Although I had a very basic idea about the location of the Caucasus mountains, I had no knowledge about the fascinating archeological and cultural history of the area. Now when I hear about these countries I have a much greater appreciation for the complexity of the past and present in the region.
I learned so much about this important area of the world, from the language to the geography and migration of people from Africa to this region. Truly captivating.
Excellent presentation about a very interesting part of the world. We learned a lot!
