Information

It is noted that Abdalaghali village petroglyphs belong to V-VIII centuries. The area with the petroglyphs is located on the cliffs about 500-600 meters south of the modern geographical location of the village. Ram images are material proofs of the ancient history of Abdalaghali dating back to BC.

These examples of material and spiritual heritage, which express the pre-Islamic OghuzTurkic mystical beliefs of ancient times, are the historical heritage of Azerbaijan in that area.
