Us georgians are very easy satisfied. Like you dont understand how good i feel when i tell some one that i am from georgia and they tell me of republic of georgia instead of state georgia
here we go: 1) First Georgian kingdom was Diauehi, not Colchis 2) map on 1:04 is factually wrong. Only southern parts of Georgia became Achamenid satrapy, not entirety of the country 3) 1:39, it is Nino, not Nina. And no, she wasnt Greek at all, she was Cappadocian 4) Ashot didnt unite Georgia. Georgia didnt unite till 1000s. Ashot just ran away from arabs, created new principality in desolate part of Georgia which in time, became foundation of the Georgian state in upcoming centuries 4) 2:18, it is King Tamar, not queen. We call her king 5) It were Khvarazmians first who ruined Georgian golden age, not mongols. Mongols just continued destroying already weakened state 6) Czar fell to February revolution, not Bolshevik one. Bolsheviks just killed them later 7) OH BOY, YOU FUCKED IT UP. PREVIOUS mistakes pale to comparison to this one. STALIN IS NOT HAILED IN GEORGIA!!! In fact, absolute majority of population hates him with passion. This is incredibly insulting mistake. It is almost same to say that modern Germans love Hitler.
i mean republic of georgia in theese years was a short lived one wich only lived for 4 years so it isnt that important since its short lived republic but the true independence came when soviet union collapsed
You had only one mistake Tamar king not queen we all know she was woman but her own father made her king in his life so nobody could kill her as a king and she was first female king in Georgia 🥰🥰( I had a mistake {his} my clipboard made it like that😅)
it's still called Queen in English, because unlike Georgian, English has grammatical gender and saying that Tamar was King is like saying Tamar was a man, which she wasn't. Just like you can't say 'he' about Tamar, you can't call her a King
@@Akatosh86 Same goes to Georgian Language, King is male pronoun, however her position as the first woman to rule Georgia in her own right was emphasized by the title mepe ("king") - "Tamar the Great (Georgian: თამარ მეფე)" is not literal translation, Literal is : თამარ მეფე / Tamar the king.
@@Elguja yeah, but people are trying calling her 'King Tamar' in English, not Georgian. In Georgian she is rightfully called თამარ მეფე, but in Russian is Царица Тамар, not Царь Тамар. Same when talking about 'King Tamar', which is incorrect.

I did not see any Georgians in Georgia that actually liked Stalin. Most considered him to be a black mark, even at the Stalin Museum they highlighted the fact he was a monster.
How many people actually died during the Soviet repressions during Stalin's rule? Prior to the dissolution of the Soviet Union and the archival revelations, some historians estimated that the numbers killed by Stalin's regime were 20 million or higher. However after the Soviet Union dissolved, evidence from the Soviet archives was declassified and researchers were allowed to study it. This contained official records of 799,455 executions in 1921-1953 (Seumas Milne: "The battle for history", The Guardian. (12 September 2002). Retrieved 14 July 2013.); around 1.7 million deaths in the Gulag (Applebaum, Anne (2003) Gulag: A History. Doubleday. ISBN 0767900561 pp. 582-583.); some 390,000 deaths during the dekulakization forced resettlement (Pohl, J. Otto (1997). The Stalinist Penal System. McFarland. p. 148. ISBN 0786403365. Pohl cites Russian archival sources for the death toll in the special settlements from 1941-49); and up to 400,000 deaths of persons deported during the 1940s (Pohl, J. Otto (1997). The Stalinist Penal System. McFarland. p. 148. ISBN 0786403365. Pohl cites Russian archival sources for the death toll in the special settlements from 1941-49); with a total of about 3.3 million officially recorded victims in these categories (Wheatcroft, Stephen G. (1999). "Victims of Stalinism and the Soviet Secret Police: The Comparability and Reliability of the Archival Data. Not the Last Word") According to historian Stephen Wheatcroft, approximately 1 million of these deaths were "purposive" while the rest happened through neglect and irresponsibility (Wheatcroft, Stephen (1996). "The Scale and Nature of German and Soviet Repression and Mass Killings, 1930-45"); source: Excess mortality in the Soviet Union under Joseph Stalin - Wikipedia;

