History of the Kings & Patriarchs of the Georgians - Paperback

by Leonti Mroveli (Author), Giorgi Kapanadze (Translator), D. P. Curtin (Translator)

This medieval Georgian work details the ancestry of the Georgian kings, starting with Targamos, a descendant of Noah, who fathered eight renowned sons after the Tower of Babel's language division. Each son received a portion of land, establishing various cities in the region between the mountains of Ararat and Masis. The text emphasizes Targamos's legacy and the strength of his sons, particularly Haos, who ultimately leads a rebellion against Nimrod, the reigning king, asserting their independence and allegiance to the true God.
