The History of the Armenian People. Valiant Descendants of the Great Noah

The famous French archaeologist Jacques de Morgan explores the history of the Armenian people from ancient times to the first quarter of the 20th century. Morgan's work is particularly interesting because it cites little-known and untranslated sources, and is distinguished... by its vivid portrayal of the dramatic events experienced by the Armenian people. The author presents the history of wars in which Armenians were involved, in one way or another, and a gallery of portraits of the kings who ruled them. Morgan pays special attention to the cultural life of the people, how writing, literature, visual arts, crafts, music, and theater originated and developed, naming those who played an important role in various activities. The narrative is adorned with about four hundred illustrations.
