"The city of Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia, was founded by the king
Vakhtang Gorgasal in the 5th c. AD on a site that had been inhabited al least since Neolithic times. The site is still famous for the
hot springs which to all appearances gave the city its name: in Georgian tbil-i means ‘warm’. According to the Georgian legend:
King Vakhtang Gorgasal was hunting in the forest. Suddenly his
falcon caugth a pheasant. The bird fell into a hot spring and
made sound and became well again and flew away. The king gave
orders to build a city on this site."
