|---|---|
Gobustan Rock Art Landscape is located in the semi-desert of eastern Azerbaijan, south of Baku. There are more than 6,000 rock engravings dating back 40,000 years to the early Stone Age. The art depicts animals, plants and humans, with scenes of fighting, dancing, hunting and travelling in boats. The site also features graffiti left by the armies of Rome and Alexander the Great and the remains of human settlements and burials. The surrounding landscape is also noted for its bizarre mud volcanoes, structures only a few feet high which spew liquid mud into the air.
