Meeting Description:
The Conference aims to discuss the Georgian
Asomtavruli Alphabet as a highly complex system
of mathematical, geometric, astronomical,
chronological and religious systems concealed
in the interpenetrating layers of the
alphabetic mechanism. Presenters will also
focus on the analysis of various artifacts
concerning ancient scholarship, and the scope
of their geographical spread.
It is also the purpose of the Conference to
direct the attention of world scholars towards
the necessity of carrying out a systemic
examination of the knowledge encoded in the
alphabet. The latter embraces not only the
Georgian writing scrip, but also the world's
writing systems and huge scientific lore
accumulated in the history of mankind.
Working languages: Georgian, English,
Russian
