Ancient sites and states of the Azerbaijani region 3600-ASAR-OW
During the lectures, the stages of the primitive communal system, cave
sites, stone art, the first tribal confederaсies in the territory of Azerbaijan
will be discussed. A certain attention is paid to the Turkic tribes who have
long lived in this region; interesting points of view put forward by some
scientists on this matter are also considered. Under the influence of the
Huns, Khazars, Oguzes, a certain historical process was formed in the
ethnic history of this Caucasian region. The emergence of the first state
associations, the history of the states of Atropatena, Albania occupy an
important place in the course of the lectures. The feudal split in Azerbaijan
between the beginning of the collapse of the Caliphate and on the eve of
the Seljuk invasion contributed to the emergence of various feudal
principalities here - the states of Ravvadids, Salarids, Shirvanshahs, etc.
This historical period is the final stage of this course.
The religious views of the Azerbaijani people were influenced by a variety
of schools of religion. One of the most ancient beliefs of this people is
Zoroastrianism - the worship of fire. Zoroastrianism, which originated here
in antiquity, in turn formed the basis for the subsequent liberation
movements in Azerbaijan - Manichaeism, Mazdakism and Khurramites. At
the same time, Christian traditions were strong in the north of the region. It
is interesting that, despite the adoption of Islam in the 9th century, the
traditions of ancient Zoroastrianism are still popular among the people
today. Sufism played an important role in the spread of Islam, which
occupied a special place in the religious life of medieval Azerbaijan. These
issues are also covered during the lectures.
