Metsamor site

Standing stones at the ruins of the Metsamor site

Metsamor site is the remains of an old fortress located to the southwest of the Armenian village of Taronik, in the Armavir Province.

While it used to be believed the city of Metsamor was destroyed by the Urartians during the Iron Age[1] researchers now believe it was destroyed by Scythian or Cimmerian nomads.[2]
