"Seventy major astrophysicists from fourteen countries of the world arrived in Yerevan to discuss a number of issues related to unstable phenomena in galaxies. among them are the director of the Leiden Observatory, foreign member of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR, professor Jan Oort (Netherlands), the distinguished researcher of outer galaxies, the Burbidge couple, professors Zwecky and Minkowski (USA), vice-president of international radio communication Dr. Lequio (France), academician Zildovich (USSR), professor Fujimeto (Japan), professor Uchtel (GDR), professor Sersik (Argentina) and others.
Academician Viktor Hambardzumyan made an opening speech at the conference. welcoming the participants and guests of the international conference, he noted the great importance of further research of unstable phenomena, which aims to expand the scientific understanding of the structure of distant galaxies and the still unknown properties of their constituent materials.
The participants of the conference will be at the Byurakan observatory, the Metsamor excavation sites, as well as Etchmiadzin and Zvartnots.

"The expeditions of the Museum of Archeology of the Academy of Sciences of the Republic are carrying out large-scale excavations in the Hrazdan River caves, Tsitsernakaberd, Shengavit, Teyshebaini, Erebuni, Metsamor, Armavir and elsewhere. Abundant values ​​of material culture are found everywhere. The museum receives an average of three thousand archaeological objects every year. Thousands of clay pots, bronze items, daggers and various household objects were found in the excavations of the ancient burial ground of Artiktuf. The fortress-castle of the village of Harich, which dates back to the third millennium BC, is of great interest. The discovery of Metsamor's huge pagan mehyan, thousands of archeological objects, metal smelting furnaces is worthy of mention. Four-wheeled carts were removed from the tombs in the village of Lchashen... So many values ​​of material culture were accumulated in the excavation sites that the management of the Museum of Archeology of the Academy of Sciences had to turn Dvin, Garni, Erebuni into museums in order to preserve them in place. In a year or two, Metsamor, Harich, Shengavit, Armavir, Lchashen, Gladzor, Syunik, Aghstevi Valley, the areas freed from the waters of Sevan and, most likely, the areas to be freed, will become museums. To emphasize the importance, I would say co-historicity, of our work, let me bring at least one fact. According to scientists, the discovery of Great Amor metal smelters already marks the way to the solution of the mystery of the Hyksos who conquered Egypt in the seventeenth century BC. Who were the Hyksos, where did they come from, where did they bend their iron swords... Our population supports us in discovering and preserving ancient settlements, although there are not a few individuals who..."

A tribe of stout and sinewy people, who called themselves the Hyksos, entered the Nile Valley from the north through Assyria and Phoenicia, and destroyed the seventeenth empire of the Pharaohs in one fell swoop, not because the last rulers of the seventeenth empire lacked power, but because the conquerors cut and pierced with steel swords, and the wheels of their chariots were studded with iron, and their the steeds and the swords, the wheels of their chariots did not turn, because they were surrounded by iron. They came down from their mountains in the north, holding their steeds tight, slowly, restraining their horses, they entered the Assyrian plain, and at once rushed and smashed the bronze armies and idols with iron from Assyria to Ethiopia. They became pharaohs and Kurms, were taught to pull the iron sword out of the stone with the magic of fire against the soft Libyan bronze, to separate the constellations from the starry chaos of the sky and then they themselves melted, fell into the warm warmth of the hot earth and the warm embrace of women...
