The ancient Celtic name of Scotland
was Alban and the biggest mountainous island in Scotland is Arran
(Alban and Arran are the names of historical districts in Azerbaijan).
It is possible that people occupied the island were from Arran
(Azerbaijan) and consequently named the new native land Arran. Also
they refer to a relic as "vatan" ("native land" in the Azerbaijan
language). By the way, that till now in Agdam district of Garabag
(which included Arran-Azerbaijan) there is a village under name
Shotlani (Scots).
Resettlement of people from Azerbaijan to Northern Europe
affirmed by great Norwegian scientist, archeologist, historian,
anthropologist and traveler Tor Heyerdal. He compared and found
similarities in stone drawings in Gobustan near Baku and on
mountains of Sweden. Reviewing the content of the Norwegian saga
about the Asa Odin, he has established, that at ancient times
Norwegians under direction of Odin moved to Scandinavia from the
country Azer which are being to the south of the Caucasian mountains
and to the east of Black sea. And the people (Vikings) has named
their new country Nor Wey (northern way). Now it is obvious, that
research of relations between Vikings and people occupied ancient
Azerbaijan and ways of distribution of the general culture demand
further and deep studying. |
