Do you know that Yerevan is 2804 years old and Armenians celebrate the anniversary of their beloved city on October 14th?

Yerevan, the capital of Armenia, is considered one of the world’s oldest cities and 29 years older than Rome, but the ancient city looks too young for its age.

Yerevan’s history dates to 782 BC, when king Argishti founded the fortress of Erebuni. The cuneiform inscription reads: “By the greatness of the God Khaldi, Argishti, son of Menua, built this mighty stronghold and proclaimed it Erebuni for the glory of Biainili [Urartu] and to instill fear among the king’s enemies.”
