Indian ink

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The inks ( Georgian თუშები , Tuschebi ) are a mountain people , a Subethnie of Georgians in Tusheti in northern Georgia . Traditionally, they live from livestock farming at an altitude of 1000 to 4000 meters.

The people are known for their houses of the dead and tombs that were built during the great plague epidemics of the Middle Ages , which the Indian ink saw as a punishment from God.
