Petroglif Müzesi | Cholpon-Ata | Kırgızistan
Orta Asya turu kapsamında Kırgızistan Cholpon-Ata şehri yakınlarında bir Petroglif Müzesi ziyaret ettim. Petroglif Müzesi 4000 yıllık tarihi ve harika kaya resimleri ile büyülüyor. Issık Göl kıyısındaki Cholpon-Ata Kırgızistan coğrafyasından toplanan birçok Kaya Resmi Petroglif ile turist çekmeye devam ediyor. Taş üzerine yapılan oyma resimlere Kırgızistan’da Issık Göl, Narın ve Talas illerinin dağlık ilçelerinde sıkça rastlanılıyor. Issy-Kul State Historical and Cultural Museum and Reserve olarak geçen bu bölge Issyk-Kul Tarih ve Kültür Müzesi, Cholpon-Ata’nın merkezinde bulunuyor. Kaya resimleri üzerinde keçi, yaban keçisi, dağ keçisi, domuz, köpek, av köpeği, avcı, geyik, çoban ve at gibi hayvan ve insan motifleri ve o döneme ait araçlar resmedilmiş.

МУЗЕЙ ПОД ОТКРЫТЫМ НЕБОМ - ЫССЫК-КУЛЬ.
Материял взят из канала Азаттык!
Большое спасибо за предоставленый материял!.
Петроглифы урочища Чолпон-Атарасположены между северной, западной и северо-западной окраинами города Чолпон-Ата и южным подножием хребта Кунгей Ала-Тоо, распространяясь зачастую и по склонам отрогов этого хребта. На площади длиной с востока на запад 4 километра и шириной 0,6-2 км лежат десятки тысяч камней (валунов), вынесенных селевыми потоками из горных ущелий хребта Кунгей Ала-Тоо.
Камни составляют как сплошные массивы скоплений значительных размеров, так и небольшие скопления. Поверхность валунов под воздействием солнечных лучей за многие тысячелетия покрылась «пустынным загаром» – патиной блестяще-черного и коричневого цветов с различными оттенками. Загарные камни служили своего рода «полотном» для древних художников. Рисунки выбивались орудиями из металла или твердых пород камня на загарной поверхности валунов. Размеры камней от 0,5 х 0,8 до 3х6 метров. Скол неглубокий 0,2-1 см.
Сюжеты и образы рисунков разнообразны, но в основном преобладают изображения животных: козлов, архаров, оленей, быков, лошадей, собак, волков и др. Встречаются сцены нападения хищников на животных, сцены пешей и конной охоты, всадников на лошадях и верблюдов, многочисленные изображения людей. На камнях редко выбит один, а большей частью два-три и более двадцати рисунков. Не редкость, когда встречаются два-три слоя рисунков различных эпох, перекрывающих друг друга (палимсесты).
Многие рисунки высокохудожественны, реалистичны и отличаются тщательностью проработки фигур животных и людей.
В целом петроглифы Чолпон-Ата датируются в пределах II тысячелетия до нашей эры – VIII в. нашей эры. Однако большая часть относится к периоду VII-III в.в. до н.э. По общему мнению исследователей – это время расцвета скифо-сакского звериного стиля, который получил особо широкое отражение в наскальном изобразительном искусстве. Насколько распространенным это искусство было в среде ранних кочевников (саков) можно судить на примере Иссык-Кульской котловины, где ни одно из скоплений камней не оставлено без внимания древних художников. В каждом из них встречается то или иное количество рисунков.
К числу особенностей петроглифов Чолпон-Ата, как и всей Иссык-Кульской котловины, следует отнести то, что на месте их нахождения или вблизи расположены древние захоронения. Материалы из раскопок этих захоронений могут помочь в уточнении датировок наскальных изображений и определении их этно-культурной принадлежности.
Петроглифы Чолпон-Ата представляют собой грандиозный храм под открытым небом, где совершались культовые обряды, связанные с духовным миром и жизнью кочевого населения Иссык-Куля.

