The absolute Legend has pumped out yet another banger of a video. There are still many ways to improve but your videos are already very enjoyable and informative, especially since your videos cover topics no one else really talks about. Keep up the good work
As a Georgian it makes me incredibly happy that you made a video about Georgias one of the most powerful and important figure King David IV the builder ,alongside with other great kings he truly built the country’s economy and town life.Thank you I really appreciate the effort you put into making this video
19:20 😭😭😭😭Can anyone listen to this without tears? His last wish was to be buried at the entrance of the church so that every visitor would step on his grave, as if he were nothing-perhaps even the greatest of sinners. This was the man who built an empire, the strongest state in the world at its time, and saved many groups from disappearing from history. And yet, he started from almost nothing-a raided, small, nominal kingdom with no proper army or towns. This kind of humility is beyond average Christian philosophy. He was truly the sword of the Messiah, if not the Messiah himself. Christlike figure (but with big f-ing sword😄).
Yes also Farsman "Qveli" means something like charitable was a great king the romans had a statue of him in Rome, and after the change of leadership in rome and some political problems Farsman opened up the gateway to huns and Rome fell soon..
Once again another great video, you did our greatest monarch complete justice. Although I'm still not the biggest fan of your singing-like voice and narration, your content and especially the script of them is still phenomenal and you deserve way more praise for that than you currently get. I agree with you completely on the point that David's Georgia was an empire. Although it never bore this title, it in practice was one. Georgians in general were militaristic, but pretty non-expansionist and didn't enlarge their core territory outside of Georgian-majority lands, outside of which they were mostly just fine creating protectorates and vassal states, expanding their sphere of influence without annexation _(Which does kinda suit the definition of an empire I suppose)._ Armenia was an exception because they needed liberation from the oppressive Seljuks and were pretty chill about unification, bless them. Who knows how much better off this caucasus-spanning empire would have been, if not for them bloody Mongols! This is a bit off topic but in theme with the mongols, I actually wrote a fun alternate story about what if Genghis Khan had died 20 years early, after unifying the mongol tribes but before establishing his efficient military reforms, leading to a powerful, but relatively weaker Mongols, who bounce off and miss the caucasus, heavily weaken Khwarezmia but never destroy Baghdad, and devastate the Rus but fail at Kiev. It creates a power vacuum in the middle east that both Georgia and Byzantium exploit, the devastated eastern rome survives and lives on a weakened self, meanwhile Georgia, fully united with Armenia (Yes, Silesia included) and Trebizond, forms the empire of _Caucasion,_ which sets it up for entering the world stage as a worthy, but tame and backwater great power. Just a cool thought I constantly wonder about, because frankly, the history of my country *deeply* depresses me. It took not one, but _two_ genocidal nomadic invaders at their prime to bring down Georgia and trample its struggling body, but these were the two genocidal nomadic invaders that *DID* arrive...
@@NickAndriadze that sounds like an incredible alternate story, I too have wondered “what if the mongols didn’t destroy Georgia” thanks for watching!!!

He was truly one of the greatest monarchs and generals of all time. He didn't rule over one of the largest empires so, his name may not shine through like many others, but he made the most out of what he was given. He inherited a country in the worst situation both internally and externally. He became the king of a shrinking Christian county in the region where the mighty Christian Byzantine empire had pretty much fallen and Armenia had completely fallen. He saved Georgian and Armenian nations from completely going extinct. Georgia and Armenia are not large countries, but we still exist. Both nations with unique history and culture and still Christian, thanks to that 16 year old boy who ascended to the throne of Georgia in 1089.
Slight correction, David IV died in 1125, 4 years after not the year after from the battle of Didgori, year after he retook Tbilisi from 400 years of the arab rule.
idk what it is about me being an american but i am just sooo fascinated by georgian history and what could’ve been. i really feel like they had a chance to conquer constantinople if the mongol invasions didn’t happen.
Thank you for the video. Huge respect for admiring the history of Georgia.

Thanks for your job,Hello from Georgia.
It gives me some kind of relief that history of Georgia is gaining some recognition

"Tho Georgian Kingdom never was an institution of Empire, it was a Kingdom which held Empires undrer it's vassalage"🔥also a big thanks for the video .
@@levanikojulakidze5213 yes but basically an empire yes?
@StoicHistorian hmm maybe but then empires always come to the end, Georgia on other hand last eternaly to this day, but sure why not.
Looking forward to this one. Thanks for the New Years drop!
Hope you and your family have a great upcoming year.

The ecstasy I got from seeing that you uploaded yet another Georgian history video is not normal T_T I’m so happy
Great video as always!

The title of “Rus” probably comes from principality of Tmutarakan
🇬🇪 Georgians and 🇦🇲 Armenians Christian Brothers
5:24 It’s not a story a Turk would tell you.
Of course, just like Armenia 1915.

king david will defeat goliath again and again. georgia forever
13:36 david was called the king of rus because the tmutarakan principality were his vassals
I see
Great video
