Archaeologists have been stunned by laboratory results which have proven some writing, thought to be the oldest in Georgia, is actually the third oldest writing ever found in the world.
The writing dates to the 11th or 10th centuries BC, making it 3,000 years old.
The site of Grakliani Hill, where the writing is located, sits on a hill near a main road, close to the town of Kaspi, and was discovered in 2007. Human activity in the area goes back to 300,000 years ago.
Unfortunately no one has any idea what the writing says or what form it is using, but it is still a remarkable discovery and, excuse the pun, rewrites the history of writing.
