And at the Dragon Stone area in the village of Lchashen on the northwestern edge of the high Lake Sevan, archaeologists from the Yerevan National Academy of Sciences of Armenia have unearthed a "Dragon Stone" stela decorated with the image of a sacrificed bull, estimated to date from the 16th century BC.

Inside the burial pit were the remains of two infants; DNA studies showed they had identical mitochondrial sequences and were approximately two months old, suggesting they were closely related. Photo: @Yerevan National Academy of Sciences.

At this burial pit, experts also found archaeological artifacts such as painted pottery, a bronze hairpin, an agate bead, a bone needle, and a piece of obsidian. Photo: @Yerevan National Academy of Sciences.

According to the lead author of this study, Professor Arsen Bobokhyan from the Yerevan National Academy of Sciences of Armenia, “In Armenia at the end of the Bronze Age in general and in Lchashen in particular, the burial of children was very rare, and the burial of two closely related infants combined with a commemorative bull-carved Dragon Stone stela is a unique and unprecedented discovery.” Photo: @Yerevan National Academy of Sciences.
