The history of Kartvelian ties with Africa is not impressive enough until you recall Herodotus's story about the warriors of Pharaoh Sesostris, who broke away from his army on a campaign in Europe and settled in Colchis (modern Samegrelo). Elsewhere, Herodotus tells of how Egyptian warriors left Egypt in huge numbers and settled in Nubia. It is in Nubia that Ptolemy's map shows the toponyms of great value to Kartvelian history: Sacolca, Satakhta and others. One of them is still an island on the Nile in northern Sudan with the name Argo.
The Greek Argos is a city of Pelasgians, who were Kartvelians.
