The Gobustan Rock Art Cultural Landscape (a National Park) hosts at least two of these interesting landscape features.
The appearance of the Zoroastrian religion in Azerbaijan almost 2,000 years ago is closely connected with these geological phenomena, and Azerbaijan’s etymology – Land of the Eternal Fire derives from its Zoroastrian history.
