Tombstone from the Jewish cemetery in Yeghegis, southeastern Armenia, 13th century
In the gorges of the Yeghegis Mountains there is a unique medieval Jewish cemetery filled with funerary poetry and expressions from the Bible and Talmud. Although there are many historical records of Jews in Armenia in ancient times, to date – except for a reference in an obscure Russian academic journal in 1912 – there is no information about the community during the Middle Ages. The names found on the tombstones were popular among Persian Jews, indicating that the Jewish population of Yeghegis may have had an Iranian background. However, the exact history of the emergence of this Jewish community and the circumstances of its disappearance after only 80 years, remains a mystery.
