Our recent trip on July 13, 2022, as the International Office of Khazar University to the “Gobustan State Historical and Cultural Reserve” was awesome!
The trip was attended by students, the coordinator of the International Affairs Office, and our Erasmus+ intern from Turkey. The main purpose of the trip was to preserve cultural heritage, and promote and recognize historical monuments.
Importantly note that, in the south of the Absheron Peninsula lies the Gobustan National Historical-Artistic Reserve. Its monuments cover a huge historical period – from the Mesolithic to the Late Middle Ages.
Gobustan with its many rock paintings seems to be a unique stone book, whose pages tell of the lifestyle, occupation, religious beliefs and early art of people who settled here thousands of years ago. In fact, it is the chronicle of one of the centers of the world civilization embossed on rocks.
A huge “thank you” goes out to our students who made the trip more enjoyable!