촐폰 아타에 있는 한 국영 휴양소. 이 휴양소에는 작은 박물관이 하나 있다. 소련의 지도자였던 브레즈네프를 기념하는 박물관이다. 흐루시초프에 이어 소련공산당 서기장이 된 브레즈네프는 1970년 키르기스스탄을 방문했는데, 그때 이식쿨 호수에서 머물렀다. 이 박물관에는 그가 쓰던 의자와 시계, 주판이 남아있다. 소련 붕괴 전까지 이곳은 고위직과 외국 귀빈들의 휴양소로 사용됐다. 그만큼 유서가 깊은 곳이라 1970년대 구소련 시절의 모습을 그대로 보존하고 있다. 피서객들은 휴양소에 머물며 여러 가지 치료를 받을 수 있다. 가장 많이 하는 것 중 하나는 온천수를 이용한 물치료다. “소금물을 사용하는데 피부염이나 관절염에 효과가 있습니다. 또 심리적으로 편안함을 주고 신경치료에도 도움이 됩니다.” 보통 물치료를 받은 다음에는 진흙 찜질을 한다. 이식쿨 호수 주변에는 고고학 유적지들도 있다. 강 하구였던 이곳에는 큰 바위들이 가득 널려 있다. 그런데 이 바위들에 선사시대의 암각화가 새겨져 있다. “이것이 유명한 암각화 유적입니다. 눈표범을 이용한 사냥이죠. 이것은 산양. 사냥꾼. 이것은 눈표범입니다.” 중앙아시아의 산악지대에는 하얀색 눈표범이 서식한다. 이 그림을 통해 선사시대에 이곳에서는 눈표범을 개처럼 길들여 사냥에 이용했다는 것을 알 수 있다. 사냥에서 하나라도 더 많은 동물을 잡기를 기원하며 바위에 암각화를 새겼을 선사시대 사람들의 소박한 바람이 느껴졌다. 나는 마지막으로 이식쿨 호수 동쪽에 있는 제티 오구스를 찾았다. 제티 오구스는 일곱 마리의 황소라는 뜻이다. 붉은색 바위들이 우뚝 솟아 있어 신비감을 자아낸다. 그러고 보니 바위들이 우람한 황소를 닮은 것 같다.

Part of the preparation in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan for Independence Day (August 31) and the Second World Nomad Games (September 3-8). The Nomad Games will be in Cholpon-Ata.
Bishkek, City Walk - Kyrgyzstan 4K Travel Channel
We start our city walk in Bishkek at the city hall in Chuy Avenue. Chuy Avenue is the important cross connection from west to east in Bishkek. The blue gable of the town hall brings invigorating color to the cityscape. To the right is the National Bank. Opposite at the end of the alley is a building of the university. On the right side of a long parkway is the Philarmonic Hall, Toktogul Satylganov. In front of it is a monument of Manas, the Kyrgyz national hero. His stretched arm with the sword as an extension serves the birds as a preferred resting place.
The view back along Chuy Ave shows another building of the University, opposite the National Bank.
In the video, we make a virtual jump one kilometer to the east and are now in front of the White House, the parliament of Kyrgyzstan. The total number of representatives is 129. But, a regulation limits the number of representatives per party to 85. Thus a single party cannot become omnipotent. Despite all efforts to ensure the equal rights of the women, the women are under-represented in the parliament.
To the east of Parliament, the Stela of Nations Friendship stretches towards heaven.
We now reach the center of Bishkek with Ala-Too Square, which is bordered to the north by the National Historical Museum. On the open space in front of it is another monument to the national hero Manas, erected by German prisoners of war, most of whom did not survive. Here is also an impressive flagpole with the flag of Kyrgyzstan. At the roadside of Chuy Avenue, one set up flags and podiums for the upcoming Independence Day.
