The System of Traditional Nutrition of the Population of Ganja City. Food and Drinks.

Azerbaijan's Gobustan Rock Art Cultural Landscape, a UNESCO site, reflects the region's millennia-old cultural and economic significance. This study reveals that traditional Azerbaijani nutrition, rooted in agriculture and cattle breeding, has been shaped by favorable natural conditions and historical interactions with neighboring cultures. The research highlights how ethnographic studies, including rock art analysis and oral folk epics like 'Koroglu' and 'Ashig Garib,' provide unique insights into the cultural identity, social structures, and economic practices of Azerbaijanis. These findings underscore the importance of preserving intangible heritage, such as epics, which offer invaluable perspectives on language, religion, and daily life not documented in written sources. The study also traces the evolution of Azerbaijani ethnography as a discipline, from its colonial-era roots to modern research, emphasizing its role in understanding the region's rich cultural landscape.
