Tombstones of Sundu village and sacred places

Abstract

Sunduvillage, which has an ancient history, is located at the southeastern foot of Caucasus Mountains, in 95 km north of Baku, at a height of approximately 750–800 m above sea level. The village is bordered by the other villages of Gobustan, by Jeyirli, Bekle and Nabur in the east, by Chukhanli in the south, by Khilmili in the north, by Tekle-Mirzebaba in the west. Cemeteries and tombstones occupy a special place among the material cultural monuments of Sundu village. Almost every tribe had its own cemetery here. For this reason, it is not accidental that cemeteries occupy a large place in the village.
