Shishkinskye Pisanitsy, Rock art site in Kachugsky District, Russia
The Shishkinskye Pisanitsy contain over 2000 rock paintings along the Lena River, displaying ancient artworks carved into limestone cliffs.
Created between the Neolithic period and the 19th century, these petroglyphs document the evolution of human expression through different historical periods.
The rock paintings feature diverse subjects including wild animals, domestic creatures, human figures, and hunting scenes that reflect ancient Siberian life.
The site requires careful navigation of rural roads to reach the entrance, where a caretaker provides guidance for responsible viewing.
The collection includes a notable horseback rider image that became the symbol for the Republic of Sakha in eastern Russia.
