Situated at the strategically important crossroads where Europe meets Asia, Georgia has a unique and ancient cultural heritage. The territory of present-day Georgia was inhabited yet on the dawn of humanity. Archaeological excavations has yielded artifacts from several eras of human occupation, with older material particularly well preserved under more recent volcanic deposits. At the Archaeologic

al site of Dmanisi archaeologists discovered the oldest hominid fossil outside Africa: a 1.77-million-year-old jaw bone belonging to Homo Erectus. Archaeological findings indicate that metal processing in Georgia began some 4000 years ago. Georgia was inhabited by ancient Georgian tribes united in strong alliances. The first Georgian kingdoms of Colchis and Iberia appeared in 600-400 B.C. Georgia had its own written language and literature as early as 3 century B.C. in the time of King Parnavaz, a contemporary of Alexander the Great. Owing to the close ties with the antique world, the propagation of Christianity in Georgia became possible as early as in the first quarter of the 4th century A.D.; it was declared the state religion. By 6th century A.D. Georgia was already an established feudal state. The period from 9th to the 11th centuries witnessed an economic and cultural upsurge in Georgia. Old cities began to grow while new ones cropped up here and there. Its trade with other parts of the world expanded. Georgia attained its zenith in the 12th and 13th centuries. The unification of Georgian lands and its growing political and military power went hand in hand with an upsurge in national culture. These were the years Georgia becane famous for its art, architecture and literature. In the course of eleven centuries, beginning with the seventh and ending with the eighteenth, small Christian Georgia confronted the enormous Muslim world, - Arabs, Persians, Turks; Georgia also suffered from Mongol invasion. Finally, exhausted with eleven centuries of strife against enemies, Georgia turned to coreligionist Russia for help. This was a mistake. Instead of giving help, Russia annexed Georgia in 1801. The Georgian kingdom was done away with. Georgia was devided into two Russian "Gubernias", but the fight for national liberation never relaxed. As a result, the independence of Georgia was declared on May 26, 1918. But alas, this independence was short-lived. In February-March 1921, Communist Russia again seized Georgia. After 70 years of communist occupation, on April 9, 1991, shortly before the collapse of the Soviet Union, Georgia declared independence.
