Georgia and Iraq – Similar, yet a bit different

Byzantine influence I guess?

თითიდან გამოწოვა ინგლისურად როგორ არის 😂

ჰეჰ, რაც მანდ ქართველებმა დაატრიალეს მონღოლების დროს…

both places have churches, mountains, buildings and knives. yeh basically the same country

I think Iraq is one of the most majestic countries on earth, literally the birthplace of civilisation. Truly a beautiful land with wonderful culture and a strong people. But there are very few similarities with Georgia.

Picture 1 – thats an Armenian church, which are very few in Iraq.

Picture 2 – apart from the fact that both of those are free standing mountains, there are no similarities, in shape, in flora, even in altitude.

Picture 3 – those are just 2 men in wildly different cultural attire, though the dagger is sort of similar.

Picture 4 – literally the only thing those balconies have in common is that they are roofed, but even the roofs are very different. I did look up Iraqi balcony culture, and I didn’t find better examples of similarity. Though I have to compliment your balcony culture, like wow, those are really nice.

Yes because there have been influences definitely exchanged. The Baghdad Caliphate ruled Georgia for a long time. There have been many Armenians in Iraq and in Georgia. The Persians have had a big influence in Iraq(both Shiaism and Zoroastrianism) and have also had that on Georgia. Iraq is home to the Yezidi Kurds and Assyrians which Georgia also has populations of
