The assemblage was built some 11,600 years ago dated 10th millennium BC, seven millennia before the Great Pyramid of Giza. It contains the oldest known temple. Indeed, Portasar (Göbekli Tepe) is the oldest known example of monumental architecture—the first structure human beings put together that was bigger and more complicated than a hut. When these pillars were erected, so far as we know, nothing of comparable scale existed in the world. Portasar is located in Western Armenia, in the historic Armenian region of Urha, often referred in Turkish as Urfa or Riha. The letter “F” is very rarely used in the Armenian language, it is speculated that the sound “F” perpetuates is unholy or not a correct sound. By etymology the name “Urha” is Armenian, the word “Hurrian” HUR comes from Armenian “fire”, the Kingdom of Mitanni is considered to be one of several proto-Armenian Kingdom’s. AR, HAR, ER, HER, YER, HOR, KHAR, KHOR, UR, HUR, KHUR have the same meaning. And you have to know that the vocal can change, just the consonant keeps on. Ar, Ur, Er, Ir etc – and that word are made by one consonant and one or two vocals, which can change their place on either side of the consonant. According to a number of scholars, Ar, was a shorter version of Ara or Arar(ich), Creator. The worship of Ar was wide spread amongst early Armenians who worshipped this deity and simply called him the Creator (Ara or Ararich). The first mentioning of Armenians in the region of Urha, was first mentioned in the epic of Naram Sin, where Naram Sin the Akkadian tyrant went to war against the neighboring Armeni tribes in2254–2218 BCE, whose King Armanum (Aram) had a powerful kingdom in the current day region of South-Eastern Turkey, and Northern Syria, with its heart in the city of Ebla. The Armenians regard Urha as a holy city, because it is believed that Mesrop Mashtots revived the Ancient Armenian alphabet in this city. This region has always had an historic Armenian presence, and since the times of historical documentation, whether it be on tablets or scrolls, the Armenians have been recorded more so in this region than any other known ethnic group since the beginning of historical documentation. At the beginning of the 20th century, the Armenians were still the majority as a single ethnic group in the city of Urha. It was only during the genocide, where local Turkish, and Kurdish muslim’s drove out the Armenian populace, and sought out to destroy them. The formation of Neolithic tribes in the Armenian Highland, gave birth to these advanced peoples who had strong national identity, and would later form the Proto-Armenian Kingdoms of the Armenian Highland, being Mitanni, and Ararat (Urartu) in particular.

For Armenians, the city has a great symbolic value, as the Armenian alphabet was invented there, thanks to a group of scholars and clergy headed by Mesrop Mashtots in the 5th century)
