Hey, I wanted to thank you for making videos on Armenia. I have always wondered why as Armenian history is often overlooked for more well known names and countries. But I also see a lot of other smaller countries and peoples represented on your channel. Either way, thank you very much for teaching and spreading the intriguing and fascinating histories that you do!
Thank you so much! It’s probably unfair for me to request two in a row, but if at all possible in the future please cover the Bulgarian city of Preslav. This city is of insane cultural significance as it is the cradle of Orthodox Slavia. I’m any case, this is the first time I’ve ever been recognized by a channel. I really appreciate the work you do man.
Could you do a video on the Dalmatians and Republic of Ragusa? As a native of Montenegrin Dalmatia (Bay of Kotor) I’d love to see such a fascinating extinct culture talked about
I’ve done quite a bit of research into this even before I started this channel and I love the topic and idea. Will definitely be added to the docket! I will let you know when it’s being released. Montenegro is a beautiful country, hope I can visit someday!
Wow what I’d give to see what it looked like in its prime. It must have been an absolutely gorgeous city. If even the few remaining ruins are that intricate, the entire city must have been incredible.
On the topic of abandoned Armenian cities, how about one about Edessa? I think it'd be interesting to track the city through various periods and rulers, seeing as how it was controlled by the Romans, Persians, Arabs, Armenians, Byzantines, and Crusaders at different points throughout its history before getting destroyed by Nur al-Din in the 1140s.
This video with well narrated historical events has provided me a lead to search more before I take further step towards exploring this fascinating place so I add it on my Balkans vlog that I'm working for couple of years. Thanks
Awesome! When I was a teenager looking up interesting stuff online I came across pictures of Armenian ruins like at Ani and thought it was so cool, I was really into the middle ages and architecture then. Thanks for making a video about something relatively obscure
The couldn't advance in europe so not true but because armenian is a Cristians land who probably departed crim jesus but still has cristian value their mentality wasn't of warriors like the satanic pagans are. @@abandonedhistoryUS
@@abandonedhistoryUS What a load of ignorant racist BS. The Ottoman rulers referred to Armenians as millet-i sadıka i.e the loyal nation. Look it up. Do your research on the Ottoman Empire's Armenian Christian pashas/generals (such as Agop Kazakyan and Ohannes Sakiz Pasha) ministers, burecrats, consuls, diplomats, deputy councellors, royal architects (such as the famous Balyan family), royal physicians, academics, authors, interpreters, musicians, composers of Ottoman classical music and very rich, influential Armenian businessmen in the Ottoman Empire. The Ottomans were the ones that invited and encouraged Armenians to migrate to Constantinople, Prusa (Bursa), Trebizond (Trabzon), Batumi, Smyrna (Izmir), Ancyra (Ankara), Attaleia (Antalya), Thessaloniki (Selanik), Plovdiv (Filibe), Varna for the first time in history and to establish Armenian neighbourhoods, churches, schools in those cities and allowed them to freely practice their religion and use Armenian language. If Turks had "never liked Armenians", they would've already had annihilated or assimilated all of them before 1915.
God bless Armenia 🇦🇲 the first Christian Nation the land of Prophet Noah Gbhs. The oldest Churches in the world can be found there. Today the sub turks are terrorizing it and stealing its lands but no one is speaking up against this loss of ancient Christian History. A shame‼️
My hope is that my videos make some people realize how important it is to fight for this history while we still can. Too many people forget about Armenia, despite all the tragedy and hardship the country has faced. My heart goes out to the Armenian people and nation and I hope that they see success in the future! 🙏

Correction at 10:53 Ani was controlled by the Georgo-Armenian Dynasty known as the Zakarids not the Kingdom of Georgia. Apologies for the confusion!
Great video; Armenian history is so underrated, I’d love to link this video since I have a small Armenian following
I hope Age of Empires ii made Armenian as civilzation. with Georgian and Avars

Likewise, such a shame that the city was not maintained

Edessa is very interesting, awesome suggestion!
Great video as always!
Thank you for doing this. Well done.
Thanks John!
Bravo 🙏❤️🙌 and thank you 🙏
Glad you enjoyed!
Apology in advance for any pronunciation mishaps! This was a harder one!
@@HolyArmor did you finish the video? I said that a Muslim conquests of the city basically destroyed it. Odd comment
@abandonedhistoryUS Sry hadn't finished it. Basically the turk conquest, as it did with many other things as it spread like a cancer.
@@HolyArmor yea please finish my video before leaving comments accusing me of not covering things.

They really scuffed up Gagik II huh 😡

I appreciate the support Steven. Ani's architecture is beautiful, would truly be something else if most of it was still standing!
It is a shame Turkey neglects and does artillery drills in this amazing site, Armenia will endure though
спасибо большое за ролик.
If you want a suggestion, perhaps Leptis Magna in modern day Libya?
Great idea!
Wow the Turks never liked the Armenians did they?
Nope, but then again the Turks kinda just killed and conquered everything they touched.
@abandonedhistoryUS I'm just glad things have changed 😕