Thanks for making video about my beautiful and great homeland, but there were some mistakes in the video. for example: Georgia is not in west Asia, but in east Europe; Tamar was not a queen, but a king, even though she was a woman; There's no such a thing called "South Ossetia", that place is actually called სამაჩაბლო (Samachablo).
It's neither brother, the region is called Caucasus and its in the middle of both continents, a unique and historically rather isolated region that preserved it's culture and mentality, the region has it's own linguistic family and a unique ethno-genesis as described in Qartlis dabadeba of Vakhushti Batonishvili which tells the story of 12 Sons of Targamos. We are nor slavs, nor Indo-Europeans, nor Turks, nor central or eastern asians, nor mongols, who are we? Caucasians, which is neither west Asia and neither east Europe, between two seas and two continents lies a special and unique land. If you want to say that majority of our nation wishes euro-integration it's a different topic, but let's not act as something that we aren't and never were. We aren't Europe and never have been, nor geographically nor culturally, when Georgians say that it's a huge undermining of our own culture, because we are Caucasians from Caucasus.

Did you know that I am Giorgi but I know English and I thought that no one cares about Giorgi but now because of the Internet I type in Georgiana And they are many people that care about 🇬🇪 Georgia 🇬🇪
Nobody knows.It existed centuries before the greeks even got there.I believe are descendants of an advanced civilization...But who cares about my opinion 😕
West Asia is you! Do not say something like that for the second time in your life please. Europa is Gergia ❤ Georgia is Europe. Thank you for sharing this information ❤
4:36 - Absolutely hilarious claim! The vast majority of Georgians feel intense hatred towards Stalin as they were oppressed during Soviet times. Also, Stalin didn't do anything for ''Russia'', but for the Soviet Union.
Hi Mr. History again, also, just in case, again about the geographic definition of Georgia. Georgia is territorially also part of Europe, and more specifically the Caucasus part of southeastern Europe...All these incorrect geographic definitions: "Georgia is Eurasia, or just Caucasus and etc", come from distorted Soviet historiography, from the false Soviet stereotypes, which deliberately distorted, mixed historical facts, terms, geographical names, because of their ideology, Soviet-Bolsheviks, also having a desire to create one Soviet people, and so on and so forth., also from various deceitful, invented ideologies, ideas, which still exists in some well-known sites, for example, in the same Wikipedia. Georgia is a country of South- Eastern Europe...Georgia has always been mentioned as part of the European continent, the Caucasus part of Europe for centuries, including the last centuries, in the 19th century, at the beginning of the 20th century on the maps of Europe, the World, including on the maps of Tsarist Russia. Fortunately, historical justice is restoring, also in the geographical designation of Georgia and Georgia is more and more often called Europe, in Europe and in the world, and the overwhelming majority of Georgians hope that this historical process will finally be approved, and in Wikipedia too, Georgia will be called Europe, not Eurasia.
In addition, just in case, one more thing and that's it, here are some examples of Georgian music, songs, folklore, for comparison ... ruclips.net/video/VCxSnHTT01w/видео.html ruclips.net/video/yon-KfQBF-Q/видео.html ruclips.net/video/Ql5yTb0Bjx0/видео.html
Tamar was king not queen even tho she was woman georgians consider her as a king in battle of didgori georgians had exactly 55,600 men while turkey had whooping 250k-800k men
Could have be a good video with very interesting facts; unfortunately the "speed-talking" narrator does not give any time to absorb any of it... Too bad!
Just in case, about before the Christian religion of the ancestors of the Georgians, I accidentally made a mistake by writing "... strong displacement by the Greek, Roman, Iberian, Ibero-Celtic cultures", which has nothing to do with the truth, on the contrary, as I noted before, the ancestors of the Georgians and in those days they had the closest cultural, social and other relations with the Greeks, with the Roman Empire, with other Iberians, and so on. Of course, pre-Christian times among the ancestors of the Georgians (Kolkhians/Colchids and Iberians), both in the eastern part - in Iberia, and in the western part-in Kolkhida/Egris, there was a pre-Christian religion, Paganism, similar to pre-Christian ancient Greek, Roman Paganism, which the consequences have mixed, with synthesized into Christianity, into Christian culture, how it all was and happened among other peoples, among other European peoples, countries. As for faith, religion, about 97/98% of Georgians are Christians, among whom the Orthodox Christians are dominant, there are also Georgians Catholics (The positive role, the share of Georgian Catholics in the history of Georgians, Georgia, in the culture, in different directions of Georgians, Georgia is also huge. Before there were much more Georgian Catholics ), Protestants and other Christians.
Timur or ( Tamerlane ) . Is one of the cruel leader of human history. It's not represent Islam. It's only try to make Mongol great again. Timur killed more Muslims than other people's in he conquest to conquer the world.
@@binbasesatoktayyldran5236 still we love them, politics and alliances aside, we share a deep historical and cultural bond and i have immense respect for the georgian people
@@flappley Maybe so, however many Georgians don't like Armenia because of Armenia's support for Russia during the Russo Georgian conflict, Armenian troops commited massacres as well during this time. Plus Armenian nationalists claim parts of Georgia as Armenian land just like they do with Turkey and Azerbaijan. So this love feels very one sided tbh.
@@binbasesatoktayyldran5236 there are many georgians that love armenians too, the separatists in Javakh are pretty stupid anyway and I definitely don't support that.

