Buzeyir Cave, Prehistoric cave in Lerik Rayon, Azerbaijan.

Located on Delikli-Dash Mountain's left bank of Zuvandchay River, Buzeyir Cave extends 12 meters in length with a width of 5-6 meters.

Archaeological excavations conducted between 1953 and 2003 revealed five distinct layers containing Middle Paleolithic and Mousterian cultural artifacts within the cave.

The cave contains medieval, bronze age, and eneolithic clay dishes, demonstrating continuous human occupation spanning thousands of years in this region.

Scientific research indicates that Neanderthals who inhabited the cave had access to fifteen different animal species in the surrounding environment.

The cave maintains consistent internal temperatures and houses mineral formations that developed through natural geological processes over millions of years.
