Armenian elements were added to some of the monuments of the rich material and cultural heritage of Azerbaijan's history on Balatapa mountain, they were Armenianized, and the rest were destroyed and demolished.
In the 1960s, when plowing was carried out in those areas, inscribed basalt tablets with the sign of the cross, reflecting the Albanian culture of the II-I centuries BC, were found on the Balatapa mountain in the north of Narimanli village. On the bank of the Baghda river flowing at the mountain's summit (10-20 m away, adjacent to the ancient settlements), during the excavation work, a piece of stone, the size of a "jamish yataghi", was discovered at a depth of 1.5 m, with human bones (humerus 2 m), a large head with upside-down jaws on white teeth and 3 pottery jugs (30 cm) were found. 100 m away from there, 20 pieces of stone (height 50-70 cm) were sunk into the ground in the row called "Jarga stone". That area was protected by the community as an inviolable, specially protected (historical) place. This place was close to the houses of Hasan Azim oghlu Garashov (1958-2018) and Alamdar Alasgar oghlu Abbasov (1936-1986).
The "Armenian" specialists who came to the place from Iravan to study the monument also said that the inscription does not belong to them. It shows that the monument and the inscriptions represent the Albanian-Turkish cultural heritage.
