A significant incident unfolded on August 27, 2023, as a rock collapse sent shockwaves through the serene surroundings of the medieval Shio-Mgvime Monastery in Mtskheta, Georgia. This historic monastic architectural complex, nestled within a narrow limestone gorge along the Mtkvari River, faced an unforeseen landslide, prompting visitors to hastily evacuate the premises. Fortunately, initial reports indicated no immediate casualties, allowing the focus to shift towards search and rescue efforts. The dramatic event was captured on video, revealing a massive cloud of dust that billowed into the air, shrouding the entire gorge in a veil of particles. The monastery, located approximately 30 km from the capital city of Tbilisi, now stands as a testament to the unpredictability of nature's force and the resilience of human heritage.
