The Myth

The Achuch-Pachuch are dwarfs who live at the very edge of the world, where the last human being is said to live before the end of the world.

According to Armenian tradition, the Achuch-Pachuch are so small that the entire world is believed to fit through the eye of a needle. When people eventually become small enough to pass through the eye of a needle, the end of the world will come.
