After conquering some of world's most renowned stages, it was time for Gevorkian Dance Academy to return to its roots - to celebrate the 50th Birthday and the 30th Career Anniversary of Vartan Gevorkian. One hundred dancers from 5 to 30 years old, born and raised in the Unite States, along with others that began their lives in other countries, traveled across the globe to honor their teacher and mentor in this celebration. The concert took place at the Aram Khachatryan Concert Hall. A sold-out audience was blown away by the level of professionalism and maturity the dancers performed with. It was unimaginable yet evident that everyone was witnessing a generation, growing up thousands of miles alway from their motherland, yet just as connected to the land, the language, and the art as any. The film will take you alongside the dancers through the 2-week tour organized by the National Dance Association of Armenia. It will offer you a chance to relieve as a viewer the unbelievable trip packed with visits to national historical sites, fun road trips and parties, elegant dinner events, visits to churches and our most memorable monuments and museums. Some argue that the highlight of the video is the honorable opening number performed by select members of the Academy at the Pan Armenian Festival.

Noravank (meaning new monastery) is a 13th century monastery, located 122 km from Yerevan in a narrow gorge made by the Darichay river, nearby the city of Yeghegnadzor, Armenia. The gorge is known for its tall, sheer, brick-red cliffs, directly across from the monastery.The monastic complex includes the church of S. Karapet, S. Grigor chapel with a vaulted hall, and the church of S. Astvatsatsin (Holy Mother of God). Ruins of various civil buildings and khachkars are found both inside and outside of the compound walls. Noravank was the residence of the Orbelian princes.
The Monastery of Tatev is a 9th century Armenian monastery located in the Tatev village in Syunik Province in southern Armenia, not far from city of Goris and 280km away from Yerevan. It stands on a plateau on the edge of the deep gorge of the Vorotan River. It became the bishopric seat of Syunik and played a significant role in the history of the region as a centre for economic, political, spiritual and cultural activity.
Garni is a temple complex located in the Kotayk Province of Armenia, situated approximately 32 km southeast from Yerevan.The first traces of human occupation date back to the 3rd millennium BC and are concentrated in an easily defensible terrain at one of the bends of the Azat river. In the 8th century BC the area was conquered by the Urartian king Argishti I. The first literary testimony to the existence of a fortress on the spur crowning the site of Garni comes from the Roman historian Tacitus and dates from the middle of the 1st century AD.
Carahunge or Karahundj, Zorakarer is 3, 500 years older than England's Stonehenge and 3, 000 years older than the Egyptian pyramids. The total area of the observatory is 7 hectares. According to the scientist's findings, a temple consisting of 40 stones built in honor of the Armenians' main God, Ari, meaning the Sun, is situated in the central part of Carahunge. Besides the temple, it had a large and developed observatory, and also a university that makes up the temple's wings.
Geghard is another incredible ancient Armenian monastery, partly carved out of a mountain. Though the monastery has been around since before the 4th century, the main cathedral was built in 1215. The monastery is located literally at the end of the road. From here you walk up a path which has a few vendors of souvenirs and snacks. (try the sweet sujukh, sweet lavash and gata if you have never tasted them before). You then reach the entrance to the compound which is surrounded by high walls on three sides and the mountain on the fourth. Inside, you can enter the churches which are interconnected.
An architectural monument, XVII century., The monastery -- the fortress, situated on a hill near the village of Vedi, Ararat region Pokr. In the old days there was a historical city of Artashat, one of the ancient capitals of Armenia. Instead of the now defunct fortress-monastery, there was a royal prison.
The Church of S.Astvatsatsin (Mother of God) and the smaller Church of S.Arakelots (Holy Apostles, later S.Karapet) are both located on a peninsula which was once an island in Lake Sevan (approx. coord. 40-35/ 45-00). According to an inscription on the south wall of the Church of S.Arakelots, the monastery was founded in 874 AD and it is attributed to Princess Mariam, the wife of Prince Vasak of Kapur and the daughter of the Bagratuni King Asot. For several centuries thereafter it remained an important spiritual center and was a pilgrimage site for thousands of visitors from all parts of Armenia.
