The Peoples of Ararat, Armen Asher & Teryl Minasian Asher (softcover)

The Peoples of Ararat were among the most advanced and powerful peoples of the ancient world. They rivaled the Egyptians and Assyrians for supremacy in the ancient Near East, developed their own unique and flourishing civilization at the very dawn of civilization, transmitted culture and civilization to every quarter of the ancient Near East and gave the story of Noah to the descendants of Abraham.

This is the story of the Peoples of Ararat, from their elusive beginnings through their conquests and accomplishments to their ultimate defeat, when they vanished from memory and sank into oblivion. It is also the story of the myths and legends that inspired the recent discoveries of the Peoples of Ararat and of the intrepid archaeologists and explorers who resurrected unsuspected civilizations from the ghostly silence of obscurity.
