Caucasus in 800: Urartu / neighbors
Caucasus is introduced through language and place in 800, under “Urartu / neighbors.” The figure kept with that is 800. Do not line people up as better or worse. A population figure is not a cultural score. Modern wars are political; culture pages are not scoreboards of nations.
Mountain isolation plus long settlement — not a racial museum. A discarded racial category. Do not confuse it with Caucasus peoples. Georgia’s qvevri tradition is among the world’s oldest attested wine cultures. Stuffed vegetables, breads and herb pastes cross community lines. Armenian, Georgian and others are distinct literary traditions.
Anatolia; Persianate; writing-systems atlas. See diversity pages for clines — never as country-level score talk. Neolithic horizons in the wider region. Early state Christianization traditions. Caliphates and successors contest valleys. Ethnofederal policy freezes categories. Tourism and IT scenes remake cities.
Relief fragmented polities and preserved language islands. Empires taxed valleys without erasing local law everywhere. Kartvelian, Nakh-Daghestanian, Abkhaz-Adyghe and Indo-European languages neighbor. Russian and Turkish remain regional lingua francas in places. Long toasts and supra hospitality in Georgia are social theater.
Say Caucasus with 800, “Urartu / neighbors,” and 800. The figure is not a grade of people.800
