Hartashen Megalithic Avenue is a row of prehistoric megalithic rocks in Armenia. There are two rows of megalithic rocks which do not intersect and there is no road connection to this site.[1] Armenian academics have proposed that the megalith formation was built around 7000-5000 BC.[citation needed] There are two rows of basalt stones which are placed at an angle, and in each row menhirs are arranged in three rows.[2] There is no clarity about the purpose of these two rows of menhirs and further research is under progress.[3]
