- AMAZING ARMENIA; Gerard, Garni, And The Symphony Of The Stones
Join me on my first day of traveling through Armenia to some of the most magnificent places I have ever visited.
Our first destination is Gerard, where we visit an amazing Church carved into a cave during the 4th century.
Then we proceed to Garni, a thousand-year-old Greco-Roman Temple, where the Pagan Armenians would hold strange rituals and human sacrifices.
The next stop is the Symphony of the Stones, a breathtaking place where the natural beauty leaves you speechless.
We meet some locals, that immediately take the chance to demonstrate the fantastic Armenian hospitality and end this journey with an Armenian feast fit for a king.
If you enjoy adventure videos from the former Soviet Union and Central & Eastern Europe, then grab your vodka, some zakuski and join me as we visit the amazing country of Armenia and explore the sights of Gerard, Garni, and the Symphony of the Stones.

Bravo... I could not have expressed it any better👍👌🙏
Հրուշակեղենի, որ համտեսեցիք հայերեն կոչվում է քաղցր շարոց(qahcr charoc, кахцр шароц) սուջուխը կարծեմ թուրքերեն է։
Հայերեն գերազանց արտասանություն ունեք։
Ջորջ Բայրոնը հայերեն շատ է սիրել, եթե չեմ սխալվում աստվածային լեզու է համարել։ Եղել է Վենետիկի Մխիթարյան միաբանությունում և հայերեն սովորել ու ուսումնասիրել։
WELCOM TO ARMENIA🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Merci beaucoup au nom de tous les Arméniens, (j'ai un rêve visiter France) 😊😊😊
Georgia and Armenia seem like they would be good trips. The Caucasus without the religious extremism!

Только в Армении можно так хорошо кайфонуть 👌
Сам был и подтверждаю .
Спасибо за интересный обзор по Армении.
Ջասթին ինձ դուր է գասիս, որ մեր` հայերիս նման մադամոտ եք ու բոլոր հանդիպած մարդկանց ձեռքերը սեղմեցիք։ Բոլորս Արարատի ստորոտից ենք` Նոյ նահապետի հետնորդներն ենք։
ARARAT and ARMENIA are FOREVER!
You know Armenia and armenians keep up the rule "Treat people as you'd like to be treated by them" We love good people and you're absolutely and undoubtedly one of them, Justin. You are a kind- hearted, bright and intelligent personality,so highly appreciated in our country. Hope you'll enjoy your trip and will take the maximum from Armenia. Armenia 's a bit underrated, and you're doing a great job showing it to the world. Thanks a lot!!!❤
Justin knows where all the hidden gems can be found and tasted! 🎉
👍👌🤣
Gorgeous place and people...the food looked amazing bro! Funny fact one of the islands around venezia is an Armenian priest monastery.
Use to be one of the biggest collection of Armenian books ...when Armenian was under russia.
History is fascinating, especially when it spills over into other cultures and geographies 👌👍
@@J.E.E absolutely 💯 cheese mate
@eltenda Hi! The mention of your comment is very fascinating to me, Ty. Yes, the island off Venice is called "The island of San Lazzaro degli Armeni," & is just a few hundred meters from Lido di Venezia where the historic Armenian Monastery is founded. The whole of the Island is Armenian & is still in operation today. I know that there are some, organised day tours to the island also & I've been to Venice, but never managed to visit this site. I would love to visit the island with a group of friends & pay for lodging to be able to spend a few nights there. Wishful thinking? But I'm Armenian & have researched this & know of who to contact for details, so✌! It would be a wonderful trip of adventure, sight seeing, knowledge & hopefully some night time group camp-fires. I would also gladly love to experience any paranormal spooky haunts, which is expected in such historic places?! It would be so thrilling! 👻😉 ps: I'm intuitive to these senses & have had some experiences, but never in such places. haha
Love that you included Armenian music! Enjoy breathtaking Armenia and hospitality and warmth of the people!🇦🇲
Спасибо большое Джастин что так красиво показал мою Родину,когда будешь у нас ? В нашей Армении 😊
Спасибо, Джастин. Никто так не показывал Армению, как Вы. Real ambassador of Armenia
Спасибо большое за ваш комментарий! Я очень рад, что мои видео о Армении вам понравились. Я стараюсь передать всю красоту и уникальность этой замечательной страны. Буду продолжать делиться еще больше видео о Армении в будущем. Спасибо за вашу поддержку!
Greetings from Canada. thank you Justin for the amazing video from my motherland Armenia we are always happy to see good-hearted people like you. God bless you my friend visit Armenia more often and surprise us with more beautiful videos like this one. Thank you from the bottom of my heart
Lovely thoughts - I thought this was a great video!
Armenian food is very delicious! It is cooked with love!
Gyumri is the best and most silent place
Go to my city and enjoy
Love this guy, such an amazing and positive human...seems like he felt to be at Home in Armenia, which is a good sign! Sirumem Kez Hayastan ashxar!!!
armenia love you
L'Arménie semble être un très beau pays 😯
La confection du lavash est impressionnante !
