Karahunge – ‘Speaking Stones’ With Secrets – Remarkable Prehistoric Structures Of Armenia
A. Sutherland - AncientPages.com - Among many unsolved mysteries surrounding remarkable prehistoric structures of Armenia, there is a megalithic site of Karahunge or Carahunge ("Karahundj") covered with hundreds of vertical 1 - 2.8 m high megaliths of greatly varying form.
Not many people have heard of this ancient, obscure, and mysterious Armenian place.
The stone structures are scattered across the plain area at a height of nearly 1,750 meters above sea level. They are situated near the town of Sisian in the Syunik Province and about 200 km (124 mi) southeast of Yerevan, the capital of Armenia.
This ancient place called "Speaking Stones" or "Stones with Voice" has been abandoned and ignored for centuries.
It is an area of approximately 70,000 square meters covered with hundreds of vertically standing basalt stones. According to a recent scientific estimation based on ancient observations of definite stars, it has been estimated that the observatory was used during 7700-2200 B.C. for about 5500 years.
