One of the most significant historical areas
of the world, “Baba–Darvish,” located in the
Gazakh district, is an ancient settlement. It
is located near the village of “Khanliglar.”
Archaeological digs took place here during
1958-62 and in 1966, and led to very interesting
finds from different historical periods.
The “Baba Dervish” settlement consists of a
range of five hills. According to archaeological
discoveries, it existed of the beginning of
the third millenium B.C. and its inhabitants
manufactured a number of objects and tools.

well as wheels made from clay from this period,
are of particular interest.
