Carahunge, also known as Zorats Karer, is an ancient site in southern Armenia comprising 223 standing stones, many with precisely drilled holes that researchers believe served astronomical observation purposes. The site is estimated to be over 7,500 years old, potentially making it one of the world's oldest known observatories. Studies suggest the stone holes align with specific stars and celestial events, indicating sophisticated astronomical knowledge among its builders.
