Zhetysu is truly an amazing place that has preserved traces of ancient civilizations. It is worth noting that this is why most of the monuments of Semirechye have recently become protected by the world organization UNESCO.
Our region is famous for the fact that it has preserved the largest number of petroglyphs that testify to the culture and life of the Huns and Turks.There is practically no area in Semirechye where there is no rock art. There are 50 rock art centers in the region.
The largest and world - famous center is the Tamgaly Museum-reserve. In this wonderful archaeological complex, guests of Semirechye can get acquainted with the culture of ancient tribes.
There are about 3 thousand images in total. They all depict tribal life and daily activities, as well as religious beliefs. This is evidenced by many images of people with the sun on their head. There are also a number of drawings of animals. They were left behind by generations of master artists.
Archaeologists, cultural experts, art historians and tourists are frequent visitors to nature reserves and centers. The fact is that it is believed that the development of these places was conducted earlier at a low level and does not give an idea of the life of the local peoples who inhabited Zhetysu several millennia ago.
