Zartonk Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 (edited) I'm glad to see a proper academic approach towards the petroglyphs. When it comes to ancient artifacts, our own pseudo-historian's make the Aliyevbaijan UNESCO entry of the "ancient Azeri" Gobustan complex look legitimate. Now let's just see how long it takes Baku to bribe the whole world against this initiative. Edited May 23, 2013 by Zartonk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
