“Hayk was a handsome, friendly man, with curly hair, sparkling eyes, and strong arms. He was a man of giant stature, a mighty archer and fearless warrior. Hayk and his people, from the time of their forefathers Noah and Japheth, had migrated South to the warmer lands near Babylon. In those lands ruled a wicked giant named Bel. Bel tried to impose his tyranny upon Hayk’s people, but Hayk proud of his origins, refused to submit himself or the fate of his people to Bel. As soon as his son Aramaneak was born, Hayk rose up against Bel, and led his people back to the land of his forefathers, the land of Ararat. At the foot of the mountain, he built his home, Haykashen”. Moses of Khoren
