[edit] Comment
We need to get more information on Nairi, because it is very disappointing to see a lack of Armenian history on wikipedia, which is used as an encyclopedia by many people. Here they can see the golden ages of Armenian culture, its height, and its influence on the Middle East.
A good place to get credible and factual information on Armenian peoples, is ArmenianHighland, a website by Gevork Nazaryan, [1] it is an encyclopedia of Armenian History and provides many pictures and Illustrations.
And what is the good reason dab? You are neither a qualified historian nor an Armenologist.--Moosh88 18:43, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Two recurrant problems
First, Naharin and Nairi are not the same place, despite that identification. If you want to make that kind of claim, you are going to have to find a mainstream Egyptologist who argues for it, and even then note that most Egyptologists would restrict the range of Naharin to the Mitannian kingdom, and would not put it far enough east to overlap with the later mountanous tribes. Second, what kind of historical value can an ancient author have when he writes about things happening 15 centuries earlier? None, of course. We don't use primary sources for this reason. What do authors have to say about this text, why do they say it, and are their views accepted? Wikipedia could discuss that, but it cannot have primary sources thrown into a page as evidence. Wikipedia does not work that way. Thanatosimii 22:44, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
