Gobustan occupies the south-eastern spur of the Great Caucasian Range
and situated 60 km south of Baku. It is a monticulate semi-desert area
dissected by numerous gullies and ravines and Gobustan, in translation,
means "ravine land". Caves and rock outcroppings surround the region.
Settled since the Stone Age the area is one of the major and most
ancient museums of rock engravings (petrogliphs) in the world.
