Claim of the biblical descent of the Bagrationi dynasty
Okay, imagine a very long time ago, there were people called Georgians who lived in a place called Georgia. One family, called the Bagrationi family, was very important and powerful in Georgia. They were like kings and queens.
Now, the Bagrationi family claimed that they were descended from someone very important in the Bible. Have you heard of the Bible? It’s a very old book with stories about God and Jesus and other important people.
Anyway, the Bagrationi family said that they came from a man named King David. He was a very important king in the Bible, who was said to be related to Jesus. So, the Bagrationi family said that because they were related to King David, they were very important and special too.
Lots of people believed them, and they ruled Georgia for a very long time. But some people disagreed and said the Bagrationi family was lying. They thought the family was just making up their family history to make themselves seem more important. But we don’t know for sure which is true.
