- Nowhere else on Earth is the difference between the tranquillity & beauty of the physical world and the brutality & disorder of the people who live in it brought into such sharp contrast as it is in the former Soviet satellites that span the gap between Europe & Asia. Nagorno Karabagh. Ossetia. Abkhazia. Ingushetia. Chechnya. Dagestan. Who’d even heard of them before the 90s? Nowhere has the millennial thirst for independence combined with exploding nationalism to such deadly effect as it has in the new nations and ethnic enclaves of Caucasia. And right in the middle of them all lies Georgia. Today it’s a place trying to emerge from the iron grip of the Kremlin but once it was a land of mystery and dragons… This is where Prometheus was bound to his rock. Where Medea cast her spells. Where one of Noah’s sons set up house after the biblical flood. Where Jason went in search of the Golden Fleece.

This series really does embody the old adage, "It's the journey, not the destination..." All the amazing little "sidetracks" in this roundabout journey are simply amazing and fascinating!
And what's perhaps part of the fun is how it makes you imagine what all of this must have looked like thousands of years ago.
🥰
This show is equally random and fascinating in the same measure. Every schoolboy's adventure fantasy. Love it.
As a child I never missed an episode of Jason and the Argonauts on Australian radio. Did you know that British actor Sir David Jason chose the surname Jason because like me he was awestruck by the story of Jason and Argonauts? Now you are on Jason's journey. Thank you, David. This is such a pleasure!
The world is a fascinating place, rich in different cultures, history, and traditions.
What kind of people who dislike exciting and informative documentary like this?
Another remarkable journey through parts of the world, few of us outsiders would ever see, to investigate the legend of Jason and the golden fleece. Thank you again David Adams for your efforts.
A very interesting documentary, very good style.
Couple of things:
1. Alexander the Great was never defeated and he did not enter the Caucasus area. In fact after Asia Minor and Egypt, he was in a hurry to get to Persia.
2. Like somebody here already mentioned, Medea helped Jason go through the challenges given by her father the King which she did against his well and ran away with Jason.
If we look at Medea being Jason's anima helping him through the task, in accordance with the archetype David follows Jason's footsteps with the help of the lady ethnologist that is his anima in his story.
After Egypt didn't Alex get beat by a girl in Ethiopian.
I wonder why that gets forgotten.
It looks like a love story developed along their journey, in am unexpected way. The convergence of his expedition and her getting to terms with her rich heritage flourishes love. I love it. 💗❤️
rumor is he hit dat
Well said. I speculate that, too.
It seems they most likely bumped uglies.
I would've quit that gig at the border, and stayed with her.
Yeah he really lucked out with her
OMG! I've viewed all the *David Adams Documentaries I can find on here!*
Get to work David - More Please!!!
Do the roar...!
Wonderful tale and beautiful footage. A lot of Greeks immigrated to Georgia in antiquity. The people certainly have a Grecian resemblance This was a very well-done report by a talented and courageous reporter.
I thought a LOT of the people who appeared in the video looked very Roman (Greek?). I mean, they could have posed for statues! I am very glad someone gave my idea a tiny bit of proof...

Georgians supposedly are an old, pre-Indo-European race. Akin to the Basque, Sardinians, Corsicans and inner Sicilians. Idk though.
Until Islam took over most of Georgia for some time they were probably even more similar.
@@zuuzuuka cannot be as original people of all Europe were black. Alot of these people resemble the Romans who were all mixed races.
I absolutely LOVE your channel! I feel SO honored to be let in on a Lot of this worlds cultures, races, religions, legends, & heroes of yesteryear. Keep up the GREAT work!
I AGREE ... THEY ARE REALLY PUMPING THEM OUT !

This series was made about ten years ago, my guess would be originally for SBS or ABC the Australian television channels. It's not being made for or by this channel only licenced, the same goes for almost every other video they upload
Maybe the girl was hired, but I still think she had a crush, and he said he would call her when got to some town. How mysterious. I love it.
Look at the body language and her facial expression in particular when they separate at the border. Plus the sunglasses so we don't see the pain in her eyes. Yes, you are spot on, the poor girl had a crush, couldn't agree more
She was beautiful I would of stayed with her for sure
@@kevinbillows432, indeed!
Gotta admit - she's certainly attractive, as well as amazing guide.
