Dmanisis Gora

Archaeologists Uncovered a 3,000-Year-Old Hidden Mega-Fortress in the Mountains

  • Researchers used drone imagery to analyze the full scope of a massive, 3,000-year-old fortress in the Caucasus mountains.
  • Digitally stitching together 11,000 images, they created a complete map of the Late Bronze Age fortress.
  • Archaeologists hope the tens of thousands of artifacts buried at the settlement will help tell the story of the people who once lived there.

When researchers first surveyed the ruins of a Bronze Age fortress in the South Caucasus in 2018, they had no idea they were only seeing the tip of the iceberg.

But after stitching together 11,000 drone images, they discovered that the 3,000-year-old Dmanisis Gora was likely the largest fortress of its kind in the region.
