History of Georgia

• The recorded history in Georgia goes back over an incredible 4000 years. Moreover, our culture is far older. As a nation at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, Georgia has long been marked by war. From the 1st century BC to the 18th century AD the Greeks, Romans, Persians, Arabs, Ottomans and Russianshave all attempted to possess this beautiful land, but none have ever conquered it completely or permanently. As a result, our history became one of the skilled survivals – preserving our culture against overwhelming odds again and again.
