Description

'''Tamgaly petroglyphs, located in the Anrakay mountains at a distance of 170 km northwest of Almaty, gained popularity during the years of independence. Every year the number of visitors to this open-air museum and foreign tourists increases. In 2004, the monument was included in the UNESCO World Heritage List titled ''''Petroglyphs in the composition of the archaeological landscape of Tamgaly'''', emphasizing its high significance as the first monument of Central Asian rock art in world culture. Tamgaly is a real art gallery where the ancient masters left their works. Here you can find about 4,000-5,000 drawings belonging to different historical eras, including the Bronze and Turkic eras, as well as the early period of nomads. Many monuments of Tamgaly still remain poorly understood, so many questions about the history of this fascinating place remain unanswered.'''
