Two kilometers northeast of the town of Cholpon-Ata there is an archaeological site with around 2,000 petroglyphs, most of which date from the Scythian period (8th to 3rd century BC). 90% of the petroglyphs depict animals such as ibexes, horses and camels. The remaining drawings mostly depict hunting scenes. In addition to the petroglyphs, there are stone circles, burial mounds, remains of walls and stone sculptures to be seen there (Wikipedia).
