Hey folks,

Hope this finds you all well. I recently started uploading some of my work to youtube, and I thought you might be interested in checking out my short film, Embers of the Sun, a kind of love letter to Armenia's stone circles, menhirs, petroglyphs and the landscapes they inhabit, which I've spent much of the past 8 years studying.

I made this film some time ago, but the beauty of YouTube is that I can finally get it out to people who are actually interested in megaliths, and Armenian ones to boot!

The film is not a documentary per se. There's no narration, etc. Just sound and image. I've tried to evoke something of the alien grandeur and beautiful, almost terrifying desolation that these remote places hold. Unfortunately I had to break it into 2 parts, and thus interrupt the flow of the piece, which moves from dawn to dusk. The low resolution on YouTube is another drag, but the sound isn't bad, so turn it up!

Part one is here:

Thanks, and enjoy.

Just had a look at them. Some lovely things. I didn't know about the petroglyphs, so many thanks for that.

The film is very nice, but a bit too much art and not enough stone for me.

Thanks Z. really enjoyed the film . Looks like a an area for archaeoastronomers . I was wondering if among the rock art there were any non-figuartive markings i.e. cup marks ? . The reason I ask is that neighbouring Azerbaijan (maybe I shouldn't mention that ) has figurative and abstract rock art . Music was great too .

Hi Z
wonderful stones and carvings beautifully filmed and backed by gorgeous music.
Thanks, you've made my morning a lot brighter.
