6⃣ The Sulek Cave Painting

The Sulek Cave Painting is a rock surface inscribed with numerous ancient drawings. These depict scenes of hunting, tribal battles, shamanic rituals, and other episodes of everyday life of ancient tribes. The "canvas" was created over several epochs, with most of the drawings dating back to the period of the ancient Kyrgyz state (693–1207 AD).

The Sulek Cave Painting is a priceless monument of pictorial art, providing insights into the activities and beliefs of ancient societies. Notably, the drawings include depictions of deities and mythical creatures, as well as camels. The latter are particularly interesting because today, camels in Khakassia are rarely seen outside zoos and farms, whereas in ancient times, they were bred everywhere and used alongside horses.
