==Site description==<br />
The petroglyphs of Arpa-Uzen, located on ancient migration routes, include over 3500 examples of [[rock art]], the most abundant collection in all of southern [[Kazakhstan]]. These pictorials depict scenes from life during the Late [[Bronze Age]] to Early [[Iron Age]], portraying the domestication and sacrifice of animals amongst other things. A [[palimpsest]] was formed wherein older petroglyphs were covered by [[Saka]] pictorials from the [[Middle Ages]].<ref>[http://whc.unesco.org/en/tentativelists/1135/ Petroglyphs of Arpa-Uzen - UNESCO World Heritage Centre]<br />
