Creator endowed the ancient land of Azerbaijan with marvelous polychrome and diversity. Golden seaboard of gray Caspian, shady woods with spring waters, salubrious mineral sources, unique mud and salt caves, majestic ancient mountains, alpine grasslands and crystal-clear waterfalls. Graceful gazelles whirling away like arrows, noble steppe dears. Oriental hospitality of our people and tasty Azerbaijani cuisine increasingly attract people in our country to rest here, take delights in brilliant, inimitable tints of our land, to touch lightly to the ancient past and sense the wonderful present. Azerbaijan is one of the oldest hearths of civilization. Culture of Azerbaijani people goes back into the depths of millenniums. "Father of history" Herodotus (5 century B.C.) noted that wonderful monuments of culture were created on the land of Azerbaijan in the ancient times. Rock paintings in Gobustan, Nakhchivan, Kelbajar, Absheron, archeological finds in Azykh cave, this world's oldest human settlement, etc. are an eloquent testimony to aesthetic manners and views of ancient ancestors of Azerbaijanians throughout many centuries. The ancient Country of Fires has suffered many losses and hardships. It has repeatedly been put on trial, gone through severe hardships, but it stood the test and revived like mythic bird Phoenix.
