Tamgaly petroglyphs
The Petroglyphs within the Archaeological Landscape of Tamgaly have been a UNESCO World Heritage site since 2004. In a gorge of the Chu-Ili mountains, some 5,000 carvings cover the dark rock faces.
The oldest panels date back to the Bronze Age: hunting scenes, animals, dancing figures and sun-headed figures. Around them, tombs, enclosures and remains of settlements bear witness to the site’s ritual and funerary use.
