Absheron
Breakfast
Leaving for a tour in Absheron peninsula. This day will be spent primarily within Great Baku, where You will be taken to main sites on Absheron Peninsula Ateshgah - the Fire Worshippers' Temple situated in the village of Surakhany. It was built on the land where natural gas was burned eternally by Zoroastrian believers who travelled from the province of Multan in India to worship. These ancient fires are believed to have given Azerbaijan its name, which is thought by some researchers to mean the 'Land of Fires'. Break will be visited to well preserved ancient castles of Absheron Peninsula dated XII- XIII AD and situated farther out from Absheron Peninsula. There are several fine medieval castles - one is in Amirajan and Nardaran and two in Mardakyan - apparently built for defense by the Shirvan’s Shahs in the 14-th century. Back to the hotel, leisure.
Gobustan
Breakfast
This day is devoted for visiting to Gobustan reserve. Gobustan is an open-air museum with littered Neolithic rock drawings. Just 65km in the South of Baku, Gobustan has some 4000 inscriptions that go back 12,000 years (with some 2000 year old Latin graffiti to boot). You can see a lot of drawings made by Stone Age folks on the rocks, which reflect the daily life, especially as they were hunting and liked boogie. Their dances are thought to have been accompanied by the melodious strains of the Gaval-Dashy (Tambourine Stone) - a rock that has a deep, resonating tone when struck. The well-preserved sketches display ancient populations travelling on reed boats; men hunt antelope and wild bulls, women dance. The famed Norwegian anthropologist Thor Heyerdahl returned many times to Azerbaijan between 1961 and his death in 2002 to study the site, which he argued to be evidence that modern-day Scandinavians migrated north through the Caucasus in prehistoric times. He found similarities in the drawings to those found in Scandinavia, particularly some in Alta, Norway. According to Icelandic Sagas, written in the 13-th century, the Norse God Odin (Wotan) migrated from the Caucasus in the first century AD.
