Gobustan

It is only 70 km. from

Baku to this interesting place which can be described as a museum in We open air, where

rocks covered with drawings stand amidst a chaos of stones and mountains. There are more

than 4,000 rock drawings left by artists of the Neolithic period. They depict the customs

of ancient tribes, hunting scenes and dances, the way they filled the ground, their

everyday life. The range of themes is wide and the vividness with which they are executed

can well evoke envy in a modern artist.

Near Mt. Beyukshad there is a large,

stone- enclosed circular plot with an altar in the center, where ritual ceremonies were

held. Not far away on the mountain side is a Latin inscription carved no less than 2,000

years ago. Long after you have left Gobustan you will remember the drawings that have come

down to us from the remote part.
