The first European girl displayed in Dmanisi museum30.06.2010.

The Georgian National Museum invites visitors to see the reconstructed 1.8 million year old girl at Dmanisi                    Museum-Reserve from June 27.

The French sculptor Elisabeth Daynes has reconstructed the whole body of the girl, who would have been aged around 13 or 14, on the basis of its bones, found at Dmanisi in 2001.

 Dmanisi archaeological site is a unique field museum located at the excavation site in Georgia. With its architecture Dmanisi preserves world famous archeological layers, provides favorable conditions for scientific studies and caters to broad public interests.

Dmanisi is the significant cultural heritage site that has been under the scientific research since the beginning of the XX century. Nowadays, this site is well known for the international public for its 1, 8  mlillion years old diverse hominid and animal remains.

During the last ten years 5 skulls and 4 jawbones of hominids were revealed in Dmanisi. There is no other site in the world, where scientists could discover so many hominid remains at the same time. The results of the Dmanisi site research aggravated a great interest in scientific society and completely changed the saga of the hominid’s migration from Africa to Eurasia.

Partners of the project are: BP, PSP and Borjomi. GPI Holding has taken on the responsibility of ensuring the safety of the first European young adult.
