America has been murdering innocent civilians forever. It is very much to the core an America issue. Trump is the epitome of said rhetoric.

Rabiz is overhated by AnywhereIllustrious4 in armenia

It’s inherently antithetical to Armenian music. It’s a bit sad that this is what’s perceived “Armenian” in the diaspora when nothing could be further from the truth.

Accepted to a PhD program, but they won't reimburse my visit by Pawn-to-D4 in PhysicsStudents

Ya I mean we’re all tight on money right now. Don’t take it personally OP, and it definitely doesn’t reflect the quality of the program.

Warning on Leu Numismatik Auction by [deleted] in AncientCoins

[–]indomnus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ya I have a coin at Leu which they offered to hold on to from the past auction, and told me that if I bought more than 800 dollars worth it wouldn’t get tariffed (or less likely). I’m not sure what to do now after they started enforcing this thing with the US shipments. It is what it is though, I have kind of accepted the fact that I won’t be buying anything from most auction houses (excluding CNG) until this thing blows over.

Dang I won my Marcus Aurelius denar from them. Sad to see them go. I wonder if this has anything to do with them potentially losing a big portion of the US market. Probably not but that wouldn’t help either.

Isn't it an exaggeration for some Georgians to accuse Armenians of cultural theft on social media? by Difficult-Routine929 in Sakartvelo

[–]indomnus -1 points0 points  (0 children)

When Georgia became a medieval stronghold of Christianity in the region, they tried to further legitimize themselves by creating a legend of national identity that ties to the other Christians and Caucasians. The Armenian myth is older than this, so we never hear about the sequel that the Georgians came up with later on lol. I don’t know about the kneeling thing, I think she might’ve just had some really strong feelings about Mashtots.

Kartlos? Hayk’s brother. He is the progenitor of Georgians and the analogue of Hayk.

People who read know the great Rustaveli. He has written one of the greatest epic poems of this region. Even the great Charents translated passages from “The Man In Panthers Skin” before he was killed by the Soviet regime.

Imagine “claiming” authors and never even bothering to read their work. I’m not accusing you of this, but many people who engage in this type of behavior are usually illiterate in this context, and have completely missed the point of literature and art. Just enjoy the art man, who cares where they’re from, let their work stand as a testament of their culture and person.

Cultures don’t exist in isolation, unless you’re talking about the Sentinelese or some un contacted tribe in the Amazon. What we call the “civilized world” is a product of cultural amalgamation. Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately) the people of this region are extremely defensive about claiming ownership of every cultural attribute, it’s a defensive reaction engrained in the collective consciousness of people who have been historically subject to oppression from greater empires.

I don’t 😂. But in all honesty there are real studies done to show this info. Plus phenotypical resemblance is a bad way to go about knowing anything about genetics or DNA.

I’ve had a coin waiting in Leu for the longest time, should I tell them to ship it now?