Le temple greco-romain est superbe !
Merci de nous faire découvrir tout cela !
Have a nice day !
Best wishes
C'est un pays magnifique. J'ai vraiment adoré ce voyage!!!
C'est un pain très simple mais très délicieux.
Merci a vous🙏
Это армянский храм а не грекоримский
Почему вы утверждаете, что оно не греко-римское ? Xрам был построен в I веке, имеет ионийскую архитектуру и имеет римские бани.
@@victorploux потому что это армянский языческий храм, до христианства их было много, когда приняли христианство из стали разрушать на их фундаментах строить христианские церкви .
What an amazing trip! Enjoy Fabulous Armenia, Justin.
What an amazing day!
Thank you so much!! Beautiful country !!
Armenia looks amazing! So many places to visit and amazing people.
Armenia where the lands speaks to the sky’s. I’m there every summer and chose not to go anywhere else but Armenia. Thanks for the video!!!🙏
nice bro keep it up show us more soon and we need to see the nice girls from armenia 😉😍
Beautiful site seeing tour. Congrats on reaching your 13K milestone!
It was an amazing place... That k you for the recognition and support👍👌
Justin, I really enjoyed this video and your overall content. Just subscribed! My wife & I watched your Georgia episodes yesterday and loved them as well. Will you be posting more videos from your trip to Armenia?
Hi David and I am so glad that you and your wife are enjoying the content.
Georgia was an amazing place to visit and film so I'm happy the videos worked out.
Did loads of Armenia footage currently in the editing phase so stay tuned for plenty more.
Thank you once again for the kind and supportive comment, all the best
Dear Justin, I would like to thank you for introducing our country so nice. I wish all the best in your business.
What a video,well done. Welcome to Armenia my friend.
Nice weather, clear day to see Ararat. Watching the video thousands of miles away and loving it. Have fun and enjoy Ararat brandy.
Thanks for the beautiful videos. Armenians become Christians in 301 AD. The sweet bread is called Gata.💞 🌞💞
Great video mate. Keep up the good work ⚡️
Прекрасно!!! Получила большое удовольствие!Спасибо ! Но почему то вместо прекрасной Армянской музыки звучит что то непонятное .
Звучит армянская музыка . Длеяман называется!
ЭТО АРМЯНСКАЯ МУЗЫКА И ДА ДЕЙСТВИТЕЛЬНО ЭТО ПОХОЖЕ НА ТЮРСКИЙ МОТИВ .ЭТУ МУЗЫКК ПРИЯТНО СЛУШАТЬ И СМОТРЕТЬ ПРИРОДУ АРМЯНИИ ! Я МОГУ СКАЗАТЬ, ЧТО ЕСЛИ СНИМАТЬ ШОТЛАНДИЮ И ИРЛАНДИЮ, ТО И ПОД ИХ ПРИРОДУ ПОДОШЛА БЫ .НУ Я СЧИТАЮ КАК АРМЯНИН, КАК ПОСЧИТАЮТ САМИ ИРЛАНДЦЫ И ШОТЛАНДЦЫ Я НЕ ЗНАЮ 🤷♂️
That restaurant by symphony of rocks is very good. When my family first came to Armenia in 2017, our relatives took us out to that place. It was awesome! Good fish too. 😊
Your channel is underrated. Very good. Very nice. Video is very smooth. You should have a TV show. For real.
Մենք թռչում ենք Երևան 🛫✈👍👍
👍👃👌👋😂
the second one was not a bread, sweet one, it is armenian Gata
Your are a wonderful man.
A small correction: "Գեղարդ" (geghard) doesn't translate to "monastery" but to "spear" (it's a type of spear). The monastery got its name from the legend you mention in the video․ The full name of the monastery is "Գեղարդավանք" (geghardavank), which translates as "Monastery of (the) spear". Good stuff, otherwise!)
And one more small correction: Armenia became Christian in 301 AD, not 331 😊
Great video!
amazing Justin thanks for sharing.
That food looked amazing! Hope your having the best time mate! Enjoy my friend 😊
Armenia became the first country to establish Christianity as its state religion when, in an event traditionally dated to 301 AD, St. Gregory the Illuminator convinced Tiridates III, the king of Armenia, to convert to Christianity.
wonderful video Justin - you captured the moments brilliantly. Love your content - keep going.
Thank you so much, I really appreciate the kind words!! 👍😃 👍👌
@@J.E.E you're welcome . I enjoy your content.
Your videos about Armenia are very interesting. Thank you! 😊.

Viva Arnenia❤
Молодец супер
Большое спасибо!! 👍😃
Hi Justin try Dargett beer cafe , I see you like beer so you will like it , thank you my friend for nice videos
Thank you for the recommendation my friend👌👍
IM SURE JASTIN YOU WILL LOVE IT SPECIALLY EREVAN IM WISHING U THE BEAST TIME ENJOY
12:45 I want to make a correction. We officially accepted Christianity as our State religion in 301 AD not 331 AD :) Cheers!
👍👍👍👍👍👍
😍😍😍😍😍👌👌👌👌👌👌
Geghard means spear. Its a reference to the Spear of destiny. Its a megalithic church.
