This is not the same thing, btw: Carhenge: Nebraska's Mysterious Monument to American Cars

About 30 previously unknown stones with holes have been discovered at Carahunge or Zorats Karer (the Armenian Stonehenge).
Other stones of astronomical importance have also been found during the measurement works carried out jointly by the Byurakan Observatory and the Armenian National University of Architecture and Construction.
The team carried out computer scanning of the monument and the adjacent area, aerial photo-scanning of the area. All stones with holes were photographed and measured.
After the measurement results are summed up, astronomical calculations will begin based on new, highly accurate data.
Carahunge is a prehistoric archaeological site near the town of Sisian in the Syunik Province of Armenia. It is also often referred to as the "Armenian Stonehenge".
The site is rich with stone settings, burial cists and standing stones. In total, 223 stones have been identified.

Great. More finds for anthropologists to make up stuff about.
Does Keith Richards know about this?....................
How do we know he didn’t build it?
Yep! he’s old as the hills!..............
Probably doesn't remember much about it, he was still a toddler.
Sorry, that’s my bad. I knew I left 30 stones somewhere, I just couldn’t remember exactly where!
As long as I don't hit 30 stone...
“near the town of Sisian in the Syunik Province”, the country resembles a piece of paper that’s been rumpled into a ball and allowed to try to flatten itself back out.

The name *may* come from the much earlier Hurrians/Khar/Carians.

[snip] Geneticists have scanned the genomes of 173 Armenians from Armenia and Lebanon and compared them with those of 78 other populations from around the world. They found that the Armenians are a mix of ancient populations whose descendants now live in Sardinia, Central Asia and several other regions... Armenians share 29 percent of their DNA ancestry with Otzi, a man whose 5,300-year-old mummy emerged in 1991 from a melting Alpine glacier. Other genetically isolated populations of the Near East, like Cypriots, Sephardic Jews and Lebanese Christians, also share a lot of ancestry with the Iceman, whereas other Near Easterners, like Turks, Syrians and Palestinians [sic], share less.
