However, this is not explained in the History section of the description, and so I shall edit it to make it clear that we do know the actual origin of these irrigation canals.

I like that particular story. Actualy she was rejected by Ara(moral of the story to stay true to family), which caused her to go crazy and invade Armenia. Ara was killed in the battle, and she had her magical dogs lick his dead corps trying to bring him back to life. (crazy chick) :)
