[@William_Fields]

At 0:22, according to Bard AI the wall sculpture is a artistic work made of terra cotta by the famous Georgian artist Bernard Nebieridzeby between 1980 and 1985. It is reported to depict the history of Georgia. The work is titled "Kolkheti." This is Bard's full narrative: The bas relief wall in Kuraisi is a large, ceramic mural that depicts scenes from Georgian history and culture. It was created by Georgian artist Bernard Nebieridzeby between 1980 and 1985, and it is considered to be one of the most important works of art in Georgia. The mural is made of terracotta, a type of clay that is fired at a high temperature to make it hard and durable. It is 20 meters long and 5 meters high, and it weighs over 100 tons. The mural is divided into three sections, each of which depicts a different scene from Georgian history. The first section depicts the founding of the Georgian kingdom by King Parsman I in the 3rd century BC. The second section depicts the Battle of Didgori in 1121, in which the Georgian army defeated the Seljuk Turks. The third section depicts the life of King David the Builder, who ruled Georgia from 1089 to 1125. The mural is a stunning example of Georgian art and culture.

[@wayfarernick]

Zack is awesome! Thanks for the sub!

[@ChrisAastrup]

Always good to see both you and Zack. I’d visit that town if I went to Georgia

[@wayfarernick]

Yeah Zack and I have become good friends! Check it out and let me know what you think! Cheers!

[@gabriellagirardi4741]

Nice to see you and Zack!

[@wayfarernick]

Thank you! Hanging out with Zack is always fun

[@billhunnicutt3883]

Beautiful scenery Nick and the sky is so blue. Must be excellent air quality there with little or no pollution. Thanks and looking forward to future vids!

[@wayfarernick]

Thank you! It was nice there! The weather was pretty close to perfect. Tbilisi lately has been rain and thunderstorms.. and yes the air quality was much better than in Tbilisi. Cheers!

[@letter203ify]

Thanks Nick for bringing scenes from areas of the world so foreign to me. I recently drove through Pennsylvania and saw the off ramps they built for truckers in case they get out of control. I remember you explained that in another video in Georgia. Good video!

[@wayfarernick]

That's right! Yeah that was in one of Dari's videos. Hopefully you didn't need to use it! Haha thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed! Cheers!

@@wayfarernick it was on route 30 and I saw only one trucker and he wisely turned around at the start but I can see why trailers would have trouble on the 8% declines. I had to use the brakes a lot to slow down my Subaru. Same with going down the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee

[@wayfarernick]

@@vistalife yes I can imagine. Especially with all the extra weight trucks have.. probably a good decision to turn around

[@WakeUpPing]

Been there last week !

[@wayfarernick]

Nice! How did you like it?

[@WakeUpPing]

The way of life is just simple. Aside from the old buildings and nature na is the people. They are just very simple people. Early in the morning senior citizens come to the market and buy their groceries, then go to the park to have some little talks to their friends.Some go to the park to have a walk with their dog. Accommodations are way cheaper compared to big cities and their food as well. All in all I had the best trip in kutaisi but there was this traumatic experience which I will include in the vlog as well.

Ник привет! Хорошое получилось видео!!!

[@wayfarernick]

Спасибо!! Я рад 😊

[@jimmyryan5880]

Comes across a little snarky. Like the cable car never claimed to be the best every, its public transport. Yeah the residential street was quite, its a residential street. The bridge isnt a rollercoaster, its a bridge thats just a little more fun than mosr bridges.

[@ZKape-hx5wi]

I will be there soon....

[@wayfarernick]

Enjoy your time there!

[@bobweber3374]

Nick are other videos with that big Russian guy, Zack I think❓

[@wayfarernick]

Yes Zack and I made several videos when I was in Georgia, about half of my videos from Georgia feature Zack 😅

[@nyckolaus]

But did you or Zack find the Golden Fleece?

[@wayfarernick]

We did not.. what is the Golden Fleece?

[@nyckolaus]

@@wayfarernick It is what Jason and the Argonauts were searching for when they landed in Colchis. You and Zack must be the successors of the Argonauts. Just beware of Medea.

[@N.B62]

Georgia is a very nice and rivers everywhere sometime dirty sometime clean. Are you from mars?

[@crowcypher5821]

That is not a great way to put it.
