Ancient stone monument found in Lenkoran, Azerbaijan
A stone monument with an image of an unusual animal, similar to a dragon on it, was found in Kosalar village of Lenkoran, Azerbaijan.

The animal has a crown on its head with fire coming out of his mouth.

According to archaeologist Javanshir Hasanzade the age of the stone with the image of a dragon is at least 2,000 years.

He said the discovery is an anthem of the Girkan state on the Ptolemy's map. The ruins of ancient buildings were found in this territory.

They locate at an area of 2 hectares. An underground tunnel of 3 meters in height and 1 meter in width was discovered during the digs in 1988.

Due to the tense situation in the country, no studies were held there. The underground tunnel is in four directions. The west part of the tunnel extends to 6 kilometers to the ruins of Bellebur tower.
