Overview

Our actions, understanding of good and bad, the environment that shapes us – all these are genetic memory.

Georgian statehood arose at the junction of the two greatest ancient empires of Persia and Byzantium. The pure spirit of Christianity, which penetrated here in the first years after the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, supplanted the more ancient and seemingly unshakable believes in Zoroastrianism and in early antient local pagan gods.

We go to the ancient constructions of Mtskheta and the remains of the cave city of Uplistsikhe, which is already 3000 years old… We will discuss what factors influenced the formation of the spiritual component. What became the criteria for accepting some values and rejecting others.

How did the history of the Georgian kingdom develop, standing at the junction of two rich, but mutually opposing cultures of influential neighbors. How political components were reflected in cultural trends.

The spiritual, this is what became an important political instrument, either pushing people to valiant deeds, or overthrowing entire kingdoms.

This is the breath of bygone times, which for centuries has tempered the courage of the people defending faith and spirituality; this is all that the genetic code of Georgians carries.

Jvari Monastery, end of the VIth A.D.
Jvari Monastery, end of the VIth  A.D.

This monument has been protected by UNESCO since 1994. The reason for this was not just its age, but also the architectural features and construction technique. The place is also notable for its beautiful views. Here you can simultaneously admire the confluence of the two rivers Kura and Aragvi, and if the weather is clear enough, then you can photograph the Greater Caucasus with Mount Kazbek from observation platforms.

Souvenir Market of old Mtskheta city center- 40 minutes
Souvenir Market of old Mtskheta city center- 40 minutes

Mtskheta is a cozy town with tiled roofs and brickwork of two-story houses, in the courtyards of which you can see fruit trees and gazebos with grapevines. It’s nice to stroll leisurely between souvenir shops in search of memorable gifts, there are the smells of spices, a variety of traditional Georgian churchkhela, tea and honey.

Svetitskhoveli Cathedral XI A.D., Mtskheta.
Svetitskhoveli Cathedral XI A.D., Mtskheta.

Scientists date the current cathedral to the beginning of the 11th century; however, it stands on the foundation of a temple built when Georgia adopted Christianity. We will talk with you about the historical events that affected the architecture of the cathedral, about the relics and the stories of their appearance here.

Uplistsiche Cave Town

Uplistsikhe is a rock-hewn city, one of the oldest settlements in the Caucasus with a 3,000-year history.
Nowadays it is a historical and architectural museum-reserve. There are streets, squares, a sewer system, four gates, a secret tunnel leading to the Mtkvari River, a fence, and so on. It is currently considered an open-air museum.
It was first mentioned in written sources in the 7th century. In Uplistsikhe and its surroundings, archaeological and architectural monuments have been preserved, the oldest of which dates back to the Early Bronze Age and belongs to the Mtkvari-Araks culture.

Elon Musk stood next to President Donald Trump in the Oval Office on Friday, but the physical proximity belied a growing philosophical divide between two of the world's most powerful men, resulting in the tech mogul's abrupt announcement that he is departing Washington — without having achieved his goal of decimating the federal government. [url=https://kra33at.ru]kra33 at[/url] Trump took a more charitable view of Musk's tenure during a sprawling news conference in which he also declined to rule out pardoning Sean "Diddy" Combs, who is on trial on charges of sex trafficking and other alleged crimes; said he dislikes "the concept" of former first lady Jill Biden being forced to testify before Congress about her husband's mental fitness; and predicted again that Iran is on the cusp of making a deal that would suspend its pursuit of nuclear weapons. [url=https://kra--33---at.ru]kra33 at[/url] In a battle of plutocrats against populists, Bannon, a longtime advocate for reducing the size and scope of government, found Musk's methods and policy preferences to be sharply at odds with those of the MAGA movement. So, ultimately, did Musk, who broke with Trump repeatedly on agenda items as narrow as limiting visas for foreign workers and as broad as Trump's signature "big beautiful" budget bill — which Musk belittled for threatening to add trillions of dollars to the national debt. “I was, like, disappointed to see the massive spending bill, frankly, which increases the budget deficit, not just decrease it, and undermines the work that the DOGE team is doing," Musk said in an interview with CBS' "Sunday Morning," which will air this weekend. [url=https://kra-33.at]kraken33[/url] "I love the gold on the ceiling," he said. Musk has argued that inertia throttled his efforts to reduce government spending — a conclusion that raises questions about whether he was naive about the challenge of the mission he undertook. “The federal bureaucracy situation is much worse than I realized,” he told The Washington Post this week. “I thought there were problems, but it sure is an uphill battle trying to improve things in D.C., to say the least.” On Friday, he drew an implicit parallel between American government and the Nazi regime that committed a genocide, invoking the "banality of evil" that Hannah Arendt used to describe the atrocities in Germany. kra33.cc https://kra-33-at.ru

Scientists mapped what happens if a crucial system of ocean currents collapses. The weather impact would be extreme [url=https://pin-up-casino-online.kz/]pin up официальный сайт вход[/url] The collapse of a crucial network of Atlantic Ocean currents could push parts of the world into a deep freeze, with winter temperatures plunging to around minus 55 degrees Fahrenheit in some cities, bringing “profound climate and societal impacts,” according to a new study. There is increasing concern about the future of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation — known as the AMOC — a system of currents that works like a giant conveyor belt, pulling warm water from the Southern Hemisphere and tropics to the Northern Hemisphere, where it cools, sinks and flows back south. Multiple studies suggest the AMOC is weakening with some projecting it could even collapse this century as global warming disrupts the balance of heat and salinity that keeps it moving. This would usher in huge global weather and climate shifts — including plunging temperatures in Europe, which relies on the AMOC for its mild climate. What’s less clear, however, is how these impacts will unfold in a world heated up by humans burning fossil fuels. “What if the AMOC collapses and we have climate change? Does the cooling win or does the warming win?” asked Rene van Westen, a marine and atmospheric researcher at Utrecht University in the Netherlands and co-author of the paper published Wednesday in the Geophysical Research Letters journal. This new study is the first to use a modern, complex climate model to answer the question, he told CNN. The researchers looked at a scenario where the AMOC weakens by 80% and the Earth is around 2 degrees Celsius warmer than the period before humans began burning large amounts of fossil fuels. The planet is currently at 1.2 degrees of warming. They focused on what would happen as the climate stabilized post-collapse, multiple decades into the future. Even in this hotter world, they found “substantial cooling” over Europe with sharp drops in average winter temperatures and more intense cold extremes — a very different picture than the United States, where the study found temperatures would continue to increase even with an AMOC collapse. Sea ice would spread southward as far as Scandinavia, parts of the United Kingdom and the Netherlands, the research found. This would have a huge impact on cold extremes as the white surface of the ice reflects the sun’s energy back into space, amplifying cooling. The scientists have created an interactive map to visualize the impacts of an AMOC collapse across the globe.

Thanks for helping me to achieve new strategies about computers. I also hold the belief that one of the best ways to help keep your notebook computer in best condition is with a hard plastic-type case, or shell, that fits over the top of the computer. These types of protective gear are model precise since they are manufactured to fit perfectly in the natural casing. You can buy them directly from the owner, or through third party places if they are intended for your mobile computer, however not every laptop can have a spend on the market. Once more, thanks for your recommendations. https://www.magileads.com/ton-adopter-email-de-prospection-b2b/

I'm not sure why but this blog is loading incredibly slow for me. Is anyone else having this issue or is it a problem on my end? I'll check back later on and see if the problem still exists.
