Armenia mystery in ruins of Ani

Our final mystery takes us to the ruins of Ani, once a thriving medieval Armenian city known as the "City of 1001 Churches." Located near the modern-day border with Turkey, Ani was a bustling metropolis in the 10th and 11th centuries. However, it was mysteriously abandoned in the 14th century, and the reasons for its decline and desertion remain unclear. Was it due to invasions, natural disasters, or economic decline? Despite extensive archaeological studies, the exact cause of Ani's downfall remains speculative, leaving us to ponder what led to the demise of this once-great city.
