Abstract

The article is devoted to a new petroglyphic complex of the Altai which was discovered by the author. The unique stamped rock-drawings are correlated by him with the Karakol Culture of the Bronze Epoch. The author concentrates his attention on guessing of the astronomical aspect of the composition. The publication extends our views both of the existence of crescent-shaped pendants (lunnits), those met in burials of the Bronze Epoch, and of the peculiarities of the Karakol Culture of the Altai and its relations with the Okunevo Culture.
