Description
Whale Rock Zoomorph.
This large whale like rock near the village of Rangebar 130 km south of Baku has had its head enhanced to show a mouth and eye. It is around 140m long and makes use of a tilted geological limestone layer that is over a metre thick. A settlement is nearby with rock shelter, stone circle and graves nearby. The rock acts as an excellent landmark for ancient people navigating in the region when sea level was higher. The site has not been archaeologically studied.