On the opposite side of Chuy Ave are two huge building blocks surrounded by tent city-like arcades. They house restaurants, shops, and banks. A similar building in the middle with a golden dome on the roof, a bit in the background, houses the Ministry of Agriculture. In front of it stands a monument of the most important Kyrgyz writer and politician Chingiz Aitmatov, whom we got to know already in Cholpon Ata.
The building to the east, the Ministry of Culture and Information, is built in the original architecture of the pre-Soviet era. In eastern direction follows a picture gallery.

Wir beginnen unseren Stadtspaziergang in Bischkek beim Rathaus in der Chui Avenue. Die Chui Avenue ist die wichtigste Querverbindung von West nach Ost in Bischkek.
Der blaue Dachgiebel des Rathauses bringt eine erfrischende Farbe in das Stadtbild. Rechts daneben ist die Nationalbank untergebracht. Gegenüber ist am Ende einer langen Alle ein Gebäude der Universität erkennbar. Rechts von der Allee steht die Philharmonie (Philarmonic Hall Named Toktogul Satylganov). Davor befindet sich ein gewaltiges Denkmal von Manas, dem Kirgisischen Nationalhelden. Sein ausgestreckter Arm mit dem Schwert als Verlängerung dient den Vögeln als bevorzugter Rastplatz.
Der Blick zurück entlang der Chui Avenue zeigt ein weiteres Gebäude der Universität, gegenüber der Nationalbank.
Wir machen im Video nun einen virtuellen Sprung um einen Kilometer nach Osten und befinden uns nun vor dem Weißen Haus, dem Parlament von Kirgisistan. Die Zahl der Abgeordneten beträgt 129. Eine interessante Regelung ist aber, dass die Zahl der Abgeordneten pro Partei auf 85 beschränkt ist. Somit kann eine einzelne Partei nicht allmächtig werden. Allerdings sind trotz aller Bemühungen zur Gleichberechtigung der Frauen die Frauen im Parlament unterrepräsentiert.
Östlich des Parlaments streckt sich die Stele für die Freundschaft der Völker gen Himmel.
Wir erreichen jetzt das Zentrum von Bischkek mit dem Ala Too Platz, der im Norden durch das National Historische Museum begrenzt wird. Auf der Freifläche davor befindet sich ein weiteres Denkmal des Nationalhelden Manas, das von deutschen Kriegsgefangenen errichtet wurde, von denen die meisten nicht überlebten. Außerdem steht hier eine beeindruckende Fahne Kirgisistans. Am Straßenrand zur Chuy Ave werden gerade Flaggen und Podien für den bevorstehenden Unabhängigkeitstag aufgestellt.
Auf der gegenüber liegenden Seite der Chuy Ave befinden sich zwei riesige Gebäudeblöcke, die von Zeltstadt - artigen Arkaden umgeben sind. In ihnen sind Restaurants, Geschäfte und Banken untergebracht. Ein ähnliches Gebäude in der Mitte, aber etwas in den Hintergrund versetzt, mit einer goldenen Kuppel auf dem Dach beherbergt das Landwirtschaftsministerium. Davor steht ein Denkmal des bedeutendsten Kirgisischen Schriftstellers und Politikers Chingiz Aitmatov, den wir bereits in Cholpon Ata kennengelernt haben.
In östlicher Richtung schließt ein Gebäude in der original Architektur der pre-sowjetischen Ära an. Es ist das Ministerium für Kultur und Information. Noch einmal östlich ist eine Bildergalerie.

# 14 Zijderoute - Kyrgyzstan (Chuy Valley)- Burana Tower - Mountains - Guesthouse (Kochkor)
-- Autoreis Zijderoute In de voetsporen van Marco Polo --
Content:
Visiting Burana Tower (Minaret) in Chuy Valley.
Than…going into the beautiful mountains, visit there a man with his horses, buying dry fish…and finaly arrive in Kochkor in a local guesthouse to have some food and sleep.
Burana Tower
The Burana Tower is a large minaret in the Chuy Valley in northern Kyrgyzstan.
