Scientific paper
The present paper reviews the fundamental achievements of ancient Georgian astronomy and the dynamics of the process by which the Georgian astronomical world view developed in the period from the sixteenth century BC to the eighteenth century AD. It is during this period that the Georgian astronomical world view both formed and became fully developed. The author of the present paper divides this extended period into three shorter periods: an archaeological period, a transitional period, and a period of systematics. The characteristics of these three periods are cited. The paper also presents various facts and other information that illuminate the life and work of Georgian astronomers as well as the functioning of ancient Georgian astronomical and other scientific institutions. Several Georgian astronomical manuscripts are mentioned and described in brief, and a number of other questions are also discussed.
