Georgia, located in the Caucasus region, has been continuously inhabited since ancient times. Early kingdoms such as Colchis and Iberia established organized states centuries before the Common Era.Â
Georgia was also one of the first countries to adopt Christianity as a state religion in the 4th century. Despite invasions by Persians, Ottomans, and Russians, Georgian language and identity endured, preserving a deep historical continuity.
