Paysage culturel d’art rupestre de Gobustan
Azerbaïdjan
Located in Azerbaïjan, this cultural landscape encompasses an extensive rock art site featuring petroglyphs that document human activity and cultural expression across multiple periods. The site is characterized by thousands of rock carvings depicting hunting scenes, animals, and human figures that reflect the region's prehistoric and ancient populations. The mountainous terrain of Gobustan provides the natural setting for these engravings, which are distributed across numerous rock faces and outcrops. The rock art represents significant archaeological evidence of the cultural and economic life of successive societies inhabiting the Caucasus region. The visual and historical significance of these petroglyphs, combined with their landscape context, constitutes a mixed heritage site of anthropological and archaeological importance.