Of course she was hired and it was all rehearsed! What are the chances of finding an ethnologist who knows English just when he needs one??? You can see i'm not exactly very romantic! 😃
I love David's videos! I care for my, basically bed ridden, 97yr old Dad. I have him on a steady diet of David Adams videos amongst other videos of history and historic places. So much better than my Dad's former diet of AM propaganda talk radio 24/7. Goodbye Dan Bongino, Hello David Adams! 👍🏼😊
I love the bit when David's in the spa and he's looking at the guy next to him just like 'hey buddy'
When David Adams delivered his History Adventures & stories I was absolutely thrilled to follow him - love History & so many tales delivered in this way was so interesting & one could get carried away with the fanciful tales of Mythical Stories. Thank you for sharing Davis Adams.
This video is not the first time I've read or heard that the legend of the golden fleece has a small kernel of truth to it. A few years ago, I heard or read someplace that for years, the legendary kingdom called Colchis, where Jason and his Argonauts went to capture the fleece, was located in the country we now call Georgia. In addition, the gold prospectors use sheep or ram coats to collect the gold flakes in the streams as a form for gold panning. But this video is the first time I've actually seen how that sheep skin was used in such a way to collect the gold on the skin.
Lmao I love the English “For Sale” sign, from a non-English speaking “salesman” 😂🤣. Interesting set up for the beginning. Love these though
that ethnologist lady is very special .
Oh yeah...they totally had some chemistry going. Bravo! A real life story of meeting a sort of mate...a person you click with mixed with circumstances of mystery and adventure which only fuels the flames of romance... the kind of encounter you'll think about often and remember the rest of your days.
In my head now they are married with kids and going on grand adventures. ✌️🙌🏴
I lived in Georgia for a year and a half, mostly wonderful memories of it, so weird watching this doc now, which is 20 years old and a decade before I was there, but it feels like its almost exactly like I remember it. The winters though, so brutal, I could only handle the one...
I was instantly hooked to this channel time line what an awesome collection of documentaries but this series of David Adam's journeys to the ends of the earth and other documentries of David Adams gave this channel more awesomeness simply the best documentaries I've ever seen Plz keep uploading this series or any other docu's from david Adam's Plz Plz Plz ❤️❤️❤️ and once again the best channel so far for documentary lovers like my self.
Adam,i am 60 never even seen the nook and vorners of my own village,a deep scar on my soul made me quit,BUT,today i see,i understand and i enjoy the world in my hands.thanks and god bless.🙏love from india
Your videos have mesmerised me. I am happy to see the world alongwith u.
As principle, we should keep in mind the mytholigical narrations written by travellers of yor had a grain of reality but their excitement made them mysterious.
The georgian guide lady was such a human whom you should have not left behind. She was a perfect companion of yours.
And the Man who should have been for life head of UNO is sitting there in abscurity/mist in hills of Azerbaijan.
Love for all of you from Pakistan😍😍😍
Still better love story than twilight...
Aayee
Started with the Incan episode, then Iran, and now Georgia. This is becoming my favorite show!!
also for I💗🕊️🌴
ive noticed that what this guy does for a living as a documentary host is basically go on vacation, meet some cool people, see some awesome stuff and generally have a good time and create memories that will last him his the rest of his life. i want to do that for a living too. how do i do it?
This guy is a Poor Mans Michael Woods(?)
Become really smart so that people in the field you want to research can't deny you OR have a ton of money and fund these yourself OR have an amazing personality so as to get hired by a documentary company to be their spokesperson.
sadly: be a babe. but that is risky.
His name is David Adams. I bet if you contacted him he'd give you some great ideas.
You just see the fun edited stuff and not the making of the sausage.
I am also from Georgia an I am very proud of it. God bless you all
Peace......from Michigan
looks great to visit.
What a beautiful country and people!
You folks must be related to us !
Irish American - Basque/Irish 🍀🌎🍀🌍🍀
I live in Alabama - next to Georgia....oops my mistake!
Had no idea the gold in golden fleece was related to gold panning. So the golden fleece was not golden but gold was embedded into the fleece to make it look like it was gold.
Lol, so wrong yet so funny
That may be after the fact, however, Jason's second trip to asia and to the ends of the earth may have been to Samal Island particularly in Humunu island where Prixus sacrificed the Golden Ram to the Gods. It still may be there and wherever it is, it is said the the continent where is lays is rich in mineral and natural resources. Isn't Maharlika-Philippines, known as Ophir or Tarshish, the Islse of gold? Am the Maharlika Monarchical Head. FB: Hrh Paduka Shah Arpa-V.
i grew up reading Jason and Ulises... and i now see, and so should you: 2 - 3 - 4 thousand yrs ago the rivers ran w a lot of gold - the Golden Fleece would be one totally jammed w gold nuggets... to the point that a king would further jammed the natural screen w gold dust. likely quite an article for those fascinated w gold. tronald would hang it in his wall, say
The story of Jason and the Argonaut's was a tale of early trade (opening of trade with the countries around the Black sea) and of discovering new technology (the plow) as well as adventure.
