Description
Qobustan, also known as Gobustan, is a historical region located approximately 64 kilometers southwest of Baku, the capital city of Azerbaijan. It is famous for its ancient rock carvings, which date back to the Stone Age. These petroglyphs, found in the Gobustan National Park, provide valuable insights into the life of prehistoric communities that inhabited the area more than 30,000 years ago.
The region is characterized by its unique geological formations and dramatic landscapes, including mud volcanoes, which are rare natural phenomena. Gobustan has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2007, recognizing its cultural and historical significance. The archaeological site includes more than 6,000 rock engravings, depicting scenes of hunting, dancing, and rituals.
In addition to the petroglyphs, Qobustan is also home to the Gobustan Museum, which was opened in 2010. The museum showcases artifacts discovered in the area and provides educational resources about the prehistoric period, including information on art, tools, and the evolution of human activity in the region.
