'''Tamgaly''' is a [[petroglyph]] site in the [[Zhetysu]] of [[Kazakhstan]]. Tamgaly is located 170 km (by road) northwest of [[Almaty]]. The majority of the 5000 petroglyphs 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 [[Middle Ages|Medieval]] or later etchings. There are some petrogylphs from the [[Iron Age]].<ref>{{Cite book|author=Hermann, Luc |title=Die Petroglyphen von Tamgaly in Kasachstan |location=Paris |publisher=BoD (Books on Demand) |year=2011 |language=de |isbn=978-2-8106-1832-3 }}</ref><br />

The name ''Tamgaly'' in [[Kazakh language|Kazakh]] and other Turkic languages means "painted or marked place".<br />
<br />
Tamgaly became a UNESCO [[World Heritage Site]] in 2004. (''See'' [[List of World Heritage Sites in Kazakhstan]])<br />