Thank you, David, for this film as well as for all your films. I enjoyed them very much. All the best to you!
This is a awesome documentary well worth watching and learning about history. Very well made. Love it.
Most remarkable journalism. Exceptional presentation. Thank you.
Wonderful history! I had not known/realized that the story takes place around Transcaucasia. What rich and ancient cultures they are.
Nice documentary! was probably filmed like 15-20 years back, there are no more vendettas or illegal killing going on in Georgia, it has developed very much :)
Its not good to forget traditions and pinciples vendettas has made them strong
I would say filmed no later than five years ago.
You are correct, this documentary was released in 2001.
@@wyllowraven Thank you for the update.
@@wyllowraven Thank you, Sheila. David states in this documentary that he was in Georgia 10 years prior to filming this documentary, and at that time he was there when the first president of the independent Georgia, Zviad Gamsakhurdia, was elected. That was in 1991. I was there. Those were very difficult times: Russian government cut out the major gas supply, and previous economic infrastructure had completely collapsed. People had to stop driving cars due to the gasoline shortages. We could only get electricity for a few hours per day. There were huge food shortages and we were all starving. My heart was broken to see how skinny my parent became suddenly. My dad kept "Slimfast" packages by his bedside donated by the US humanitarian agencies, and my mom was hiding a chocolate candy under her pillow...Fortunately things are so much better now.
Fantastic, I loved every single second of this documentary, I do love history but, have no idea of the connection about Jason and golden fleece, and Georgia .Thanks so much David ,I know is not easy at all what you do .CONGRATULATIONS !
So happy I found these wonderful adventures, such a great host, and brave too!
Fantastic documentary!!! I truly enjoyed it!! Thank you!
Had some of the best wine ever in Georgia. Absolutely beautiful country and people!
Love watching these, the music goes incredibly well with the narration, and the scenery well, INCREDIBLE!!!!
Amazing documentary. Always love David Adams. Thanks for sharing.
I never thought going into this quest to find the golden fleece, that this love story would develop but it made it much more interesting and fun...thanks
This is the greatest documentary I’ve ever watched! It’s awesome on so many levels. Lol
This was filmed sometime in late 1990s - early 2000s. Both Georgia and Azerbaijan changed a lot since then.
How do you know? What evidence is in the video?
@@the0point I'm from Azerbaijan.
The quality of this footage certainly does not look like it was filmed in the late 90's/early 2000's.
@@the0point Baku skyline at 44:14 is the best evidence. It was filmed before many modern landmarks were constructed. You cannot see Carpet Museum or Mugam Center on Baku boulevard, modern buildings of Hilton and Marriott at the other end of it, as well as many others.
@@ad101276 I was actually right. This was filmed in 1999. See here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Journeys_to_the_Ends_of_the_Earth
Amazing and very insightful.
Thank you David. 👍🙏
Just downloaded the 1963 movie Jason And The Argonauts, always a favorite.
This guy's livin my dream. Keep on keepin on pal.
This was a wonderful and fun documentary. Thank you!
I love your style, David.
Now I want to go there! Such an interesting documentary. 💕
It has changed a lot, still beautiful though. This was filmed in 2000 or something.
@@optimusprime5199 2001
My Grandson is a beautiful boy named Jason. I've always loved this story. We studied a lot of Greek mythology in school back in the day 💜
Thank you so much for uploading this video. It is helping me get through the pandemic!
Luv this Vid, very interesting. 💚👍
These honest history documents by Adams are amazing and interesting so thanks sharing
Love you and your show's,and how you get right in with the people.
What a great adventure, thank you!
You are leaving the dream, my friend 😊👍
Great work as always folks!! 👍👍
Such adventures are what dreams are made of..Jason and the Argonauts is still remembered today..thankyou..⭐
Awesome video’s thanks for sharing
Great video, thanks.
How documentaries should be done - aged now but still superb viewing
That was really good. Thanks.
Super
Best documentary about Georgia
Many love to you David ❤❤❤
And thank you
The soundtrack on these videos make them mythical , I love it.
Very interesting, thank you.
What a beautiful country. I never knew.
