When ancient Armenians
built Portasar about 12,000 years ago there was already some kind of level of
sophisticated organization which was surely required to accomplish such a
massive undertaken for its time period. Here I need to mention that Portasar is
the old name of what is now called Gobekle Tepe which is a direct translation
of Armenian “Portasar” which means Mountain Navel. Ex. Big Hayq; Armenian Kingdom of Kilikia;
Urfa(Urha), Last name was Edesia province. The temple was built over 9-11000 years ago, but turkish ethnic groups appeared in Armenian Highlands in 11th century.
When the Treaty of Lausanne was signed in 1923, the Republic
of Turkey was established. In its attempts to shroud the Armenian heritage of
Turkey, the authorities of the republic began a systematic campaign to alter
Armenian placenames. These attempts included the name change of the
geographical expression “Armenian plateau” to “Eastern Anatolia.“
Turkey presents Armenian Portasar to the world as a
Turkish Stonehenge.
Portasar is a great ritualistic-religious-scientific
building, which is situated in the Western Armenia and has 18,500-years-old
history. Vachagan Vahradyan, candidate of biological sciences, adviser and
chief scientist to the Armenian scientific party of Oxford University’s ‘Stones
and Stars’ project, said that the Turks ascribe the establishment of Portasar
to themselves. According to Carl Schmidt, in the Armenian highland the haven
was divided into constellations even 12-18 thousand years ago.
Vachagan Vahradyan says the Portasar was built in the eon
of Scorpion. Griffon was painted on the huge building. This one and other
resemblances come to prove that Portasar has a lot in common with Karahunj; the
builders belonged to the same culture.
The scientist says the existence of such a monument
creates basis for casting doubt on the opinion about the knowledge of the old
civilization. Turkey organizes a number of exhibitions, representing the
monument as a Turkish one before the world.
Portasar or Gobekli Tepe?
When ancient Armenians built Portasar about 12,000 years
ago there was already some kind of level of sophisticated organization which
was surely required to accomplish such a massive undertaken for its time
period.
Portasar is situated in the South of the Armenian
Highlands, 15 km south-east from the old city Urha/Edessa, Urfa/ of Armenian
Mesopatamia. The discovery of the cultural layers/three layers/ of Portasar
shows that it was a religious-ritual centre for sedentary people for several
millenniums. The territory is in Armenian cultural area.
Armenian is one of the oldest languages of the
region/Armenian Highlands and surrounding areas, Small Asia/which, according to
the recent studies, was a spoken language 8000-9000 years ago. The name
Portasar given to the monument means the centre of the Earth and life, navel,
mountain. By the way, Portasar was named by people who knew it was a
religious-ritual monument. They knew that life existed not only on the Earth,
but also in Heaven, they worshiped Anggh/Angel/ as the God who connected these
two worlds. And stone pillars/cross statues, stone obelisks, stone icons and
later also xachqars/ existed in Armenia all the times. This about 12 thousand
year-old monument, discovered in Armenian Mesopotamia, is the archeological
proof which, along with comparative linguistics allows to say that Armenia is
the cradle of modern civilization.
When the Treaty of Lausanne was signed in 1923, the
Republic of Turkey was established. In its attempts to shroud the Armenian
heritage of Turkey, the authorities of the republic began a systematic campaign
to alter Armenian placenames. These attempts included the name change of the
geographical expression “Armenian plateau” to “Eastern Anatolia.”
It’s worth to mention an interesting testimony preserved
in Armenian historiography. Pavstos Buzand/V century/, telling about the deeds
of the Armenian King Pap/353-374/, writes that he sent a delegation to the
Greek king saying. “Cesaria and also ten other cities belonged to us. Give them
back. Urha was founded by our ancestors, so if you don’t want disagreement
between us, give them back. Otherwise we will wage a war.” (Pavstos Buzand,
Armenian History, Yerevan, 1968, page 27, chapter ԼԲ). As it was mentioned
above the monument could be named Portasar only by Hay-Armens, who were inhabitants
of the region and knew about the religious-ritual nature of it. And the Turks,
who appeared in those areas only 8-9 centuries ago, could not know that the
mountain was a cultural monument.
So this is enough to conclude that it were Hay-Armens,
the ancient inhabitants of the area who gave the name Portasar to the monument.
Later, as in most other cases the Turks have simply translated the name and now
are trying to introduce the monument to the world with the name Gobekli Tepe.
We should note that there are a lot of placenames in Armenia which point the
sense and purport of the words like Portasar /Gandzasar-gandz+sar(treasure
mountain), Ukhtasar-ukht+sar( Mountain of Covenant), Yerkatasar-yerkat+sar(Iron
Mountain). The same is in the case of Portasar.
The assemblage was built some 11,600 years ago dated 10th
millennium BC, seven millennia before the Great Pyramid of Giza. It contains
the oldest known temple. Indeed, Portasar (Göbekli Tepe) is the oldest known
example of monumental architecture—the first structure human beings put
together that was bigger and more complicated than a hut. When these pillars
were erected, so far as we know, nothing of comparable scale existed in the
world.
Portasar is
located in Western Armenia, in the historic Armenian
The first mentioning of Armenians in the region of Urha,
was first mentioned in the epic of Naram Sin, where Naram Sin the Akkadian
tyrant went to war against the neighboring Armeni tribes in2254–2218 BCE, whose
King Armanum (Aram) had a powerful kingdom in the current day region of
South-Eastern Turkey, and Northern Syria, with its heart in the city of Ebla.
The Armenians regard Urha as a holy city, because it is
believed that Mesrop Mashtots revived the Ancient Armenian alphabet in this
city.
This region has always had an historic Armenian presence,
and since the times of historical documentation, whether it be on tablets or
scrolls, the Armenians have been recorded more so in this region than any other
known ethnic group since the beginning of historical documentation. At the
beginning of the 20th century, the Armenians were still the majority as a
single ethnic group in the city of Urha. It was only during the genocide, where
local Turkish, and Kurdish muslim’s drove out the Armenian populace, and sought
out to destroy them. The formation of Neolithic tribes in the Armenian
Highland, gave birth to these advanced peoples who had strong national
identity, and would later form the Proto-Armenian Kingdoms of the Armenian
Highland, being Mitanni, and Ararat (Urartu) in particular.
So Portasar is the oldest name of the monument and truly
demonstrates the sense, purport and meaning of this ancient monument of the
Armenian Highlands.
Portasar has a direct connection with Karahunj, see
