Petroglyphs of Sikachi-Alyan, Ancient rock art site near Sikachi-Alyan village, Russia.
The petroglyphs feature numerous carvings depicting animals, human figures, and geometric patterns spread across multiple basalt rocks along the Amur River.
Dating back to 12000-9000 BC, these petroglyphs were first documented through scientific research by Richard Maack in 1859 at this archaeological location.
The site contains two distinct groups of rock art displaying images of mammoths, elks, masks, and circular patterns that represent ancient indigenous expressions.
Located 75 kilometers north of Khabarovsk, visitors can access both the open-air exhibition area and a museum explaining the petroglyphs' context.
The basalt rocks containing the petroglyphs shift positions naturally due to seasonal changes in the Amur River water levels.
