Additional quotes by Johann Gottfried Herder
კიდევ უფრო სავალალოდაა საქმე ქრისტიანულ საქართველოსთან დაკავშირებით. აქაა ეკლესიები და მონასტრები, პატრიარქები, ეპისკოპოსები და ბერები; ქალები ლამაზები არიან, მამაკაცები გულიანები; და მაინც, მშობლები შვილებს ჰყიდიან, ქმარი საკუთარ ცოლს, თავადი თავის ქვეშევრდომთ, ღვთისმოსავი კი სულაც საკუთარ მღვდელს. მეტად უცნაური ქრისტიანობაა გავრცელებული ამ ხალისიან და ორპირ ავაზაკთა ბრბოში

Herder (1803) objected that "the pains that have been taken, to make of all the people of the earth, according to this genealogy, descendants of the Hebrew, and half-brothers of the Jews, are contrary not only to chronology and universal history but to the true point of view of the narrative itself." As far as he was concerned, "the central point of the largest quarter of the Globe, the primitive mountains of Asia, prepared the first abode of the human race" (517-18).
