Bichigtiin Am Petroglyphs
The Bichigtiin Am Petroglyphs are entirely concentrated on a one small rocky mountain rising abruptly from the deep valley of Bichigtiin Am, Ikh Bayan mountain of Bayanlig soum, Bayankhongor province. There are hundreds of images of human beings, animals and symbols there were engraved by the prehistoric people on the rocks. The first petroglyphs were likely to have been made approximately 3000 years ago BC and people had continued to add illustrations until the 8th century CE.
Men riding horse or camel, cattle and camel herds as well as hunting scenes and men with carts are a common image among these rock arts. Men are illustrated riding horse with or without a saddle. An image of cattle pulling a plough and man directing it is one of the rarest artifacts related to farming found in the Mongolian Gobi region.
