Azerbaijan - Khinalig - medieval mountainous village

 Khinalig village is the highest residential area of Azerbaijan. Located at the highest level in the Great Caucasus Mountains of Azerbaijan, this village is inhabited by the Khinalig people, who are considered Caucasian minorities. Archaeological findings and historical studies prove that the village’s area was inhabited for about 4 thousand years ago, dating back to Bronze age. A few scientific investigations of the area allow the connection between Khinalig’s past and the Caucasian Albania. In addition, this mountainous area is very rich with paleontological materials revealing marine fossils in high mountainous area. Khinalig people speak their own unique language.
