Any nationality has characteristics that make it different from others. The Armenian profile is what you pay attention to when you see the representatives of Ararat. Armenians are distinguished not only by a prominent nose, but also by swarthy skin, large and deep dark eyes, a special outline of the lips, black eyebrows that can converge on the bridge of the nose. Needless to say, the appearance of the Armenians is very bright and memorable.
The origin of Armenians
In order to understand why the Armenians have such a structure of the nose, it is necessary to understand who their ancestors were, from what nationalities they descended. The Armenian people are ancient. He speaks Armenian and belongs to the Indo-European linguistic layer. The formation of this nation began at the end of the second millennium BC and ended in the sixth century BC
There are at least five mythical traditions (Armenian, Greek, Georgian, Arabic, Hebrew) that put forward different versionsorigin of the Armenians. According to historians, the most plausible and proven fact is belonging to the Indo-European people, from which the Armenians subsequently separated. The formation of the nation took place in two stages. The first is the period of unions of clans and early state formation (3-2 millennium BC). The second stage is the creation of a unified statehood on the territory of the Armenian Highlands (5-4 millennium BC).
Features of the structure of the nose
Why do Armenians have big noses? Not only the Armenians themselves are interested in this issue, but also representatives of other nationalities. From the point of view of medicine and the anatomical and physiological features of the respiratory system, a hump nose is a defect in which the upper part has an uneven contour with a pronounced protrusion above the back. Hill-like growth consists of cartilaginous and bone tissues. Among the nationalities that have a similar structure of the nose are not only Armenians, but also Georgians, Turks, Greeks, Azerbaijanis, French, Italians and others. It should be noted that for them, a protruding hump on the nose is the norm, and for the peoples of the Caucasian race it is a serious psychological problem and an aesthetic defect.
Hump nose is a typical feature of Armenians. It is not a characteristic hallmark of the Slavs, although it is quite common among Europeans. The Armenian nose has distinctive features and is characterized by clear, pronounced lines. In profile, the nose drops at the base, and the hump is clearly visible.
Reason
According to scientific research, the Armenian nose has an objective reason for such a structure. It lies in the natural and climatic conditions. At an altitude of three thousand meters above sea level, light breathing is required, which provides a large nose. That is why the respiratory functions of the mountain dwellers are better developed than those of the peoples living on the plains. The reason for the big nose is the "mountain factor", the features of the landscape of Armenia. This factor also influenced genetic changes. For example, Asians have narrow eyes, the structure of which is due to life in the desert and on flat terrain (wind, hurricanes, sandstorms).
National difference
The big Armenian nose, in fact, is not so common even among purebred Armenians. It is strikingly different in shape from the nose of Georgians, Azerbaijanis, Dagestanis. The nose of the Armenians is large, spade-shaped and with a thickened step-shaped hump. Many consider such a profile to be a true national treasure, a legacy of ancient Urartu. There is a joke among Armenians: if you cut off the nose, the Armenian will fall on his back, losing his balance.
Appearance of Armenians
What do purebred Armenians look like? The typical Armenian appearance is different from other Caucasian peoples. Armenians are characterized by dark skin, but this is not the rule. Quite often among them there are fair-skinned, blue-eyed, with dark brown or black hair. Among these mountain dwellers, one can see representatives of the Celtic appearance: red hair, freckles on the face, white skin, blue or browneyes.
Men
Of course, not all representatives of Armenians have an outstanding profile, but the expression "Armenian nose" is known to many and widely used. It is not difficult to identify a prominent representative of the Armenian nationality. Firstly, Armenian men, like women, have deep-set black or brown eyes with a sad look in their eyes. Sometimes there are gray-eyed, green-eyed and blue-eyed Armenians. Secondly, they differ from Europeans in dark skin color. Men, like women, have thick black hair, wide eyebrows that can connect at the bridge of the nose.
The male nose in overwhelming cases differs from the female in structure and size. It is longer, wider, and the hump protrudes more strongly, it can be stepped. The Armenian profile is the hallmark of the Caucasian people, so men carry it proudly, like the flag of their homeland.
Women
Armenian girls are bright oriental beauties. The appearance of Armenian women is diverse. Most ladies have brown eyes, chestnut or ash-black curls. Often among Armenian women there are gray-eyed, green-eyed, blue-eyed girls with red and blond hair.
You can recognize an Armenian girl by her elongated face and nose, which is somewhat elongated, its tip is lowered down, and there is a pronounced hump on the bridge of the nose. Of course, appearance depends on genetics, so among the fair sex there are owners of small graceful noses.
Flaw or virtue?
Most of the girls are dissatisfied with their Armenian profile. Unfortunately, a large nose can spoil even the most pretty face. That is why today there is such a high percentage of plastic surgeries (rhinoplasty) among women. Plastic surgeons approach the correction of the shape of the nose not only from an aesthetic point of view, but also for the purpose of safety for he alth. There is an opinion that nature does not make mistakes. If the nose is long and wide, then other facial features should be large. In this case, it looks harmonious from the front.
Armenian girls are representatives of an imperfect profile. It is impossible to consider it a disadvantage, since this characteristic feature distinguishes them from other nations. In addition, among Armenian women there are many pretty women with a nose that suits them very well and emphasizes their unique appearance and character. A small hump on the bridge of the nose only adorns the oriental beauty. If the nose protrudes too much and visually spoils beautiful facial features, its shape and length can be changed by rhinoplasty, which is very popular among Armenian women.
A few tricks
Reshaping your nose is easy with the right hair and make-up. If the nose is wide, make-up artists advise applying a dark tone to the middle, and toning the sides with a light shade of cream. If the nose is long, blend the dark shade at the tip, and lighten the wings of the nose. Makeup artists recommend making a bright and rich accent on the eyes or lips, then the problem with an outstanding profile will be solved. Balance facial features and beautifullystyled hair.
Armenian women are the owners of naturally thick and shiny curls that visually help solve the problem with the shape of the nose. Stylists advise wearing fluffy hair, but they should not be straight, but twisted. Large curls, lush hairstyle adjust the length of the spout. Thick long bangs should be avoided, which only emphasizes the profile.
Men, on the contrary, are proud of their "eagle" profile. Unlike beautiful ladies, they consider it a dignity, a national treasure inherited from their ancestors. Today, the stronger sex also resorts to rhinoplasty if there are medical indications or if you want positive changes in appearance.
Many famous Armenians of our time, artists and public figures are forced to resort to surgery for aesthetic purposes, for example, to look better on the screen and make their faces pretty and harmonious. There is nothing to worry about if the surgery will improve the shape of the nose, and not ruin it. The main thing is not to lose individuality.
