The tower and the inscription on the tower still remain today and are presented by Armenians as a "Persian monument"

In the tower in the village of Ashaghi Talin (now Dashtadem), there is a tower inscription written in Kufic letters in the name of the Seljuk vassal Shaddadi Ani emir Sultan ibn Mahmud, who dominated the region. The inscription on the castle reads: "In the holy month of Safar in the year 570 (September 1174), God rewarded the owner of this magnificent tower, the Amir Ulu Spasalar, who was the Sign of Faith, who popularized Islam, the son of Sultan Mahmud, the son of Shavur." Only Azerbaijanis settled in the village and 248 people lived here in 1873, 253 people in 1886, 418 people in 1897, 376 people in 1908, 400 people in 1914, and 471 people in 1916. In 1918, the village was attacked by Armenians, Azerbaijanis who were local residents were deported from their historicalethnic lands, and Armenians who were relocated from Turkey were resettled.

The toponym is derived from the word "ashaghi", which means a distinguishing sign in Azerbaijani toponymy, and the Turkish word "tal" which means "willow tree, willow bush" and the Turkish word "in" which means "hut, coma, cave, kaha". It is a phytotoponym. It is a structurally complex toponym.
