Now what we try, we prepare the treasury which will highlight all these finds. One part will be very earliest metallurgy, very earliest gold, - (it) starts around five thousand years old. Then we have fantastic finds from Vani which travelled all over the world where you can see jewellery and goldsmith form the Colchis (ancient Georgian kingdom) and the last part will be Iberia.
