Archaeological monument

The mound graves in the village of Naraduz remained in the western part of the village until the deportation of Azerbaijanis in 1988. Since they date back to the Oghuz Turkic period, the mounds were destroyed by Armenians after the Azerbaijanis were expelled from the area.

In the west of the village, the ancient burial mounds - Oghuz graves, which remained untouched until 1988, attracted attention with their amazing dimensions. It was officially scientifically established that the jewelry found in those mounds during excavations conducted with the participation of Moscow archaeologists before World War II was approximately 3,500 years old and that the gold used in those jewelry was qualitatively identical to Zod gold.
The village was originally inhabited by Azerbaijanis. Armenians were resettled in the village from Turkey after 1828.

The fact that the archaeological samples in the mounds are 3500 years old is a fact confirmed by archaeologists all over the world. The toponym is an orotoponym formed from the combination of the word "nori", which means "smooth rock, deep valley, cliff" in Turkic languages, and the word "düz".
