A question for Herodotus-readers:
Why did the the Greeks decide to take the Kolchs on revenge (Medeia's kidnapping) for the crime the Phoenicians did to Greeks (Io's kidnapping)?
Answer: because Phoenicians and Kolchs were the same people to Greeks! Do "the same people" speak the same language? You bet.
And now, the big stuff...
Do you know who was the first to call Jesus (whom we now as 'Iesa', which, in its turn, is present in the Georgian surname of 'Iesashvili') with the name of Christ? It was the Saint Peter. Both Iesa and Simon (Peter) were born in Galilee. Which is Hanaan. Which is Phoenicia. Which is the land we have more than once proved to be Kartvelian-speaking.
That's how it happened:
"On the way He asked his disciples, who they thought he was... Peter said: "You are Christ"...He replied: "Go away, devil, you are thinking human, not divine...".

The word 'Christ' is widely considered to be of Greek origin, meaning 'anointed', which somehow corresponds to the Hebrew 'messiah'.
Now a question: what language are two people born in Galilee chattering on their way along a Galilean road? I bet, not Greek. I bet, their native Galilean language. I claim (as I did many times) it was Kartvelian.
Now, do we have anything reliably Christ-similar in Kartvelian languages? Yes, we do. It's the verb ხრის [hris] meaning 'bending'.
And now Philippians 2:10 (a book of New Testament written by St. Paul):
"...that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth...".

On the same link a commentor (Jamieson-Fausset-Brown) claims the word 'bow' in fact means 'bend' in token of worship.
Thus, Christ may be interpreted from Kartvelian point of view as 'bent to' (kneeled to, worshipped).
