Uncommon card · No. 92242

The Chronicle of Georgia (Georgian: საქართველოს მატიანე, romanized: sakartvelos mat'iane) or History Memorial of Georgia is a monument located on Keeni Hill near the Tbilisi Sea. It was created by the Georgian sculptor Zurab Tsereteli in 1985 but was never fully finished. The monument sits at the top of a large set of stairs, overlooking the northern part of the city from different directions. There are 16 pillars that are between 30–35 meters tall. The top half features kings, queens, and heroes while the bottom part depicts stories from the life of Christ. Beside bronze pillars, there is a grapevine cross of Saint Nino, who first brought Christianity to Georgia, and a chapel.
