Siypantosh Rock Paintings, Rock art site in Zarafshan Mountains, Uzbekistan
The Siypantosh Rock Paintings display images created with black, yellow, and red-brown pigments on granite-diorite outcrops in the Kashkadarya region.
Dating from the Mesolithic period through the Middle Ages, these rock carvings illustrate the progression of human settlement in Central Asia through various epochs.
The paintings include depictions of bulls with curved horns, animal figures, and small hand prints that reveal the artistic expressions of early inhabitants.
The site requires navigation through remote mountain terrain, and visitors need appropriate hiking equipment and local guidance to access the petroglyphic locations.
Over 150 individual petroglyphic sites across Uzbekistan form a network of ancient art locations, with Siypantosh containing specific foot-shaped markings.
