Armenian Highland, and the 8 or 9 unique sounds in Armenian is nothing similar to other IE peoples language. The Armenian language therefore is a independent language of IE and root of IE.
