THE ANCIENT ARTS OF SIBERIA
⠀
Khakassia is one of the few Russian regions that has preserved its original culture ☝🏻; it is a wonderful land with mystical places ✨. The Khakassia Nature Reserve is home to all of the Republic's natural monuments: steppe disappearing into the horizon 🐾, clear lakes 🐟💧and thick cedar forests🌲. The mysterious Tuimsky Proval (a man-made crater) ⛏that has a lake at its bottom with turquoise-colored water💎; the Siberian Stonehenge—Sunduki mountain ridge⛰; ancient menhirs 🗿 and ethno-settlements are the best places for people looking for mysteries and adventures🙋🏻♀️🙋🏼♂️.
⠀
As well as lakes and outdoor activities, visitors are attracted by Khakassia's unique cultural and historical heritage. The republic is home to more than 30,000 ❗️cultural and historical monuments. To protect its cultural and historical heritage, the Republic of Khakassia has created a Commission for UNESCO.
⠀
The highlight of the republic is its open-air museums🌿. Khakassia has 10 of them. The first open-air museum was the Kazanovka Museum-Reserve established in 1996. One of the most visited and popular museums is Khurtuyakh Tas. The Great Salbyk Kurgan is also very popular; this is the burial place of a great leader of antiquity and is part of Tagar archaeological culture. Almost all of the monuments contain rock carvings, also known as petroglyphs. Many of them are found on the Suleksky, Boyarsky, and Maloarbatsky petroglyphs, as well as at Oglakhty.
