History

Georgia is a country of ancient civilization. Its territory was populated by people 1.7-1.8 million years ago. This fact is proven by the results of archaeological excavations in Dmanisi, south eastern Georgia, in 1999. Archaeologists discovered a skull of Homo erectus (Standing human) and the lower jaw of Archantropus. The remains of a human were found in Dmanisi and have been acknowledged as the oldest inhabitant of Eurasia and referred to as the "First European".

Culture

The fact that Georgia is an ancient country full of rich, multi-century culture is manifested in the abundance of monuments and artifacts that were created in the B.C. epoch. During that time gold-smiths and architects were exceptionally sophisticated in the Georgian kingdoms of Iberia and Kolkheti (Vani, Uplistsikhe.) Evidence has proven that Georgian tribes produced metals during the Neolithic period and according to Greek sources and myths, the Kingdom of Kolkheti contained large gold reserves.
