Baga-Zarya, Archaeological site in Dzhidinsky District, Russia.
Baga-Zarya is an archaeological site on a mountain in Dzhidinsky District that contains numerous ancient rock carvings etched into its stone surfaces. These petroglyphs date from different prehistoric periods and document human presence across many centuries.
People settled this region in ancient times and left their mark through rock carvings on the mountain. Archaeological finds show the area was inhabited and used repeatedly across long periods.
The rock carvings show scenes of hunting and daily activities from people who once lived here. These images reflect how ancient communities made use of the land and their ways of life.
The site sits in a remote mountain area and is most easily reached with help from guides in nearby villages. Visitors should prepare for uneven terrain and mountain conditions while wearing sturdy footwear.
