Descripción
Sumario:The first work of the collection known as the Georgian Chronicles (KÔartÔlis CÔxovreba), «The History of the Kings of Iberia» by Leonti Mroveli, contains an episode relating to a Khazar invasion of Transcaucasia in a remote past, some generations after the biblical division of tongues at Babylon. Despite its medieval background, which is analysed in detail, we try to see in this text a late version of ancient autochthonous oral traditions dealing with a great prehistoric migration of Iranian steppe nomads through the Caucasus, comparing it with Herodotus' reports on the Cimmerian-Scythian raids in Asia Minor and with reference to Gimirrajaand I©/A©kuzajain thestate archives of the Assyrian king Esarhaddon.
