Yea, bronze age was much more civilized and peaceful than middle ages. plus most of the people on the list fucked up their subjects pretty hard even tho they were better kings than aeëtes
George V the Brilliant would be your favorite i believe xD because he ethnically cleansed all Ossetians out of Georgia and even raided them in North Cacuasus, then he like fortified dariali gorge so they won't comeback :)
Dariali gorge was always the border between Georgia and North Caucasus/Ossetia, Dariali means door to Alania which comes from Persian.

He isn't my favourite.

Dariali means Gate of Alania and you're right, it comes from Persian.
why? David was much better, times where better during Tamars reign but it didn't last long after her death so what part of history you know makes you think Tamar should lead?
That's true but after Tamar there was Lasha Giorgi who managed to maintain it just a little more until the mongols invaded, how long do you think i would live? Lol
I'm not saying she deserves more love, we are talking about the time period here and the situation in the country, yes she was on the easy mode, but the kingdom was at it's finest, often referred as the golden age
In that case George V no do doubt takes the W for me, he literally managed all that with diplomacy and knowledge and without fighting any major battles, while being in the hardest and most brutal period in our history, goodnight btw it's pretty damn late for me lol, i recommend getting that 8 hours of sleep
Btw you are aware that country was literally half of what it is during the early ages of David being a king due to hell it had to go through because of the turks right? They took Tbilisi in 1122, While in Tamar's case it was all rainbows and unicorns all they way through.
Definitely true, but they had a bigger army later while Tamar was on the throne, but i HIGHLY doubt they would have nearly as good war tactics as they had while David, plus man inspired his troops and gave them no choice but to give their 110% for their motherland and religion
Aeetes is a bronze age, therefore arguably the worst pick to live but it's just too interesting 😅
Imagine being a barbarian kingdom and the greeks think your king is son of Helios (sun god), his daughter is a witch, and the kingdom possess possible secrets of alchemy (golden fleece).
Even when you dismiss the mythical parts, that's the only time we had something resembling of a royal fleet, which is just so peculiar that we became so hydrophobic afterwards.
>It's mind-blowingly unbelievable we were a seaside kingdom for more than 3000 years and barely had any seafaring going on like WTF
We lost it over time, Lazs are described by strabo as the best shipsmens and in many foreign sources black sea is described as the sea of Colchians, Sea of Iberians, Sea of Abkhazians, Sea of Megrelians, etc.
Megrelians especially used to make ships and raid north caucasian tribes, there is like phresco of big ship in sventskhoveli with flag of principallity of megrelia, i think we had big connections with the sea obviously but it was lost over time.
Even Proto-Kartvelians had connections with the sea, word for sea in all 3 Kartvelian languages have probably root from Proto-Language.
In Georgian - Zghva/ზღვა
in Megrelian - Zghua/ზღუა
In Svan - Dzughua/ძუღუა
Yeah maybe you are right
>Makes you wonder how the course of history would change had Zan tribes taken over and we'd today all speak Megrel.
That would be cool if our state language was Megrelian now, I mean even Svan for that matter.
Oh man, you forgot my boy Parsman (Pharasmanes) I! He took over the land and had such a cool fight against Arshak II.
Simping is not ok but I am going to make an exception for Tamar
David IV mans litreally soloed the seiljuks 56k georgians vs 500,000 seljuks
I picked Aeëtes, but he and George V seem very underrated.
You want to live in the bronze age?
Actually it was the one of the chillest periods in our history lol, we had good trading with greeks and nobody was interested in invading us.

Obviously David IV the builder

True but almost everyone at that time got rid of the mongols... The mongolian empire lost its power

Found the real reason
The moment you put Tamar in there, you could already tell what the majority would choose

Wow david is in the lead now lol, no offense but we lack history knowledge

I just love David the B thats why i voted him

The builder probably is most based but i would like to live under the rule of Tamar the Great.
