An ancient country that borders on the eastern edge of the Euxine (Black Sea) and is south of the Caucasus Mountains; best known as the land of the Golden Fleece and the realm of king Aietes (Aeetes).
The historian Herodotus asserts that the people of Kolkhis were descended from the Egyptians because of their physical appearance and the fact that when the Egyptian king, Sesostris (Rameses II), marched into Europe in the fourteenth century BCE, part of his army was either stationed in Kolkhis or deserted the army and founded their own nation.
