In pre-Islamic Iranian mythology, the Caucasus is
one of the possible locations of the mysterious Ring Mountains. The world-spanning mountain range, behind which lies the "infinite nothingness", as they say. This is already mentioned in the Epic of Gilga-mesh.
A similar cosmogonic idea also exists in many
myths of the Altai peoples of Central and North Asia. 
Although other mountain ranges besides the Cau-casus could be considered, the linguistic proximity
of the Persian words Qaf, or Kaf, Neo-Persian Kūh-e Qaf or Kuh-e Kaf ("Mountain Kaf", Persian كوه قاف), Old Persian Kapkafk or Arabic Ǧabal al-Qāf speaks in
favor of the Caucasus,
 

The photographs were taken in various regions
such as Khevsuretia (ხევსურეთი), the land of gorges,
Tushetia (თუშეთი) with its old fortified towers or the area around the Pankisi Valley (პანკისის ხეობა),most of whose inhabitants are followers of Wahabi Islam
.
