- Title
BILUUT-TOLGOI: A NEW ROCK ART SITE IN MONGOLIA.
- Authors
Kubarev, V. D.
- Abstract
The article discusses the petroglyphs found at the Buluut-Tolgoi site in Mongolia. It is stated that the petroglyphs are relevant for the reconstruction of the nomadic lifestyle, mythology, totemic animal cults, and rituals of the ancient nomadic tribes. It is revealed that most of the petroglyphs at Buluut-Tolgoi date to the Bronze Age. The petroglyphs include the large number of bull images at the site of which a layered composition consisting of seven bull figures facing to the right is highly characteristic. The Ancient Turkic period borrowed an older symbol which could be seen on steles in the Barburgazy valley and used it as a personal tamga.
