置身于泰姆格里大峡谷，在辽阔的群山环抱中，有一组值得注意的多达5000多件的岩石雕刻。创作年代跨越公元前1000年到20世纪初整整3000年。

　　这些作品大多数散布在远古人类居住的建筑和坟墓的遗址上，反映了当地人耕种、社会组织和宗教仪式等情况。另外，在泰姆格里大峡谷中，还拥有大面积的古代墓群。一些矮墙和地基遗址上刻有的繁复雕版画被证明是远古祭坛的遗迹，用于摆放祭品和纪念牺牲的英雄。

Brief Description
Set around the comparatively lush Tamgaly Gorge, amidst the vast, arid Chu-Ili mountains, is a remarkable concentration of some 5,000 petroglyphs (rock carvings) dating from the second half of the second millennium BC to the beginning of the 20th century. Distributed among 48 complexes with associated settlements and burial grounds, they are testimonies to the husbandry, social organization and rituals of pastoral peoples. Human settlements in the site are often multi-layered and show occupation through the ages. A huge number of ancient burials are also to be found including stone enclosures with boxes and cists (middle and late Bronze Age), and mounds (kurgans) of stone and earth built above tombs (early Iron Age to the present). The central canyon contains the densest concentration of engravings and what are believed to be altars, suggestsing that these places were used for sacrificial offerings.
Justification for Inscription
Criterion (iii): The dense and coherent group of petroglyphs, with sacred images, altars and cult areas, together with their associated settlements and burial sites, provide a substantial testimony to the lives and beliefs of pastoral peoples of the central Asian steppes from the Bronze Age to the present day.