Old Sofia airport terminal last year was an experience to say the least, I arrived from Eindhoven, waited 2 hours till the border guards were finished smoking in their cubicle before I got my passport stamped :)
🤣🤣🤣 that sounds very accurate 👌👍
What are you saying, Justin?! What a human sacrifices ?! To find something like that you should go back for 6-8 millenia of the Armenian history. Even during the history of Van kingdom, which was actually the reign of Aram dynasty, you wouldn't find any notion on it. Moreover during the subsequent dynasties of the Yervandids and Artashesides, when the Garni temple was erected.
Thank you for clarifying my friend👍
@@J.E.E You are welcome, dear Justin 😘
btw, there is a relation btw armenian khachqar=crossstone and keltic cross-stone, armenian Qarahunge and british Stonehenge (anglo-saxonic chtronicle)
Next time try to make a video with Elena Yerevan
🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲👍👍👍
Interesting video I enjoyed it but I have to make a little correction on your dates of Armenian Christianity is not 331 is 301
Thank you so much for pointing it out to me... I knew that and said it correctly in my video in Khor Virap.
I must have watched the video maybe 5 times before it went live but I missed that mistake👃
👍👏🏻👏🏻🇦🇲👍👏🏻👏🏻
I think u had something from Arab ( Moroccan ) كتشطح مزيان خويا تبارك الله 😂
Justin should be awarded Armenian citizenship with immediate effect 🙂
Wouldn't that be something,🤣🤣🤣
Dear Justin, why do not you go to Syunik? The real Armenia.

The feast looked great, what was the cost? The waitress looked a hottie too
🇦🇲🫶🏻☘️🥰
Kilikia was armenian kingdom
Before Armenia 🇦🇲 was Christian, most people were Zoroastrian. Freddy Mercury was a Zoroastrian.
No that’s false and misinformation Armenians we’re NOT Zoroastrian but practiced their own native faith with completely different origins.
@@antonbeats9777 Before Zoroastrian they had their own beliefs. However, not every Armenian was Zoroastrian. In those days it was either Zoroastrian or native belief
no human sacrifise that is a joke made up story to make it more interesting lol Armenia is very ancient their kingdom existed from times of babylon and shumer, their capital older than Rome and older than the pyramids ;-)
😂😂😂😂😂
Do you think that dialectal language is literary?
There is no sujukh word in Armenian, Sharots must be said.
There were no human sacrifices in pagan Armenia
I can't wait to get there. Especially that outdoor restaurant 🤓
Dear Jastin learn Armenian language,
Until 1917, the brandy "ARARAT" was called "SHUSTOV" after the Russian merchant Shustov, who invented this brandy based on local grapes.
Amazing video one thing I would recommend is a different music choice, actual Armenian folk music from komitas should be used instead of Ashugh Iranian styled music with Mugham
Great videos on Georgia and Armenia. Are you also going to visit the third Caucasian country? 🇦🇿
Azerbaijan is not Caucasian they are Iranian migrants and if you wanna see Iran just go to Iran. 😊
The music at 14.31 has nothing to do with the Armenian culture! It absolutely sucks!
Armenia pls stop stilling Georgian culture😁😁 sijuk is Turkish word and it means sausage!
Yes, you're right, but I found out that in Armenia this sweet is often called "Sweet sujuk"😀
Не суджук а суджух
first of all go learn some english
How armenians can stole smth, when in origin armenians, assiryans and iraninas , Greeks are the native people of these area
Ararat- in Turkey, Sucuk- is Turkish sausage, Churchkhela - is Georgian candy, Lavash is Azerbaijan bread, and Background songs (most)- are Azerbaijan songs. Only Konyak is related to Armenia. Anyway, welcome to the number 1 country in the world, literally in everything ;) Have a nice trip mate!
You probably believe that. There was no Azerbaijan or Turkey when those things were created.
А что это азербаджан? Словарь открой и читай слова ( лав) ()Аш) и поймёшь от каких слов произошел Армянский хлеб.
Azeri nomads can’t make lavash in tonirs)))
calm down
@@iii333ful знают они все ....... зависть не дает им покоя ...
Thanks friends, great video!🙌🍷🤝
музыка и кадры очень удачно подобраны!SUPER!!👍
Круто
Молодец
Sudjux is turkish word,the current name is Sharots.
ok for english speakers you know Geghard Mousasi the MMA fighter ?? the name of the monastery is pronounced the same way as his first name ..as for the Garni Temple its a Mithraic temple (no human sacrifices)...you remember in the movie Gladiator where Commodus tells Marcus Aurelius "I shall sacrifice a 100 bulls"..??? well that was made to Mithra or in Armenian Mihr...you can see Mithraic temples throughout all Europe (including France and Italy) and throughout the middle eastern countries formerly known as provinces of the Roman Empire ...Mihr or Mithra was a very popular diety among Roman Legioneres and the altar you were standing near was where a golden statue of Mithra or Mihr used to stand...cheerio old bean
vagan :)
I think you are armenian
