Karahundj (Armenia's Stonehenge)

Reviewed By hayks2021

One of the oldest places of civilization on earth. The place that people have built to observe the stars, planets, the Universe over 7500 years ago. Just a unique place, with its energy, a mystery, an amazing name, which is consonant with Wiltshire Stonehenge (there are quite a few hypotheses that they have much in common and a very close connection).
