Karahunj Observatory

What the Show Claims

  • Ancient Astronaut theorists suggest that ancient mountain observatories like those in the Armenian highlands may have been used by extraterrestrials to monitor Earth or may represent celestial knowledge imparted by alien visitors.

What Archaeology Says

Karahunj, also known as Carahunge, is an ancient stone circle in Armenia with over 200 standing stones, some with holes drilled through them. It dates to around 2200 BCE and shows evidence of astronomical alignment, though its precise function is debated.