This guy is like a golden Greek god
Excellent piece and very enjoyable
More David Adams?? First an awesome date now this? Plus I've been promoted at work recently. Sometimes the world is a wonderful place my friends.
Sometimes it really is awesome.
It was fleece per say . It was actually old wool blanket to collect the fine flour gold at the bottom of sluice boxes ,it worked very well to collect gold . I have used it myself and got in a couple of hours in a hot spot 3 grams of gold on an area 12" x 9" square of just wool blanket and no riffle . Yes using fleece (wool Blanket ) works
What a fabulous documentary, what scenery … Georgia is one fascinating country.
Timeline documentaries are good. Very engaging presenter. Good window into the local life.
I miss David Adams Documentaries. they are well done and very interesting. I keep watching the old ones this one is my 3rd time.
This country has it all. Beach resorts, wonderful nature and mountains, history and of course wine. I wonder why more people don't visit.
15:35 I really enjoyed the singing ,dancing and costumes worn by the people in that village.
That was good do more
instead of the motorcycle they should have just ridden in the same van as the camera crew
True, but it would have seemed less romantic..
A lot of commenters had problems with this presenter. Maybe he's fake, but the Caucasus isn't. What a beautiful region!
@@tdsims1963 True. I live in Tbilisi now. nice town
@@tdsims1963 yeah something about him just rubs me the wrong way. Cool doco tho
it would be less fun
@@tdsims1963 He's not a historian or an expert, he's a former TV journalist who has created his own company that produces a variety of adventure travel films. It seems people want every presenter to be in the style of Sir David Attenborough but there'll only ever be one of him.
i was looking for a medusa documentary, this actually helped me more understand her myth
Stunning!
Big,big big hug for Georgia 😍😍😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
He has the coolest life! I always feel bad for the foreign animals who are underfed. Wish I could help them all.
That’s why I can’t watch a lot of these things.
Very enjoyable!
Awesome David and great people 🌍❤️
I found this really interesting and would recommend it for anyone who ends up on this page
Beauuutifuuul traditional dancessss
What an interesting people. They have their traditions but they also have oil wealth so they should do alright. I just keep thinking of that Beatles song "Back in the USSR" "..Moscow girls make me sing and shout, and Georgia's always on my my my my my mind." I'm glad they're not under Russian rule anymore. Long live Georgia.
I'm glad to know people still like the Beatles!
My God I live the white album!
Love, maybe I do live it also, not sure
thanks
Excelente programa muy profesional e interesante. Adicional 😍😍😍😍Precioso. Que Guapo!!!. No haber estado alla para traducir 🤭🤣🤣
Beautiful area - fascinating viewing..
discovered this channel yesterday now am addicted
Thank you for this expedition upon my dreams. My life so simple this part globe 🌎 just magical. 🙏
This dude meets a beautiful guide that shows him all around Georgia and he doesn't even try to smash. Absolutely haram.
How do we know that they didn't?
There's only so much vicarious living on the internet I might care for. I think I'm good, bro. You lot carry on without me.
Admiral Buttwallace dental hygiene must not be an imperative for beauty in your opinion. I guess that’s why it’s in the eye of the beholder even if no one else sees it
Just back from weekend in kutaisi (30Euros return from Vienna !) Interesting place great food and wine!! People were very friendly = Thought origin of the legend is that the mountain people pan for gold using sheepskin which traps the fine but heavy gold particles.
The similarities of the culture and the towers with that of Mani in Greece is fascinating
Greeks and georgians were very very close in the antiqur and before
Lol, the bike wouldn't fire for the owner but before he hands it over he reached down and turned on the fuel tap, hey presto, fired up first kick 😂
Did he go back and visit the lady? That would make an interesting story.
“I’ll call ya”. Yeah… I’ve heard/said that before!!!! Poor lady never had a chance. He’s a machine.
Hey that "chance" meet up at the market seems set up....ya think 😜
I think so too
Of course.
Georgians are my kind of people good hospitality
David Adams produces the most interesting exotic and harrowing travel documentaries.
Wonderful journey, staged as it was... and he hit that.
Also, three-legged-horse 34:48
That song of sorrow at 30:46 was potent.
NO “BLEEP” .... & I jv brought it up so many times in last few months.
I was doing research about the ship that carried the fleece,
it’s constilation, it is in three parts. ⭐️😽💋
Did David ever called up that beautiful iranian guide that he had such great chemistry with?
Yeah, we all want to know! 😂😘😘💜💜😂😂
