Written By Nurana Hasanova

The empire of Shirvanshahs has been home to many ancient societies and cultures being located at the cross roads of economies, cultures and languages. The whole of southern Caucasian region demonstrates unique example of intertwining histories of people who for thousands of years kept their traditions alive and struggled for their national identities. Caravans of men and streams of thought constantly enriched the empire of Shirvanshahs that lead to mutual interactions, acculturations, assimilations and influences of different cultures, ideologies, arts and crafts, resulting into the making this empire the mosaic of a incredible composite culture.
