Potentially More Pyramids in Goris, Armenia

The cozy town Goris, which is located in the south of Armenia, is an amazing place with its nature and surrounded mountains and hills. Throughout its history, Goris has been known as Kores and Gorayk. However, there are several explanations for the origin of the name. It is supposed that the name Goris is derived from the Indo-European prelanguage words "gor" (rock), "es" (to be), i.e. Goris/Kores meaning a rocky place. There was a dwelling in the ancient times in the same area of the town. The name Goris had many variants including: Goristsa, Kores, Gores, Gorayk, Goru, and Geryusy. The area of Goris has been settled since the Stone Age. Goris was first mentioned in the history by the Urartian period. King Rusa I of Urartu who reigned between 735 and 713 BC, left a cuneiform, where he mentioned that among the 23 countries conquered by him, Goristsa country was one of them. The scientists suppose that it is the same Goris.

As a very ancient town, Goris might be the home of several pyramids and some of the hills and rocks that are surrounding Goris area, might potentially be pyramids and other types of shrines stemming from the ancient times. Below are shown some of the pictures resembling pyramids in Goris.

The pyramid above is very evenly geometrically shaped and as in some other examples, it might the case when the basis had been taken the natural relief and then the several man-made walls were added. And due to the unstable and severe weather conditions in Armenia, which is the very cold winters and the hot summers, as well as fully experiencing spring and summer by their climatic exposures during each calendar year, this particular pyramid might have been camouflaged, integrated and hidden in the nature. 

This other semi-round shaped object above might also be some mysterious structure again over-integrated with the nature. It stands so separate from the surrounding, with its unique geometrically shaped semi-sphere!

A particular attention should be paid to this extraordinary pyramid's pictures of which are shown above. It is situated on the top of the hill. One of its sides, and maybe the man-made one, is totally separated from the surrounding and has a very limited and rare plant coverage on it. It might be the case that due to being man-constructed, it is not serving as a favorable place for the plants to grow extensively.

And lastly, on the topic of potential pyramids in Goris and how they can be embedded in the nature over millenniums, a comparison can be made with another ancient settlement from Goris area called Khndzoresk, the pictures of which are shown below. This is a vivid example on how over centuries the fascinating man-made structures, which are done in “close cooperation” with the nature, eventually can get embedded by the nature if those structures remain abandoned for an enduring period.

And now look at these amazing pictures again, and one with a very simple visual reference can notice how it might resemble a pyramids on tops.

And finally to conclude, above is shown the picture extracted from another hill-sides of Goris, which might entail so much of mysterious and uncovered in it!
