Episode 6 – Pharnavaz I, King of Iberia – The History of Saqartvelo Georgia
Gamarjoba everyone! We are back to the narrative, and I present to you Pharnavaz I, the first Georgian king of Iberia. It’s so nice having accumulated a ton of sources during our literary break so I can bring this out to you. The episode will be in 2 parts, the first covering the historical portion of what we do know, and the second covering our new source, the Kartlis Tskhovreba, or the Life of Kartli, which is a medieval chronicle that compiles these events. It’s also where we get the most information from, so I do warn several times that it’s not the most accurate. Please enjoy the episode, and I can’t wait to continue on!
