In antiquity the village was an important site of early Armenian Christianity and the ruins of several ancient church's and the monastery of Saint Daniel of Gop still occupy the town. The site also hosts the tombs of several early saints and patriotic leaders of the ancient Armenian kingdom.[2]

History

According to Armenian tradition, Ashtishat was the site of an ancient Greek temple. In the 4th century Saint Gregory the Illuminator founded a church here And in 364 Gregory's great-grandson Saint Narses,[3] convened the Council of Ashtishat[4] which established cannon, liturgy, fast days and procedures for classical Armenian Christianity.[5]

Nerses son, St. Sahag chamberlain to King Arshak II,[5] founded a monastery in Ashtishat.[2]

Ashtishat was destroyed during the Arab invasion and again by Tamerlane.[2]

gollark: So I decided to look at the website on a device which could actually render the sculpture thing, and looking at the FAQ, this seems... odd...:> Each unique seed is stored immutably on the blockchain, and while seeds are case-sensitive, your seed (and therefore, your sculpture) cannot be duplicated by anyone.... *what* does case sensitivity have to do with anything? How can it "not be duplicated"?
gollark: There's this nice one I use for wallpapers: https://github.com/TomSmeets/FractalArt/
gollark: Calling NFTs a form of art themselves, and not the artistic thing they happen to be tied to, seems like calling the fiat currency you might buy artwork with also art.
gollark: Anyway, while it does seem like a cool generative art-type thing (the viewer runs very slowly on my phone so it's hard to tell) I don't think the NFT bit is intrinsic to it at all, or relevant to it except as a somewhat weird way to have it pay for itself.
gollark: 5 million LoC implies you wrote 120000 a day, which seems implausible. And/or would suggest you did waaaaay too much work.
