Gobustan Rock Art Cultural Landscape covers three areas of a plateau of rocky boulders rising out of the semi-desert of central Azerbaijan, with an outstanding collection of more than 6,000 rock engravings bearing testimony to 40,000 years of rock art. The site also features the remains of inhabited caves, settlements and burials, all reflecting an intensive human use by the inhabitants of the area during the wet period that followed the last Ice Age, from the Upper Paleolithic to the Middle Ages. The site, which covers an area of 537 ha, is part of the larger protected Gobustan Reservation.
戈布斯坦岩石艺术文化景观
戈布斯坦岩石艺术文化景观包括三个部分，位于阿塞拜疆中部荒漠地区横空突起的岩石高原，这里蕴藏着近6000幅精美雕刻，让人们看到了4000年前的岩石艺术。在这里还发现了居住地和墓葬的遗存，表明人类在上一个冰河时代之后的湿润时期曾经在此地大量定居，时间从旧石器时代早期一直延续到中世纪。遗产占地537公顷，是范围更大的戈布斯坦保护区的一部分
