Talk:Kura–Araxes culture

message: Curiously, maps showing the area in classical times tend to show the two rivers as having two separate mouths feeding into the Caspian Sea.  Would anyone know how, or when this would have changed? Codex Sinaiticus 00:22, 26 May 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: It's probably inaccurate mapmaking, not an actual change in the rivers' course.  The Romans had a presence along the Black Sea coast, but to them the territory east of that was wild and mysterious.  They knew India was over there somewhere, but had very little concept of how far away it was.  If I remember correctly, they even thought that the Rioni river eventually wound around and became the Nile.  Yes, the Nile in Egypt.  Isomorphic 03:54, 26 May 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I am assuming that you're referring to Roman (or Greek) maps.  I would expect Persian maps of that area to be more accurate. Isomorphic 04:08, 26 May 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Question 

message: Why is there a paragraph on the earliest mention of "Armenians" in classical sources?  The Kura-Araxes culture is not, as far as I know, considered to be the same as the Armenian people.  Isomorphic (talk) 17:06, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Good idea, thanks. However, what you wrote is a figure dash (U+2012) = without spaces, and please, give a reference for the possibility to choose an n-dash withou spaces. Thank You.2A02:8108:9640:1A68:69A6:246:75C0:A981 (talk) 08:31, 20 March 2023 (UTC)
thread_title: Dashes

message: That is incorrect. The earliest radiocarbon date from Kura–Araxes cultural site of Georgia is 3654±402 B.C1  (3rd building from Amiranis Gora, Georgia.) and it has not probably been spread form Ararat plain, so that would be good if someone could correct it.

thread_title: Spread to Georgia by 3000 BC

message: I would like the Armenian name to be added too, I don't know why there is only the Georgian name. Also I don't know why is there a page with this kind of name მტკვარ-არაქსის კულტურა.--46.162.219.51 (talk) 20:28, 1 December 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  Armenian name 

message: "They raised cattle, sheep, goats, dogs, and in its later phases, horses (introduced around 3000 BCE, probably by Indo-European speaking tribes from the North).[8]" The first mentioning of horses in the referenced book refers to the Koban-Culture only, NOT to the K-A-C. And the relation to the "Indo-European speaking tribes from the North" seem to be freely added by the writer of this wiki-article. If not substantiated, the sentence has to be cancelled.

replies: text: Further miscitation nonsense: The given reference "Gray et al. (2003)" (long outdated anyway) has nothing to do with the connection between Kura-Araxes and Indo-Europeans claimed here. The term "Kura-Araxes" does not even appear in the paper! Who writes such lies in here? That is why it had to be deleted.HJJHolm (talk) 07:24, 6 June 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Miscitations 

message: I think all national templates should be removed from this article.  The Kura-Arax extended on vast territories so by this logic Turkey and Iran should be also added.  There is nothing certain about linguistics of this culture. Most certainly it doesn't relate to any existing language groups. So please remove them all.

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: "They are also remarkable for the production of wheeled vehicles (wagons and carts), which were sometimes included in burial kurgans." - The alleged wagon finds (neither date nor location given) is obviously a miscitation, because the first wagons appeared only with the following Lchashen-culture, not in the Kira-Arax. I am sure because I personally visited the Erebuni-Museum in Erevan, where in the Kura-Arax-hall only wheel models of clay can be found. I would be happy to learn more, however, best, copy here the sentence containing the cited information. Thank you. HJJHolm (talk) 09:07, 20 June 2017 (UTC)
