The Petroglyphs of Arpa-Uzen can be found in the Karatau mountain range of southern Kazakhstan.
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.
