Aryan birthplace of mankind
"the most beautiful race"

Definition of ORTHOGNATHISM: the quality or state of not having the lower parts of the face projecting. Last edited by Togar mah; November 6th, 2013 at 12:30 AM. |

Kings regarded them as reliable guardians of the Caucasus Mountains and the northern border of the kingdom. In the battles Khevsurs wore flags adorned with crosses and considered themselves permanent members of the army of the sacred flags and guardians of Georgian Kings. Khevsurs are mentioned in Greek, Roman and Georgian sources before the formation of European crusades, and the pure European origin of Khevsurs is not supported by most modern scholars. They are mentioned in several manuscripts as participants of several battles against the Muslims in Georgia (100 "Frankish" Crusaders participated in King David's army in the Battle of Didgori). Teutonic Knights? One of the more striking features of the traditional cultures of Khevsureti was the premarital relationship known as sc’orproba. As a young couple could lie together during the night with a sword placed between them. Sexual intercourse between the pair was strictly forbidden. Any man who breached this rule was condemned to death. |

The Khevsurs have preserved a tradition: they consider a certain man by the name of Gudaneli as their first ancestor. The treasury is still kept in the high mountains around Mutso waiting for the chosen one to come.
