Rock art

Prehistoric people represented their world and beliefs with visual images which they carved or painted on cave walls and rocks. Some of these carvings, like the Tamgaly petroglyphs in the south-east of Kazakhstan, are incredibly beautiful.

Few rock art sites anywhere in the world can match the beauty and variety of Tamgaly. The rock carvings were discovered in 1957 during an archaeological expedition in the Chu-Ili mountains organised by the Kazakhstan Academy of Sciences. When archaeologists explored the area around the Tamgaly Gorge, they found more than 5,000 petroglyphs. Most of the rock art is located on the eastern slopes of the gorge – there is less on the western side. The earliest petroglyphs date back to the 14th century BC. They are more than 3,000 years old!

Many of the carvings are quite large (25 to 75 cm) and can be seen from far away. The artists used stone and metal tools to create these unique works of art. There are a few images of people, but most of the oldest carvings show animals. For the people who lived in the Bronze Age, the bull was a symbol of power. During the Iron Age, equestrian tribes settled in the area and some of the bull carvings were replaced with images of horses. There are also petroglyphs showing deer, camels, wolves, wild asses, mountain goats, wild boar, and a few birds.

The Tamgaly petroglyphs are very special because they are from different historical periods: from the Bronze Age and the Iron Age through to the Middle Ages. There are also some carvings of horses and goats made by Kazakh shepherds in the 19th century. Little is known about the people who created the older petroglyphs, but archaeologists hope to learn more about them by studying the ancient settlements found in the area.

But why did prehistoric people create these petroglyphs? There has been much speculation about the reasons and there are many theories, but none of them provides a good explanation. We will never really know why these images were carved in the rocks. Perhaps prehistoric people used art as a way to record stories and communicate ideas, but it is quite possible that they just wanted to create something beautiful.
