What is the earliest evidence or theorized date, that humans belonging to the Georgian cultural and linguistic family inhabited the Caucasus?

There are many different peoples in the Caucasus, but Georgians speak a language that is not part of the Indo-European language family. Given that Georgian appears to have developed independently in the region, my question is: How far back do historians and archaeologists theorize that Georgian-speaking or Proto-Kartvelian peoples settled in the Caucasus?

Oldest ever found remains of modern bread wheat, 8000-year-old, found in Gadachrili and Shulaveris Gora, in the country of Georgia.

A new archaeological study on the Neolithic sites of southeastern Georgia, where the oldest remains of wine were once found (also ~8,000 years old), has now shed light on the history of modern-day bread wheat.

Researchers examined evidence from several sites in Kvemo Kartli, southeastern Georgia, and found an unusually diverse assemblage of wheat.

Among the identified wheats are Triticum monococcum, T. dicoccum, T. carthlicum, T. durum, T. spelta, T. compactum, and T. aestivum, including several hexaploid wheats.

Interestingly, researchers also identified ancient evidence of Aegilops tauschii, the will grass that contributed the D genome to modern bread wheat. They argue that the coexistence of these potential ancestral lineages in the same Neolithic landscape provides important evidence for Georgia as an independent center in the emergence of bread wheat.

It is highly likely that the South Caucasus was one of the places where the genetic combination that eventually produced modern bread wheat arose, and where the earliest remains of modern bre wheat have now been found.

Is there a site where I can find the images of the archive of Georgia without the watermarks?

Just as the title says, preferably without having to pay for them, any help is appreciated :)

How do you Render?

I mostly draw Lineart and feel pretty confident with it, but as soon as colour gets involved I struggle hard and it doesn’t come out right, also the eyes seem wonky:/ Any help is appreciated and maybe some drawovers to compare too would be huge :)

The planned rehabilitation of Rustaveli Avenue, starting Juli 23 and presumably ending after 4 Months.

Here are the project plans and some satellite
Imagery to compare it to :)
The Rustaveli Avenue rehabilitation is a 2-kilometer infrastructure overhaul featuring:
Underground Overhaul: Replacing old sewage, water, and gas networks, and burying all overhead cables.
Mobility Upgrades: Adding a new bike lane and accessible sidewalks while keeping the road width unchanged.
Beautification: Installing LED lighting, planting trees, and adding underground waste containers.

Most recent drone images of Narikala Fortress?

So I wanted to ask if there are any people that now of the most recent images of Narikala and the progress on the rehabilitation? If there are an images such as this (this ones a few months old) receiving them would be greatly appreciated:)

My latest WIP of an european twin city, that’s supposed to look very pre-war. Maybe some of you can decipher which city this is based on:)

The Plans for this Restoration where released early January of this year and most Buildings have already found experienced Contractors (which are responsible for many other restorations in Georgia). It's interesting to see how the finished Project is going to look like.
What are your thoughts on this Project?
Here a link to all images:
