Gamarjoba! In today's episode we discuss the birth of Jesus Christ and how it relates to Georgia, and go over the reign of Parsman I, who managed to hold 3 different kingdoms under his control, and even forced the Romans to stop him.

We did a collaboration with the Eastern Border about Galaktion Tabidze! Listen to it here!

Gamarjoba, this is a weird one. I'm more than sure that there's some sort of message or meaning in this story, but it's probably a message you'll be able to figure out on your own.

Gamarjoba! This episode takes us from 63 BC to 1 AD in our timeline, so we're finally in the Common Era! We cover 3.5 Kings, since the 4th one actually rules next episode. We take a look at how Kartli interacts with the Romans with what scant sources we have, and then we go ahead and have a small Colchis interlude to top the episode.

Gamarjoba! In this episode, we'll be covering the Iberian side of the Mithridatic Wars, and getting way into Pompey. To be fair, he's the main guy in this thing. And yeah, we don't have any clue what our kings still look like. Coin on the episode picture depicts Aristarchos of Colchis.

Gamarjoba! In this episode, we'll be covering the Colchian side of the Mithridatic Wars, up until the winter of 66 BC. I don't want to spoil you all with Pompey Magnus just yet.

Gamarjoba! Today we will be covering 4 Iberian kings and a Colchian King, because although I would love to focus in on just one person at a time for better narrative purposes, we frankly don't have much information on these guys to go on. However, we do end right before the Mithridatic wars, so we've got that going for us, which is nice. As mentioned in the episode, I have added the link to the Amazon Wishlist for those who wish to help with acquiring resources.

Gamarjoba everyone! We are back to the narrative, and I present to you Pharnavaz I, the first Georgian king of Iberia. It's so nice having accumulated a ton of sources during our literary break so I can bring this out to you. The episode will be in 2 parts, the first covering the historical portion of what we do know, and the second covering our new source, the Kartlis Tskhovreba, or the Life of Kartli, which is a medieval chronicle that compiles these events. It's also where we get the most information from, so I do warn several times that it's not the most accurate.

Please enjoy the episode, and I can't wait to continue on!

Gamarjoba everyone! Pleasure to have you back here. This is part of our myth series, where we will take a look at different myths of Georgian origin, that involve Georgians, or are just plain old awesome Georgian tales. This time we'll be taking a look at the legendary Warrior hero, akin to the likes of Achilles, and chained just like Prometheus, Amiran! We'll be reading the story of Amiran, translated by Shorena Kurtsikidze and Vakhtang Chikovani, followed by a discussion with Brendan. Enjoy!
