Ethnic Georgians call themselves Kartvelebi , their land Sakartvelo (საქართველო - meaning "a place for Kartvelians"), and their language Kartuli (ქართული). According to the ancient Georgian Chronicles, the ancestor of the Kartvelian people was Kartlos, the great grandson of the Biblical Japheth.
Like most native Caucasian peoples, the Georgians do not fit into any of the main ethnic categories of Europe and Asia. The Georgian language, the most pervasive of the South Caucasian languages, is neither Indo-European, Turkic nor Semitic.
The terms Georgia and Georgians appeared in Western Europe in numerous early medieval annals. The French chronicler Jacques de Vitry and the English traveler Sir John Mandeville wrote that Georgians are called Georgian because they especially revere Saint George.

You cannot see many grandiose cathedrals with golden cupola, do not have huge buildings and gilded palaces...But,when you see nature you delight with it's beauty,variety of landscape,flora&fauna, when you enter to even a little church,you feel soulful beauty, when you listen polyphonic folk and choral singing,you go to another dimension,when you see spectacular,fierily and at the same time graceful dance you became prisoner of ART and culture....
