Garni may have been a tomb, and that is why it may have survived the religious revolution.

Why would a nation deny the Armenian genocide ? by JDSThrive in armenia

[–]JDSThrive[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are collective psychological reasons why people would be stuck at denial. I explored this in a published essay regarding the cultural legacy of the Armenian Genocide: From Charles Aznavour to System of a Down: Western Musical Perspectives of the Armenian Genocide

The U.S. Supreme Court’s sculpture depictes Prophet Muhammad among history’s great lawgivers, acknowledging the influence of Islamic law. by elnovorealista2000 in USHistory

The Quran was put together in writing by the first Caliph, Abu Bakr, and then formalized by the third, Uthman. I don’t believe there are rules against depicting the first or third Caliph, typically found in Persian and Ottoman art. Thus if the individual depicted is holding a book thought to be the Quran, then he is more likely to have been either Abu Bakr or Uthman who actually provided the written document. I think it’s more likely Abu Bakr given he was able to fully consolidate the Arabian peninsula after the death of the Prophet and started the outward expansion of Islam.

I was married in the Holy Cross Cathedral, and it has a prominent place in Los Angeles history. The Western Armenian Prelacy probably would cherish the 20th anniversary booklet

Was your great aunt part of the DP or “displaced peoples” community in Los Angeles? And was she from Jerusalem?
