I like the two comments to the article.

The structure in the picture should be from a later period, no?

Those are some serious comments, yeah. :’) The Armenians (sometimes) claim descent from the groups which fought against various ancient empires, such as the Assyrians; Urartu, Hurrians, and Carians (Khar, Kreti) would be in that ancestry or be related people. I’d have to have a look at the map beyond those remarks.

The aqueduct could be Roman in date, but could also be Byzantine in date. Artemis mosaics would indicate pagan Roman date (and probably early imperial period), and so chances are, that’s the same for the aqueduct.

Assyrian (? I’d have to look at the map), Late ‘Hittite’, Lydian (? I’d have to look at the map), Persian, Alexandrian/Hellenistic, Roman, Byzantine, Arab, and Ottoman would be the correct order, and there may be some earlier and intervening I left out, my apologies.
