TAMGALY

'Tamgaly' is a petroglyph site in the Semirechye of Kazakhstan, some 20 km downstream from the Kapchagay Reservoir on the Ili River in the Anrakhai mountains. The name ''Tamgaly'' in Kazakh means painted or marked place.
Tamgaly is located 170 km. to northwest of Almaty. The majority of the petrogylphs are in the main canyon, but there are a number in the many side canyons. The petrogylphs are mostly Bronze Age, but in some cases have been overlaid with Medieval or later etchings.
Tamgaly became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2004.
