Suren M. Ayvazyan (4 August 1933 – 11 September 2009)〔(Biography of Suren Ayvazyan ) 〕 was an Armenian geologist and public figure. He is the author of several works on linguistics and the history of Armenia. He has drawn sharp criticism and accusations from specialists for direct falsification of history. ==Works on the history of Armenia== In 1960 Ayvazyan met with Russian Academician Boris Piotrovsky, who participated in the excavations of the ancient Urartian city of Teishebaini. Ayvazyan discussed with Piotrovsky whether the mythological ancient Armenia described by Movses Khorenatsi was real. Boris Piotrovsky said to him, "As a geologist, you know that no natural process leaves no evidence. If, as you argue, the most ancient Armenia of Movses Khorenatsi is there, please give me an archaeological site in Armenia, which confirms it."〔''Айвазян С. М.'' История России. Армянский след, «Крон-Пресс», Москва, 2000 ISBN 5-232-01223-1〕 Ayvazyan chose as an example an ancient monument of the Bronze Age, Metsamor, and to demonstrate its relationship with Armenia published a work 〔''Айвазян С. М.'' Известия Академии Наук Армянской ССР, серия Науки о Земле, XVII, 6, Ереван, 1964〕 falsely describing coins with allegedly Hayasan characters on them, ascribing them to the 19th century BC and providing his own 'translation'. (After checking in the Department of Numismatics of the Historical Museum of Armenia in 1968, he found that these coins were issued by the Atabeg dynasty of Azerbaijan in the period 1133-1225).〔''Boris Piotrovsky'' Письмо в редакцию // Историко-филологический журнал, Ереван, № 3, 1971〕 In the same article, Ayvazyan described the ''Hayasian inscription'', found on the rocks of Metsamor, which, after inspection conducted in 1968 by Professor V. Krachkovsky, were thought to be symbols of the Thuluth Arabic alphabet of the 19th century.〔 This falsification, however, entered some renowned scientific journals, including the Czechoslovak ''New Orient'' (Article: Mkrtchian B. "The Mystery of Metsamor"No. 3, VI, 1967) and the magazine Anatolian Studies(Volume XVIII, 1968), as well as in a popular publication of Armenia: the newspaper Komsomolets, dated 15 November 1968 and in the magazine Garun No. 1, 1969). In these publications Ayvazyan argues: Thus Ayvazyan created one of the theories of Urartu Armenian origins, supporting which, in addition to the above "evidence" of material culture, carried out in 1963, there exists the translation Urartian cuneiform monuments, ostensibly with the ancient language. Boris Piotrovsky noted that, in carrying out this work, Ayvazyan did not know that he was repeating work done by A. Mordtman who, in the middle of the 19th century, tried to translate 'in Armenian' all Mesopotamian cuneiform monuments 〔''Mordtmann A.D.'' Über die Keilinschriften von Armenien // Zeitschrift der Deutschen Morgenländischen Gesellschaft, Leipzig, XXXI, 1877〕 — труд, давно отвергнутый наукой〔 - work that has long ago been rejected by science.〔''Boris Piotrovsky'' Письмо в редакцию // Историко-филологический журнал, Ереван, № 3, 1971.〕 Despite the discovery of falsification, Suren Ayvazyan continues to publish the results of his 'studies' in the popular press, for example, by including them in his book ''The history of Russia. Armenian traces'', which was published in Moscow in 1997 and 2000. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Suren Ayvazyan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
