    For nearly three centuries between 1080 and 1375 a kingdom of exiles from the Armenian Plateau survived in the Taurus Mountains of modern day south-central Turkey. This is the story of the foundation of Armenian Cilicia during the maelstrom of violence that was the end of the Eleventh Century.

      Do you know if the roman empire had problems in Dumnonia?
      I ask because that aria is not heard of much (apart from Exeter) and because of the celtic language (Cornish) which was still commonly used untill the 18th century.

    • @HistoryTime
      @HistoryTime  6 років тому +2

      The main reason Cornish survives to this day is because the Anglo-Saxons had problems in Dumnonia. Prior to their coming most of the inhabitants of Britain still spoke Celtic languages. I would imagine Cornwall wasn't easy for the Romans, though they certainly brought its tin and mineral deposits under control fairly quickly, as that was one of the reasons for invasion Britain in the first place. I would imagine the Romans sort of let the Cornish be, and gradually Romanised them over successive generations, though this Romanisation was only relatively skin deep, even after four hundred years of rule.

      ellie gotfredson Armenian people are native to Armenian Highlands, they are mixture of Indo-Europeans and Hurrians (Urartu / Ararat kingdom), Armenian language is a separate branch of Indo-European language.
      About the Armenian prehistory you can read here, especially the entrance, just a short and objective, informative passage. And the whole article is a magnificent journey into the Armenian civilization.

And after the kingdom fell, its successors were the Armenians. Even though all this information is factual, the actual details are not too well known. Thanks for asking and inquiring about Armenia!

    Thank you for a wonderful video .
    My Great -grandfather was an Armenian with the name Manouk Papazian . He was from the town of Mersina near Tarsus . He was murdered by Turks in 1922. His son Nighogos Papazian escaped from his home town with his Greek Cypriot wife Despina [ nee -Nikolaidis ] by ship to Alexandria ,Egypt . His Greek in -laws persuaded Nighogos to change his name and citizenship to Greek . So he became Nicholas Papadopoulos. For years I though our family was from Smyrna but more recently my mother told me that my fathers people came from what was once Cilicia.

I made 3 good friends in the one month i was there, and the stories on how we met are too long to write but one lf them have me a ride after a left a casino and there were no taxis outside ao I started to walk down the road thinkkng ill find a taxinon the way. In less than 5 min a young guy pulled over and asked me where im going i said Yerevan he said hope in, he took me to his friends record shop, they burned music cds for me and we became friends hanging out almost everyday.

      Completely agree with you. Armenia was a buffer zone between Muslems and Byzantines at that time. Armenia was already fighting in the east and Byzantines thought the moment is right to attack them from behind and capture Ani and turn Armenians into Greeks...Well, we know what happened next...

      The Middle Ages are essentially only the middle of Armenia's path. The history of the Armenian nation and state begins many thousands of years ago. Now the capital of the Republic of Armenia is the city of Yerevan, it is more than 2,800 years old, it is 29 years older than Rome. And we are waiting with love and warmth for any person who comes to us.

    I have been collecting Cilician Silver and bronze coins, many of them I acquired from reputable sellers on ebay which I have authenticated. Its fascinating to hold a coin that was used by the people of the last Armenian kingdom. One of my most interesting coins on an overstrike coin which was part of the annual payment of hundreds of thousands of silver coins paid to the Mamluks after losing a war. Its an Armenian coin that was heated and overstruck with Arabic writing because it was easier and cheaper then melting and making new blanks. If this coin could talk the stories it would tell, I can imagine it on a horse and carriage making its way south to the Mamluk Arabs to pay their tribute.

      Saint Joseph Yes it did. The islamified turkic people that fought the once great abassid caliphate either migrated trought the muslim regions and served as either mercenaries or autonomosly invaded and settled anatolia , after manziquert it got real serious. They would either force the local populations to flee or if they were opressed or enslaved with turkic men taking by force greek or armenian wives or put them in harems. the males children or adults were killed or Enslaved. By the times that the turks conquered western anatolia the natives had nowhere to run, that's why the turks from western turkey have só many greek/anatolian blood.

      Also, we forget the Kipchaks and the Cumans who were Christian Turks that settled in the area way before the Seljuks. You are right, Anatolian Turks are maybe 10% Turkic. Their ethnicity is closer to Kurds, Persians and Armenians.
