Paris Herouni

He was a member of the Armenian National Academy of Sciences in the fields of radio-physics, radio-engineering, and radio-astronomy and the head of the Antenna Systems chair, which he founded, at the National Polytechnic University of Armenia and Radio Physics Research Institute (RRI).

Upon completion of his undergraduate studies in Yerevan, Herouni attended the Moscow Power Engineering Institute, where he earned his graduate degree in radio technology in 1957.

[3] In addition, Herouni held over 20 patents and published over 340 scientific works, including two monographs during his lifetime.

In addition, he created methods of Near-to-Far (NF - FF) measurements of antennas and scattering objects parameters.

He concluded and built an Antenna Parameters and Phase Shift Angle, being the first 11, based on the World National Primary Standards.

Using this, he designed and built many highly, effective automatic complexes of equipment for NF - FF antenna measurement.

Later, Herouni turned his attention to megalithic structures, such as Carahunge (sometimes referred to as Zorats Karer) in Armenia.

By using four telescopic methods, and the precession laws of Earth, he argued that Zorats Kaher is more than 7,500 years old; dating it to around 5500 BC.

The northeast avenue, which extends about 50 metres (160 ft) meters from the center, has been inconsistently associated with the summer solstice, the major northern lunistice, or the rising of Venus.

[13] Herouni had postulated that in order to use the holes in the megaliths for astronomical observations sufficiently precise to determine the date of the solstices, it would have been necessary to restrict the field of vision by inserting a narrow tube into the existing perforations.
