The site presented you is
dedicated to one of the actual problems of
Azerbaijan archeology, to the study of
inscriptions found on the rocks. The site
informs us about Gamigaya images’ religious and
mythological content. The clerical and
mythological looks which have been forming for
thousand years constitute the basics of the
governance of the ancient societies. After
emerging of social inequality and formation
state these looks have been serving for the
reign of governing classes and for the
protection of sociopolitical stability. As the
mythological model of the world was the same in
all nations, together with benefiting from the
world scientists’ experience it has also been
counted expedient to study the Gamigaya
traceries from the position of mythological
world outlook of Azeri Turks.
Because the influence of Eastern civilization
for thousand years has left a deep influence on
the folklore and ethnography of Azeri Turks
connected with this region. This fact shows
itself to a high extend during archeological
researches of the monuments.
The resent investigation works carried
out in study of Gamigaya monuments are worth to
be distinguished. On August 2001 by our
ex-president highly esteemed Heydar Aliyev’s
special assignment and care it was carried out
an investigation and expedition work in Gamigaya
in close cooperation of Azerbaijan National
Academy of Science and the Institute of
Ethnography with a Nakhchivan branch of the
Azerbaijan National Academy of Sciences and with
Nakhchivan State University.
Despite all these works, which were carried out
we, cannot count the research of this monument
be finished. We do hope that this site, which is
prepared about Gamigaya from the viewpoint of
its historical importance, will be very
effective to fill the gaps existing in
Azerbaijan electronic space related to this
place.
