Khor Virap - in the FIRST Christian country in the world! EP15

I took a day tour in Armenia because my stay was quite short. Together with my small group I've visited some of the world's oldest churches and monasteries located in the extremely beautiful mountain setting: Khor Virap and Novarank. We also tried the famous Jermuk spring (the taste is unforgettable!)
Interesting facts: Armenia has a intriguing history - being the first country officially adopted christianity and built the first church in the world. Yerevan is one of the oldest cities in the world (29 years older than Rome).

Wow Armenia is beautiful I had no idea! I found your channel a couple of weeks ago and am watching them from the first episode on. It's so interesting I don't stop to leave comments but go staight on to the next one. Can't wait to see the next one. I have lived in three countries but never been to that part of the world. Now in my older years I'm pleased to travel via utube, greetings from Australia.

[@Thombomb818]

Thank you again, Yan! I live in the US and have Armenian relatives. So cool to see where my ancestors may have lived. I really appreciate your hard work.

I had never seen a video of Armenia, so I have learned a lot today. Yan, there are some other very beautiful Christian churches around the world, you will love them too when you see them. Happy travels!

[@jonathanlee5185]

👍Thanks, Yen, you are very unassuming and your humility has a winning way both with the local people here and with your KZbin audience 👍

[@Mpo65]

Thank you Yan for visiting and enjoying Armenia. Yan you probably know by now that every Armenian last name ends with your beautiful name Yan, and sometimes spells with “ian” my last name is Pogosyan. Thanks for your videos, and happy travels to you my dear!

[@ron9465]

I must buy a drone for my next trip in China especially for Dali and eventually Tibet. The scenery from the drone is very impressive. Another great video. What is the make of your drone?

[@fernbedek6302]

I also don’t know how to drive, so it’s nice to see how many places one can get without driving.

[@apekool3]

Very impressive those mountains. Lovely churches where religion is the focus.

[@tatopiano]

Thank you for visiting our country! ♥

[@cleeyy.office8851]

Beautiful place. Thanks for bringing us along.

[@KeithCarmichaelInFL]

Before I watched this, I didn't really have any interest in going to Armenia. Nothing has changed, but at least now I know what I am missing! I really enjoy your videos and hope to catch up to your current video soon!

[@Mpo65]

Keith you should really consider a visit to Armenia. The culture and thousands of years of history is amazing. Visit to Armenia is very affordable and safe and if you are a foodie you’ll be in heaven with so many amazing high quality restaurants with delicious foods and great service that don’t cost you an arm and a leg. And also do watch other visitors videos like Yan’s to make your up your mind, it helps to get ideas. Good and happy travels to you Keith! 😊

[@KeithCarmichaelInFL]

@@Mpo65 Thank you for the invitation! I am interested in travel, but I am tied to responsibilities that keep me from doing so. When I am free, I am leaving the USA permanently and perhaps then I will finally get to come sample some local delicacies! I have many places that I have always wanted to visit. If I am fortunate I will have time to see all the places that haven't made my list but are still worth exploring!

[@elaineayres1989]

I didn’t realise that Armenia was the first country to declare itself Christian. Seeing Mount Ararat was awesome and I can understand why it means so much spiritually. Thank you (an Australian

[@elisegeum1514]

So interesting

[@freedloh9049]

You got the big drone!

[@freedloh9049]

@Christy Li what kind of English is that?

[@manchu-qu9mw]

Thanks for the video. Went Turkey years back and saw Mt Ararat but as wondering the how it looks from the Armenia side. I love all nationality but saddened by the conflict in the Caucasian region between Azerbaijan and Armenia. Can't the world live in peace. Geo-politic is insanely cruel.

[@silvetudose1698]

Nice video. Can you tell the name of the songs that you used in this video? Thanks

All these countries in this area of the world are so interesting. Only problem seems to be that they don't like each other. 😞

[@freedloh9049]

How much was the tour? And how many hours

[@predrag-peterilich900]

Heard a recent "Radio Yerevan" joke?

[@joellapaz6724]

from what country is your lady companion (in denim jacket)?

[@littlechineseeverywhere]

Indonesia

[@user-yp2mw2ko9k]

0:15 In 301 A.C., to be correct

[@ramon1157]

How did you know so much?

[@quantum9571]

Because she has a curious mind and knows how to respect different culture

[@gr8bkset-524]

She studied geography and tourism. This is good application of her training and I think she can someday become a tour guide.

[@THE.Mr.Potato]

heh, I bet not many people know that Armenia was the first Christian nation in the world.

[@vigensourourian5997]

[@oilenglai4128]

MT ARARAT IS SUPPOSEDLY WHERE NOAH'S ARK CAME TO REST DUTING THE GREAT BIBLICAL FLOOD

[@zaffvideos5688]

That is incorrect with no historical facts Cappadocia was the first settlement sub sequentially 300AD East Roman emperor help with his mother Hellen has declared first.

[@nikokandarelashvili911]

First christian country is ethiopia !

[@Urartaci]

In Ethiopia Armenian Apostolic Church. 😂 Armenia not catholic.

[@shoiku4734]

Taste the "iron", that would be the rusted pipe. 😄 From your grimace, it obviously tastes bad. Interesting video. But I won't pay to travel to see the monastery.

[@shoiku4734]

@@littlechineseeverywhere Hmm... I didn't taste the hot spring water in Japan's onsens (I should have but other people soaked in it before... ^_^; ) so I don't know if hot spring water taste odd. Well, you weren't able to go up to the 2nd floor, only walked around the small ruins. And there was nothing else interesting there. So, paying the van to go all the way there isn't worth it.

[@shoiku4734]

@@littlechineseeverywhere Yes, gross. 🥴That's why I didn't even think of doing it.

[@juliemcmurtrie2713]

The catholic religion calls itself christian, but it's not true christian. Why ? Because the christian religion does not have mother God. Christian religions have Father God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit 🙏❤️ and the true meaning of the cross is about Jesus being crucified on a cross, but then he rose from death. He became the sacrificial lamb for all the people who chose to believe in him 🙏❤️ those who believe go to heaven when Jesus returns for us 😊🙏💗
