Let’s start our acquaintance with Biblical Land Armenia. The information about the origin and the history of the country is taken either from the local or from foreign sources, such as Sumerian, Greek, Hittite, Persian inscriptions, and historians. The Sumerian sources inform us about Aratta (from Ararat) country 28th-22th centuries B.C.. That was a theocratic country similar to Egypt and Sumer. The main god-protector of Aratta was Hayk, the son of god creator Haya who created the human beings from clay. Armenians have been called their country the Land of Hayk for almost 5000 years.
