Ukraine's First Lady Olena Zelenska made a post on her Instagram
page related to the Gobustan State Historical and Artistic Reserve,
Azernews reports.
“When you choose a language on a foreign site, where there are a
dozen options available, but there is no Ukrainian... When during a
trip you go to a museum and ask for an audio guide, and they shrug
their shoulders: only Russian... I think many of us know the
feeling in this moment: as if the weight of your language and your
country is being diminished,” writes First Lady on her Instagram
page.
She noted that it is very important that Ukrainians will no
longer have this problem.
According to the First Lady of Ukraine, this is one of the
reasons for working on the introduction of Ukrainian audio guides
in outstanding cultural monuments.
“We want the whole world to hear our language. There is good
news - 50 Ukrainian-language audio guides have already appeared in
32 countries. These are 50 places of extraordinary cultural and
historical significance that sounded in Ukrainian,” concluded
Zelenska.
The Gobustan State Historical Reserve, which dates back to the
8th millennium BC, never ceases to amaze everyone with 600,000
petroglyphs. Gobustan rock carvings were discovered in 1939 at the
foot of the mountain Djingirdagh and on the top of Yazili Tepe. The
rock engravings depict primitive men, animals, battle pieces,
ritual dances, bullfights, boats with armed oarsmen, warriors with
lances in their hands, camel caravans, and pictures of the sun and
stars. These unique petroglyphs were recognized as UNESCO World
Heritage Sites in 2007.
