Cave of birds

The Cave of Birds is located near the Arpa Gnishik River, at an altitude of 30 m. The cave is a chain of rocky rooms connected by narrow passages. In the upper parts of the rock, it has several more cracks of smaller diameter. The entrance is partially covered by large stones.

It is known that the oldest shoes in the world were found during archaeological excavations carried out in the village of Areni, Vayots Dzor region. The shoe, clogged with greens, is designed for the right foot. The shoe is small enough; it's size 37, according to European current standards. According to laboratory data, the oldest shoe has a history of 5637-5387 years.