Hi, You are absolutely right. Also, just in case, as from historian by education. Georgians in Caucasus, Etruscans in Italy, Corsicans in Corsica, Picts in Britain, Spanish Iberians in Spain and other Iberian, Ibero/ Celtic peoples have same ethno, ethnic origin and represent Iberian race, Iberian, Ibero/ Celtic peoples of Europe and this is why all these listed peoples ( together with originality of each of these ethno, ethnic peoples) have similarities, identical in different forms of culture, in folk music, dance, in ancient architectural style and so on. Also Georgians cultures of different historical times are European ( together with their own culture/ cultures, influences with different European cultures, beginning from ancient times, influences with ancient Greek civilizations, cultures, with Roman cultures, later with Byzantine/East Roman culture, with Catholic Europe and other European cultures during all historical periods in history of Georgians, Georgia, subsequently, among other European cultures, having the closest relationship also with Russian culture ) and of course, all these things proven historically/scientifically by World's, European ( including Georgian) historians/scientists, and this is why Georgians ( Georgia's) European/Western way is absolutely naturally and historically right way to returning to their European roots, which means their true Georgians roots in this South- Eastern, Caucasus region of Europe, where Georgia itself is located and this is how vast majority of Georgians consider themselves and their country. Just in case, about the ethnic appearance of Georgians, here are some examples: pin.it/1DrndwF pin.it/7HDlbqr pin.it/Y7XZpbu pin.it/1DvQMoo pin.it/5Qvb8zN pin.it/3akg9wv pin.it/7oZQbO4 pin.it/60iJuUt pin.it/5Ne6tWN In addition, I note that Georgians, like Corsicans, Picts, Etruscans, Spanish Iberians and other peoples belong to the Iberian race, the Iberian peoples of Europe and have a kinship etno relationship to Celts through those peoples who have both Iberian and Celtic ethno origin, these last, such peoples live in a certain part of Spain, Britain, Scotland and so on., and there is also a historical opinion that a certain part of the Celts was also mixed with the West Georgian ethnic peoples in their time. From all that has been said, Georgians also have an ethno-cultural attitude towards the Celts in a certain way, which also manifests itself in certain Georgian folk songs, melodies, in dances, for example, the dance "Khorumi" and so on, also proven by archaeological / cultural data. There are also 3 Iberia, Spanish Iberia, Georgian Iberia and Irish Iberia, etc. It is through these mentioned factors that Georgians also have an ethnically related relationship with the Celts. Sincerely, Alex

The vast majority of Georgians feel intense hatred towards Stalin as they were oppressed during Soviet times.
Also, Stalin didn't do anything for ''Russia'', but for the Soviet Union.

Hi Mr. History again, also, just in case, again about the geographic definition of Georgia. Georgia is territorially also part of Europe, and more specifically the Caucasus part of southeastern Europe...All these incorrect geographic definitions: "Georgia is Eurasia, or just Caucasus and etc", come from distorted Soviet historiography, from the false Soviet stereotypes, which deliberately distorted, mixed historical facts, terms, geographical names, because of their ideology, Soviet-Bolsheviks, also having a desire to create one Soviet people, and so on and so forth., also from various deceitful, invented ideologies, ideas, which still exists in some well-known sites, for example, in the same Wikipedia. Georgia is a country of South- Eastern Europe...Georgia has always been mentioned as part of the European continent, the Caucasus part of Europe for centuries, including the last centuries, in the 19th century, at the beginning of the 20th century on the maps of Europe, the World, including on the maps of Tsarist Russia. Fortunately, historical justice is restoring, also in the geographical designation of Georgia and Georgia is more and more often called Europe, in Europe and in the world, and the overwhelming majority of Georgians hope that this historical process will finally be approved, and in Wikipedia too, Georgia will be called Europe, not Eurasia.
In addition, just in case, one more thing and that's it, here are some examples of Georgian music, songs, folklore, for comparison ...

