However, based on certain parameters of these stone roads, including the number of grooves, depth, and width, it appears they might not be suitable for carriage wheels.
He notes that these stone roads extend towards the village of Shikh, or towards the southernmost point of the Baku bay, reaching the water's edge.
[1][3] In the 20th century, stone roads were discovered in the "Kurgan Desert" located between Hovsan and Turkan, later extending around Dubandi, Gala, and Surakhani.
The stone roads around Turkan pass near mounds dating back to the 3rd-2nd millennia BCE and areas where ancient settlements existed.
In June 2022 stone roads located near the Kurgan Desert and the Turkan Settlement were disrupted by a company conducting work in the area.
[8] Following this incident, in July, the Minister of Culture of Azerbaijan, Anar Karimov, conducted an inspection of the "Kurgan Desert," "Turkan Settlement," and the historical stone roads, issuing directives for their preservation.
