_______________________________________________________

^1.To all appearances, this is about Tigris and Euphrates
². Sumerian language
³. The history of Sumerians knows nothing about Altay Mountains. The homeland they considered to be the homeland of all the humans is the high mountains on Dilmun Island. It is unknown what made them leave the mountains
⁴.Turkic peoples are an ethno-linguistic community formed on the territory of Altay and in Asian steppes in the 1st millennium BC. It is not clarified how they could invent the cuneiform writing system at the other end of the continent 2,000 years before they originated. ⁵.The Saks and Skits are one and the same tribe, but authors of Azerbaijani textbooks have not heard about it.
Together with the Cimmerians (predecessors of Scythians), they are Iranian-speaking tribes
⁶. This is about Scythian Naples. Scythians are Iranian-speaking nomads
⁷. The Armenian Kingdom is not indicated in the list in question №7, but by chronology, later, that non-existent state is liquidated by Albania (non-existent historical event, by the way). The South Caucasus under Queen Tamar (12th-13th centuries), the South Caucasus under Roman rule (1st-2nd centuries), Caucasian Albania and its neighbors (3rd-4th centuries), etc.
⁸.Manianism is a non-existent religion. Mazdeism is an ancient Iranian religion, it is considered to be founded by Rama. Zoroastrism was founded by ancient Iranian prophet Zoroaster (Zarathustra) who lived approximately in the 8th-6th centuries BC
⁹. This is nothing more than an ordinary fraud. The king’s name was SanaTRUK, not SanaTURK. A simple change of the letters in the name turns Sanatruk Arshakuni into a proud son of Altay where nomads roamed.
So, it is senseless to speak about the historical trustworthiness of “Sanaturk’s fight for territorial integrity”
¹⁰.Ani was the ancient capital of the Armenian Kingdom of Ani, Dvin was the capital of medieval Armenia
¹¹. No comment
¹². Caucasian Albania and its neighbors (3rd-4th centuries)
