See Petroglyphs of Tamgaly, Kazakhstan (UNESCO site)
Tamgaly is a UNESCO petroglyph site in the Semirechye, Kazakhstan located 120 km to northwest of Almaty. The majority of the 5000 petroglyphs are in the lower part of the main canyon, but there are a number in the many side canyons. Most carvings depict deer and hunting scenes, but there is also a famous Buddha (or Shiva) drawing dated about 8th c. AD.
The petroglyphs are mostly Bronze Age, but in some cases from the Iron Age and the Medieval. The name Tamgaly in Kazakh and other Turkic languages means "painted or marked place".
