How History is taught in Abkhazia?

In georgia we are taught that Apsua North Caucasian people came from mountains to abkhaz land in 15th- century when georgia was fractured and weak. Main argument is that Abkhaz kingdom was feudal already in 9th century while Apsua in 19th century russia are still in tribal system. And also their is no sign of etnic or language difference in abkazia before 15th- century

Just want to know what you think about it and what you are taught. And what are you arguments. Not to fight or say that i am right you are wrong.

Yes, almost all of the medieval maps are considered to have many inaccuracies. It is ignorant to think and make claims otherwise.

I don't understand you! You claim, well, the old maps are all far too inaccurate and the Georgian churches were built by Absuas. But we're supposed to believe some old stories? That's why it's so difficult to discuss things with you, because you deny simple facts. And why did the Abkhaz kings write and continue to write Georgian? Oh, you were illiterate, but you could have founded an Abkhazian kingdom and conquered all of Colkhetia. The first attempt to annex eastern Georgia, or rather Iberia, came from the Apkhazian kingdom! Well, what do you say to that? And why did you move the capital to Kutaisi? A small Abkhazian people who spoke Georgian ruled all of Georgia?

Typical all same themes answered here many many times. It is all right, I don't expect you to understand anything since you have been thought tailored history in your schools as OPs question indicated. It is not your fault.

And what do they teach you in school? Only mythology and the last few centuries of your history. You're just like the Russians; you can only emphasize the last few centuries, since there's no evidence at all that the Abkhaz Empire belonged to the Absuas. Sooner or later, the truth will come out, whether we like it or not. But the fact is that Colchis was the oldest kingdom, if you can call it a kingdom. The Alans, Armenians, etc., came later. And the North Caucasians attacked the South Caucasians or Georgians when we were weakened and fighting with the Arabs, Turks, or Iranians...
