The Armenian Tribes

[HyeJinx1984]

I was wondering if anyone knows where I can get information on the ancient Armenian tribes? I tried Yahoo and Google but it seems typing in the word 'Armenian' almost always just brings you info on the Genocide... which is fine, but annoying when you wanna learn about something ELSE. Anyway... any books or such you guys suggest? Most interested in learning about the ancient Armenian cultures, languages, names of the tribes, the regions they were in, etc... any info I can get on the tribes would be great.

I see you've been visiting Armenianteens.com. And Tribes were all from Armenia, this is before Diaspora. And yes, I'm very good at taking jokes and sucking the fun out of them ;) neener, neener, neener.

[Thai-Samurai]

that list of stereotypes was teh worst ive ever seen i didnt fit a single sentence on it

[HyeJinx1984]

Well this thread came back out of no where.... and still, no info on the tribes themselves, lol.

[Thai-Samurai]

oh wait
i do have an ararat picture in my room, but my dad painted it.

[Thai-Samurai]

for info on armenians go to a college library or the Armenian dept at a college UCLA probably has a nice one. I'm in Fresno and we got one.

[dstyle]

UCLA should have the best. There Armenian Dept. is amazing. Plus they have pre genocide Armenian cities and towns, and they hold lectures monthly. Amazing stuff.

[Hayq]

Can you guys give me a link on when they host these events?

HyeJinx1984,
Try this http://www.geocities.com/armenism.
May be that's what you was looking for.

[HyeJinx1984]

ho-le-sh*t that's a lot of pages...

[ravinger]

Yeah,
Because it's a book. That surprise you?

[Inna]

- if your beamer's liscense plate says Davo em apeh


just curious..what does "davo em apeh" mean? cause I nicknamed my brother Davo but I never knew it was a word in Armenian.

[HyeJinx1984]

Don't get hissy with me. In either case, I can't read it.. atleast not at this point, although I am currently inrolled in an Armenian reading/writing class, and according to the teacher I'm picking it up faster than anyone he's ever seen. In two months time I could probably read all that.

[SagGal]

Try going to search.com (http://www.search.com). It can be better than yahoo and google.

Here's a site I found from it by typing in "Armenian tribes. http://www.un.int/armenia/arm/en_history.html
When I typed in "Armenian tirbes" in google, your thread popped up. :laugh:

[HyeJinx1984]

Odd. And yes that website was the very first site I read when I started my whole "Learning about my ancestry" quest.
