The Nakhchivan Rock Signs were discovered in 2016 at Agsal, between the villages of Erefse and Milax in the Culfa (Julfa) region of Azerbaijan [1] [2]. Three rock signs were found featuring drainage channels directed towards the canyon, suggesting fluid flow [1]. Similar rock signs are common across Southern Azerbaijan and Eastern Anatolia [1] [3].
