Factual accuracy[edit]

I tagged the urartu section inasmuch as it is of questionable factual accuracy to claim that Urartu and Armenia are one and the same. The current reading of the article leads one to believe that Urartu up and became Armenia part and parcel. Urartu's military history has no place in a page on Armenia's military history, unless it is seriously being argued that Urartu was one and the same as Armenia, which is dubious to say the least.

If data about Urartu is included in History of Armenia, why not include it here also? -- Davo88 00:24, 12 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Because I contest that data's accuracy as well, as I have been contesting for over a month now. The connection between Urartu and Armenia is not a part and parcel transformation from the one into the other, thus it doesn't belong here any more than Roman legions belong in the military history of great britain.

See my answer below. Emperor of Emperors Armenia (talk) 09:42, 20 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I requested User:Clevelander to put back the Urartu warriors image in the Military history of Armenia, where the image was with the info. User:Davo88 also requested to add the Urartu section, so we put the image Urartu warriors there also. Ararat arev 22:51, 14 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Why should we? it says "Military history of Armenia" and urartu is not Armenia. Nareklm 22:52, 14 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It is simply incorrect that urartu is not Armenia, Urartu is a direct line of descendance of Armenian history, the first king called the kingdom Nairi, a continuation of the armenian tribal confederations. I would like to revert it back. Emperor of Emperors Armenia (talk) 09:42, 20 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Armenian archers deadly at 200 meters?[edit]

In the "Army of Tigranes 2" section, the quoted paragraph says,

"Plutarch wrote that the Armenian archers could kill from 200 meters with their deadly accurate arrows."

Does anyone know exactly in which part of Plutarch's "Lives" this is mentioned?

Sinsigel —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.135.177.94 (talk) 11:25, 1 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That paragraph is copied verbatim from a website named "armenianhighlander". I found a book which states that it was on "Polybius, p. 236", the book in question is The Kingdom of Armenia, by M. Chahin, but I could not find any information on the many page 236s in the Loeb numeration of Parallel lives, and the lack of book given makes it almost impossible to find, since Plutarch wrote many more books than Lives. As well as the fact that it's not an actual verbatim quote, so I haven't been able to verify it. JirisysKlatoon (talk) 08:52, 2 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Adding a citation needed in the meanwhile. JirisysKlatoon (talk) 23:53, 16 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
