Yerevan Is Older Than Rome #funfact

I love old kingdoms and shit, everything was in little parts and castles and shit, history fucking rules

Whoaa so cool!!!

why's there so many dislikes?

Evidence of human habitation suggests that humans have inhabited the area around rome for at least 10,000 years, as opposed to the roughly 5-6,000 years of habitation for the area around Yerevan. Also, the dating for Rome's construction is mythical, so it cannot be presented as a fact

Oh no, now the americans know there is life outside the US

Please more fun facts about Armenia🎉

Saying Yerevan is 29 years older than Rome is slightly deceiving because we don't know with 100% certainty when Rome was founded. The date of April 21st 753BC was the result of guesswork by an author called Varro. But I digress, Yerevan is clearly old asf

Not as old as Vinkovci

Fun, fun, fun! You are a legend. I love your posts. ❤❤❤

I totally expected this cities location to be in the fertile Crescent, but no... it's in Armenia of all places.

I'm not a van

Damn we had waterpipe that time

There are many places older than Rome

The most interesting thing i learned today: There are stone pipes?? 🤯
How do you interlock them and make sure they don't leak??

You've thanked the viewers for making this sort of travel possible; let me thank you for making it meaningful to us to see the places you go. We're approaching a fully-realized Doug Sharpe, and you're putting good things into the world!

I'M SUBSCRIBING ! I've liked lots of his videos, I've seen quite a few. This is the BEST one! I will be honest I only fact checked half. However I hope he continues to make it as detailed as this one! I love ancient history.

Thank you spikey haired mustache man for this fun fact.

Armenia can't catch a break and just look more lqmd recently.

WHEN DID YOU VISIT??? I LITERALLY LIVE TIGHT NEXT TO EREBUNI FORTRESS

Lost me at "BCE"

Bruh why you say BCE just say BC

It’s not actually 🤓 true. Armenian historians are trying to make the history of Yerevan older

Such a great and informative channel, love to see you traveling

If there's no information extant on Iubsha, it may have been a cult where worshipers were secretly inducted and information about the god was passed along orally.

I bet Ibusha was the god of being above average.

ABREES Doug. Abrees.

Wait, why does Haldi god murals looks like the Sumerian onces?

"And was buit by Argishiti..."
"The first, right?"
"...Argishiti ONE"

Goddamn dude imagine being a Roman Legionnaire occupying a fort that’s already ancient to you

Hate to be that guy, but Rome—or, at least the area that is currently Rome—has been continuously inhabited by humans since before 1000 BC. Temple in similar style to Mycenean Greece and pottery shards date to longe before the traditional founding date of Rome. Whoever inhabited the plains of the Campus Marius or Rome’s famed hills weren’t exactly Romans, but they were their predecessors. Rome’s history stretches far past (and far forward) what people traditionally think about

temple of susi...? susi baka

Doug practically a reporter these days

Also known as "The fortress of Blood"

Damn ... a lost god? Sheesh makes you wonder how many more have been lost

I've been reading Armenian history lately, it's a very sad history, theyve suffered a lot, and we're invaded by pretty much everyone around them at least once

Harappa is the oldest city. 3000BC

Love this content, had NO idea about this place

Armenia!!!!!

So cool!

Great video!!

And currenty Armenia is being ravaged by "freedome, democracy and the wonders of free marker"

My man did NOT just call a king "Argishiti ONE" 😂😂😂 It's "THE FIRST" my brother!

Temple of sissy 💀💀💀

This might be my favorite fun fact yet!

Yerevan also allows you to choose your Apostles’ promotions, making it an invaluable city-state for religious victory

Fuck that's cool man. I'm dying to visit and explore a place just like that. Even cooler when you know zero info

I love this guy. Thanks

You dont go to Armenia and use BCE smh

Nazi simps in the comments

This is wrong. Armenians are a type of Anatolian gypies that stole Urartian history. They have nothing to do with it.
