Armenian and foreign researchers often confused the ruins of Dvin with those of Artashat. The reason was the proximity of the two notable cities. Sometimes only the fortress and the hill were called Dvin, later the whole city, and sometimes the part of the Ararat valley and the river Arax were called Plain of Dvin and the River of Dvin. As a capital, Dvin was founded in the 30s of the 4th century, when the Armenian king Khosrov Kotak (330 - 338) moved the royal court from Artashat to Dvin.
Herbert Wells, a science fiction writer, master of social and philosophical fiction, biologist by profession and Doctor of Biology, is an author of many famous novels, scientific studies, manuals, and various interesting books. It is a well-known fact that scientific and technical progress is in the center of his entire work. But the writer was firmly convinced that technical progress cannot make humans happy, and in his works, Wells made interesting juxtapositions between capacities of science and reason, and described world cataclysms, the cruelty of soldiers, and the conquest of colonies. In the early 20th century, he foresaw the birth of many great scientific discoveries related to the development of the universe and interplanetary communication.
