Lavash (Armenian: լավաշ; Azerbaijani: Lavaş ; Turkish: lavaş ; Kurdish: nanê loş‎; Persian: لواش‎) is a soft, thin unleavened flatbread traditionally baked in a tandoor ( tonir ) and eaten all over the South Caucasus, Western Asia, the United States and the areas surrounding the Caspian Sea.

According to some scholars it was not a temple but a tomb and thus survived the destruction of pagan structures. It collapsed in a 1679 earthquake.

It is one of the main tourist attractions in Armenia and the central shrine of Hetanism (Armenian neopaganis...
