Ughtasar, Summit at Syunik province, Armenia
Mount Ughtasar rises to 3300 meters above sea level, featuring a crater lake surrounded by dark volcanic stones and green hills.
The mountain contains over 1000 petroglyphs dating from the Paleolithic era around 12,000 BCE through the early Iron Age.
The mountain's name derives from either 'ught' meaning camel due to its shape, or 'ukht' referring to pilgrimages conducted at this location.
Access to the petroglyphs requires traveling on dirt roads and ascending steep terrain, making a four-wheel-drive vehicle necessary for transportation.
The site contains thousands of rock carvings depicting hunting scenes, geometric patterns, and zodiac signs carved into dark brownish-black volcanic stones.