I like how you completely skipped over circassian genocide
Circassian genocide is not really the big part of Georgian history, when Georgian principalities fell, then happened the genocide
What does it has to do with Georgia? We have nothing to do with them

Just in case, about before the Christian religion of the ancestors of the Georgians, I accidentally made a mistake by writing "... strong displacement by the Greek, Roman, Iberian, Ibero-Celtic cultures", which has nothing to do with the truth, on the contrary, as I noted before, the ancestors of the Georgians and in those days they had the closest cultural, social and other relations with the Greeks, with the Roman Empire, with other Iberians, and so on. Of course, pre-Christian times among the ancestors of the Georgians (Kolkhians/Colchids and Iberians), both in the eastern part - in Iberia, and in the western part-in Kolkhida/Egris, there was a pre-Christian religion, Paganism, similar to pre-Christian ancient Greek, Roman Paganism, which the consequences have mixed, with synthesized into Christianity, into Christian culture, how it all was and happened among other peoples, among other European peoples, countries.
As for faith, religion, about 97/98% of Georgians are Christians, among whom the Orthodox Christians are dominant, there are also Georgians Catholics (The positive role, the share of Georgian Catholics in the history of Georgians, Georgia, in the culture, in different directions of Georgians, Georgia is also huge. Before there were much more Georgian Catholics ), Protestants and other Christians.
Both Ashot and Bagrat where Armenian…. 🤦🏻♀️

Tamar wasnt queen she was named king even thought she was a woman
Timur or ( Tamerlane ) . Is one of the cruel leader of human history. It's not represent Islam. It's only try to make Mongol great again. Timur killed more Muslims than other people's in he conquest to conquer the world.

@@flappley Maybe so, however many Georgians don't like Armenia because of Armenia's support for Russia during the Russo Georgian conflict, Armenian troops commited massacres as well during this time. Plus Armenian nationalists claim parts of Georgia as Armenian land just like they do with Turkey and Azerbaijan. So this love feels very one sided tbh.
@@binbasesatoktayyldran5236 there are many georgians that love armenians too, the separatists in Javakh are pretty stupid anyway and I definitely don't support that.

Hi, You are absolutely right. Also, just in case, as from historian by education. Georgians in Caucasus, Etruscans in Italy, Corsicans in Corsica, Picts in Britain, Spanish Iberians in Spain and other Iberian, Ibero/ Celtic peoples have same ethno, ethnic origin and represent Iberian race, Iberian, Ibero/ Celtic peoples of Europe and this is why all these listed peoples ( together with originality of each of these ethno, ethnic peoples) have similarities, identical in different forms of culture, in folk music, dance, in ancient architectural style and so on. Also Georgians cultures of different historical times are European ( together with their own culture/ cultures, influences with different European cultures, beginning from ancient times, influences with ancient Greek civilizations, cultures, with Roman cultures, later with Byzantine/East Roman culture, with Catholic Europe and other European cultures during all historical periods in history of Georgians, Georgia, subsequently, among other European cultures, having the closest relationship also with Russian culture ) and of course, all these things proven historically/scientifically by World's, European ( including Georgian) historians/scientists, and this is why Georgians ( Georgia's) European/Western way is absolutely naturally and historically right way to returning to their European roots, which means their true Georgians roots in this South- Eastern, Caucasus region of Europe, where Georgia itself is located and this is how vast majority of Georgians consider themselves and their country.
Just in case, about the ethnic appearance of Georgians, here are some examples:

pin.it/5Qvb8zN
pin.it/3akg9wv
pin.it/7oZQbO4
pin.it/60iJuUt
pin.it/5Ne6tWN
In addition, I note that Georgians, like Corsicans, Picts, Etruscans, Spanish Iberians and other peoples belong to the Iberian race, the Iberian peoples of Europe and have a kinship etno relationship to Celts through those peoples who have both Iberian and Celtic ethno origin, these last, such peoples live in a certain part of Spain, Britain, Scotland and so on., and there is also a historical opinion that a certain part of the Celts was also mixed with the West Georgian ethnic peoples in their time. From all that has been said, Georgians also have an ethno-cultural attitude towards the Celts in a certain way, which also manifests itself in certain Georgian folk songs, melodies, in dances, for example, the dance "Khorumi" and so on, also proven by archaeological / cultural data. There are also 3 Iberia, Spanish Iberia, Georgian Iberia and Irish Iberia, etc. It is through these mentioned factors that Georgians also have an ethnically related relationship with the Celts.
