Running low on ideas. I have a few more ideas of the same variety as the previous weeks, but maybe only enough for a day or two.

I have some flag color swaps from some eliminated flags with 2, 3, 4, and 5 colors, but I'm not sure what a good structure would be for making polls for them, and if we do use them, I plan on making more.

What would you all like to see? Any specific color averages? Color swaps? I'm not sure what's interesting to you all out there. I'd put a poll on this, but I don't really know what would be the best options, so I'd be interested in your feedback! What we gather here can also be used to fill time between future rounds as well.

Armenia's Khor Virap Monastery

Khor Virap is an ancient Armenian monastery located near the border with Turkey some 8 km (5 mi) from the town of Artashat, Armenia. It is situated on the Ararat Plain and offers fantastic views of Mt. Ararat in good weather. Legend has it that St. Gregory the Illuminator (c. 257-c. 331 CE) was imprisoned here for 14 years by Tiridates III of Armenia (r. 287-330 CE). Historical record states that a chapel built on the site by Catholicos Nerses III (r. 641-661 CE) — who was also responsible for the construction of Zvartnots Cathedral — in 642 CE. Continuously reconstructed througout the centuries, Khor Virap remains one of the most visited pilgrimage sites in modern Armenia.

The mother church of the Armenian Apostolic Church, Etchmiadzin Church, is situated in Vagharshapat and is regarded as the most significant religious location in Armenia. Known by another name, the "Catholicate of All Armenians," it was founded in the fourth century to serve as the capital of the Catholicate for the whole Armenian people when St. Gregory the Illuminator converted King Tiridates III to Christianity in 301 CE. St. Gregory witnessed a miraculous incident that marked the foundation of the church: the Son of God, surrounded by a powerful angelic host, struck the earth with a golden hammer to mark the location of the Mother Cathedral of the nascent Christian. A new nation was to be founded. Etchmiadzin, "the place where the Only Begotten descended," is the name given to this occasion.

ERMENİ TANRIÇASI ANAHİT

Ermeni bereket, şifa, bilgelik ve su tanrıçası Anahit.

Yunan tarihçi, coğrafyacı ve filozof Strabon'a göre Ermeniler Perslerin ve Medlerin dinine bağıydı ve özellikle Anaitis'e saygı duyuyorlardı.

Ermenistan kralları "tarikatın kararlı destekçileriydi" ve III. Tiridates "Resmi olarak Aramazd-Anahit-Vahagn üçlüsüne dua ediyordu ama büyük hanımefendi Anahit'e özel bir bağl��lık gösteriyordu.

Bütün insan ırkının, bütün bilgilerin anası, büyük Aramazd'ın kızı Anahit.

Doğurganlık, şifa, bilgelik ve su diyarlarını kutsayan Ermeni tanrıçası Anahit.

Ermeni maneviyatının dokusunda Anahit'in varlığı derindir; hem kralların hem de halkın bağlılığının dokusuna işlemişti

Çoğunlukla Ermenistan'ın Artashat bölgesindeki Anahit tapınakları, Tanrıça Anahit'in onların iyileşmesine ve iyileşmesine yardım edeceğine inanıldığı için hastaları ve hastaları karşıladığı biliniyordu.

Aramazd, Anahit ve Vahagn'ın iç içe geçtiği; bilgeliği, refahı ve yaşamın besleyici akışını arayanların kalplerine rehberlik eden ilahi bir üçlü.

Anahit adı dünya çapındaki Ermeni topluluklarında yaygındır ve yaygın olarak kullanılmaktadır.

Ermeni tarih derslerinden Afrodit'ten ilham alan erotik sanatlara kadar Anahit, Ermeni paganizminin anası olarak kabul edilir.

Temple of Tyr-Apollo

Artashat (Artaxata), Armenia

1st century CE

The site is located on the left bank of the Arax River, next to the Taperakan (Artashat) Bridge. An earlier temple complex (189/188 BCE) was destroyed in the early 1st century, during the Roman campaign led by Domitius Corbulo, which sacked the city in 59.

A new platform was built over the old during the reign of T'rdat I (r. 53-60) and a new building was built on top. Both the platform and temple were made of limestone. Six wide steps (4.85m) led to the eastern entrance of the temple. The walls were decorated with bas relief sculptures. For a long time the locations of this site had been unknown and widely disputed. Among the artifacts found were varying sizes and types of imported and locally-made pottery including a remarkable find, a polished red lion-headed lug bowl. Also found was an eagle head made from limestone with eyes and neck painted dark red. In ancient times the lion was the symbol of the summer sun and the eagle was the symbol of both the sun and a messenger of the gods.

After Christianity was adopted as state religion the new temple, too, was destroyed.

PLACES IN THE ANCIENT WORLD: Artashat (Capital of Ancient Armenia) 

ARTASHAT (aka Artaxata) was the capital of Ancient Armenia from 176 BCE and remained so for over 300 years of the kingdom’s history. Located just south of Armenia’s modern capital Yerevan, according to the ancient historian Plutarch, the city’s original fortifications were planned by the Carthaginian general Hannibal. The city would need all the defences it could muster as it was attacked multiple times by Roman armies throughout its history until it was eventually replaced by Vagharshapat and Dvin as the country's first city.

Around 200 BCE Artaxias I (aka Artashes or Artaxerxes), backed by the Seleucid ruler Antiochus III (r. 222-187 BCE), was made the Seleucid Empire’s satrap in Armenia. Artaxias would reign until 165 or 160 BCE and found the Artaxiad dynasty which would rule Armenia until the first decade of the 1st century CE.
