JOJO’s wonderful trip.

Kutaisi is the ancient capital of Georgias true sense. It is the capital of the most powerful Bagration dynasty in history. However, due to the invasion of the Ottomans, the ancient city was destroyed by war. Two of the remaining worlds are listed as world culture. Religious architecture of the heritage ------ Grat Abbey and Bagrati Cathedral. At the beginning of the 11th century, the huge Arab empire began to fall apart; in the early 14th century, the Ottoman Empire began to rise in the Asia Minor Peninsula. Between the two imperial empire, West Asia has a great empire, Seljuk, which has a great influence on world history. It was its invasion that gave Georgia the birth of the greatest king in history, David IV. David IV led the Georgian people to drive away the Seljuks and was seen as the reincarnation of Michael Galle, one of the four archangels, dedicated to resisting the invasion of pagans. So the great priest built the Grat monastery for the king and painted many stories of angels and gods. The church was built, and a grand research institute was set up nearby, and famous theologians, philosophers, and jurists were invited to teach lectures. Many of these scholars are from the theological world. Tsinghua----Istanbul Mengen Abbey was dug up with a high salary. Transportation: There is a minibus from the old town of Kutaisi to the outskirts of Grat Abbey, just 20 minutes by car from the northeast corner of the Lado Meskhishvili Grand Theatre.
