[2][independent source needed] A.I.Brozgul wrongly dated a complex to the 12th century, and I.P.Sheblykin mistakenly called the mausoleum “Shah Babali”.

A kufi ligature on the mausoleum drew N.V.Khanikov's attention in the middle of the 19th century, and he called the village “Babili” in his work and “Bab” in an album.

Later this ligature was fully decoded and included in the volume of a publication of Arabic-Persian-Azerbaijani language inscriptions of Azerbaijan.

[3] In the summer of 2011, archaeological excavations of the mausoleum began by the order of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism of Azerbaijan.

Khagani Almammadov - leader of the expedition informed that ruins of Sheykh Babi khanegah were also found near the mausoleum, which had been initially used as a caravanserai and afterwards it was used as a mosque.
