After an unplanned Wikipedia binge about Armenian history, I stumbled upon this interesting fact: in antiquity (~300 BC to ~600 AD), there was a kingdom established near the location of present-day Armenia called the Kingdom of Iberia.

Iberian peninsula in the west, and a Kingdom of Iberia in the east? Yet another very strange coincidence, it seems.
- inawarminister 7y agoNope, (Caucasian) Iberia is Georgia, not Armenia. The Urartu (linked with Hurrians of East Anatolia/North Syria) are old old old though, already mentioned by surrounding people's by 2000BCE, and seems to be the direct ancestors of Armenians with some Indo-Iranian injections.
