Stars & Stones: CNN International Explores the Mystery of Armenia's Stonehenge
A stone circle located high in the highlands of Southern Armenia may in fact be the oldest stone observatory in the world, predating England's Stonehenge. According to newly started excavations, the Armenian Stonehenge (Karahunj, Qarahunge, Zorats Qarer) has a history of 7500 years. It's discovery has sparked a scientific debate in astronomical and astrological circles. Yerkir Media's Gayane Avetisyan reports on the story for CNN World View.