About 4 km east of Agit, on a hill the monastery of Vorotnavanq is located, which was partially rebuilt at the end of the XX century. The most ancient structure of the complex, St. Stepanos church dates back to 1000 year. In 1007 to the south-east of it St. Karapet church was built, which was severely damaged by the earthquake in 1931. Until recently, it was semi-decidable, presenting a striking example of the genius of Armenian architects.

Vahagn Vishapakagh (Vahagn the Dragon Reaper) or Vahakn (Armenian: Վահագն) was a god of fire and war in pre-Christian ancient historically Armenia.
THE BIRTH OF VAHAGN
From the History of Armenia,
by
MOSES OF KHORENE
(Fifth Century)
Historian Khorenatsi's report of an ancient song gives a clue to his nature and origin:
Heaven and earth were in travail,
And the crimson waters were in travail.
And in the water, the crimson reed
Was also in travail.
From the mouth of the reed issued smoke,
From the mouth of the reed issued flame.
And out of the flame sprang the young child.
His hair was of fire, a beard had he of flame,
And his eyes were suns.
Երկնէր երկին, երկնէր երկիր,
Երկնէր և ծովն ծիրանի.
Երկն ի ծովուն ունէր և զկարմրիկն եղեգնիկ.
Ընդ եղեգան փող ծուխ ելանէր,
Ընդ եղեգան փող բոց ելանէր,
Եւ ի բոցոյն վազէր խարտեաշ պատանեկիկ.
Նա հուր հեր ունէր,
Բոց ունէր մօրուս,
Եւ աչքունքն էին արեգակունք:
Other parts of the song, now lost, said that Vahagn fought and conquered dragons, hence his title Vishabakagh, dragon reaper, where dragons in Armenian lore are identified as Vishaps. He was also a sun-god.
NEMRUT
Armenia during the reign of Tigranes the Great, 1st c. BC.
Nemrut is one of the oldest continuously settled regions on Earth. It was inhabited by Armenians from times immemorial. And in the 1st century BC during the rule of Tigranes the Great, the region was part of the Armenian kingdom.
Moreover, the 1st century BC king of Commagene Antiochus I Theos, who was a member of the Armenian royal family himself, immortalized several large statues of deities including the statue of Vahagn, recorded with his Greek variant ‘Artagnes’ which is the Hellenistic form of the Avestan ‘Verethragna’ and the Armenian ‘Vahagn’, at the famous mount Nemrut.
Thus, it is safe to say that the deity Vahagn was no stranger to the region or the period in which the sculpture was created. Perhaps most recently the region was part of the last Armenian kingdom of Cillicia during the late High Middle Ages. It held a large Armenian population up until the Armenian Genocide of 1915.
PORTASAR
Turkey continues to distort history and appropriate the Armenian historical and cultural heritage. As the chief scientific adviser of the expedition of the Oxford University’s program “Stones and Stars” and Candidate of Biological Sciences Vachagan Vagradyan stated at a press conference in Yerevan, Turkey presents the temple complex Portasar located in Western Armenia.
“According to studies, the Portasar temple complex is more than 18 thousand years old. It is one of the largest and oldest ritual-religious complexes in the world. Its construction testifies to the high level of development of the Armenian people and their ancestors,” Vagradyan said.
The temple complex of Armenian Portasar (Turkish: Göbekli-Töp) is located on the highest point of a mountain ridge 15 km to the north-east of the ancient city of Edessa in the province of Shanlıurfa (historical Western Armenia) in the southeast of Turkey.
It is one of the oldest and largest megalithic structures in the world. The fact that the hill was man-made was known to archaeologists in the last century (in the 60’s).
It is not only the oldest religious but the largest known megalithic structure as well. Its age is more than 12 thousand years, the monument is 7 thousand years older than the famous Stonehenge located in England. Besides, it was built 5 and a half thousand years earlier than the first cities of Mesopotamia known to us from history textbooks.
Portasar is comprised of ideally circled structures lined with rectangular boulders, which hold dozens of giant T-shaped limestone columns. Those columns weigh up to 50 tons and reach 5 meters in height.
The floors in the buildings are made of limestone. The T-shaped columns are decorated with elaborate carvings. They depict foxes, snakes, wild boars, cranes, lions, kites, and other birds and animals.
One of the most striking sculptures is a lion descending down the column.
