Gobustan Reserve. The largest collection of rock paintings-petroglyphs made over thousands of years, bride kidnapping, hunting, fishing, rituals and dances in which almost the entire tribe participates - all this is captured.

There are short sayings in Arabic: "Came, prayed, left" and even images of men in turbans.
