Welcome to Petroglyphs Kyrgyzstan.

“People usually feel funny, smile and laugh when I tell them 
about my strong belief in the very existence of prehistoric 
advanced technology and great civilizations of wilier races. 
I just can't wait to see their faces at time the truth is revealed”

Ancient Petroglyphs in Kyrgyzstan.

Kara-Kulzha Two petroglyph locations were discovered in the Kara-Kulzha district in 2005 by an expedition from OshSU (led by Zholdoshev K.). Concentrations of petroglyphs are 8km north of the Kara-Kulzha village, on the south-western slopes of the Uzgen range, in piedmont gorges (Kara-Zhylga and AkKiya) (over 3,000m above sea level).
About 500 drawings were registered in Kara-Zhylga and approximately 300 in Ak-Kiya. Most petroglyphs at both locations were then copied and photographed. According to the oral testimony of the first researchers, the Kara-Zhylga and Ak-Kiya petroglyphs, from the diversity of their repertoire, techniques, and relevance, belong to different historical periods.
Legal and physical protection is nonexistent, but remoteness and inaccessibility are a guarantee of good preservation. There is a need for additional study of the petroglyphs, their natural and archeological environment as well as for measures to arrange for legal and physical protection of the sites.
