One of Kazakhstan's remarkable historical treasures is Tamgaly Tas, located in the Anrakai Mountains, approximately 170 kilometers from Almaty. These petroglyphs, recognized as a UNESCO heritage site in 2004, represent a captivating collection of ancient cave art. The sanctuary, housing these rock carvings, was discovered in the late 1950s and extensively studied from 1970 to 1980. Unveiling over two thousand cave paintings, these petroglyphs span various eras, from the Bronze Age to the 14th century AD, categorized into seven groups along the gorge.