It is located about 80 km east of the country's capital Bishkek, near the town of Tokmok.
The tower, along with grave markers, some earthworks and the remnants of a castle and three mausoleums, is all that remains of the ancient city of Balasagun, which was established by the Karakhanids at the end of the 9th century.
An external staircase and steep, winding stairway inside the tower enables visitors to climb to the top.
The tower was originally 45 m (148 ft) high. However, over the centuries a number of earthquakes caused significant damage to the structure.
The last major earthquake in the 15th century destroyed the top half of the tower, reducing it to its current height of 25m (82 ft).
In the early 1900s, Russian immigrants to the area used some of the bricks from the tower for new building projects.
A renovation project was carried out in the 1970s to restore its foundation and repair the west-facing side of the tower, which was in danger of collapse.
The winding stairway inside the Burana Tower
The entire site, including the mausoleums, castle foundations and grave markers, now functions as museum and there is a small building on the site containing historical information as well as artifacts found at the site and in the surrounding region.
Legend
This section does not cite any references or sources. Please help improve this section by adding citations to reliable sources. Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. (March 2012)
A legend connected with the tower says that a witch warned a local king that his newly-born daughter would die once she reached the age of eighteen.
To protect her, he built a tall tower where he sequestered his daughter. No one entered the tower, except the daughter's servant who brought her food. The daughter grew up alone and became a beautiful young lady. One day, however, a poisonous spider was hiding in the food brought by the servant. The spider bit the girl, and she died in the tower, at the age of eighteen.
Kochkor
Kochkor is a town in Kyrgyzstan's Issyk-Kul and the Tian Shan region.
Kochkor has recently built a new taxi stand / bus station on the main road.
There you can negotiate shared taxi rides to Bishkek, Naryn City, Balykchi, Cholpon Ata, Kara Kol, and sometimes At Bashi or Jumgal.
If you are looking for a cheap ride, try one of the minivan taxis (also known as mashrutkas) or (if you have lots of time on your hands) one of the buses that runs from Bishkek to At Bashi.
-Get around.
Kochkor is a large village, but can be easily explored on foot.
if you want to visit a nearby village, finding a taxi might be difficult. The best thing to do is walk in the direction you want to go and wave at a passing car if you want them to stop.
If they do give you a ride, it is polite to offer them money for petrol.
There are mashrutkas that run east / west on the main road from one end of the town to the other. But they keep irregular schedules.
Every Saturday, Kochkor holds it Animal Bazaar. There you can view Kyrgyz livestock and observe local farmers buying and selling their animals. The bazaar is also a good place to stock up on any essentials that you might be running low on.
Kochkor's park is a haven of greenery just south of the taxi stand. Within the park are various Soviet era structures in various stages of use. There you will find the Kochkor museum (which may or may not be open), the Wedding Palace, the cinema (now closed), the Cultural Hall (still open and working, inside you will find a billiard hall, library, performance hall, and antique Soviet video games), the Sports Hall, and the famous Men Disco.
Although Kochkor is best described as a gateway community, there is still much to do during your visit.
The best is just to explore. The people are very friendly and willing to strike up a conversation with visitors. If you are looking for more standard tourism fare, visit the CBT office and arrange for one of the local tours.
If purchasing sheep isn't what you came for, Kochkor still can offer the shopping traveler a variety of experiences.
In the center, there are two bazaars, one for food and the other for
But what Kochkor is truely known for is the women's handicraft cooperative, Altyn Kol (Kyrgyz for 'golden hand').
Founded in the mid-90's as a way to provide an alternate source of income for struggling rural families,
Altyn Kol has become world known for its handmade felt carpets (shyrdaks).
Found an ancient city under water. 2,500 years. Finds discoveries travel.
Divers of the SKAT club at the Tomsk State University (TSU) returned from the Issyk-Kul lake, where they participated in the archaeological expedition of the National Academy of Sciences of Kyrgyzstan. This year they discovered a previously unknown Scythian city, which existed about 2-2,5 thousand years ago.
