As a stone type, they are known across Southern Siberia, Mongolia and Kazakhstan. Uushgiin uvur is the biggest complex of deer stones, wich having deer depictions wide spread in the territory of central Asia. In this site are total 15 deer stones located and some stones were wrapped with depiction of flying deer up to the right and left or having depicting of flying deer in the one side, besides that some of them having engravings of leopard, antelope etc... This form of rock art, widespread throughout northern Mongolia and southern Siberian Steppe, apparently dates back to the Scythian Period and Pre-Hsiung-Nu period, between 500 and 800 BC. The weapons illustrated on the deer stones are identical with Scythian weapons, and date the timing of the making of the stones as ca 1500 to 1800 BC. more information: Deer stones (also known as reindeer stones) are ancient megaliths carved with symbols found largely in Siberia and Mongolia. The name comes from their carved depictions of flying deer. There are many theories to the reasons behind their existence and the people who made them. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deer_stone Hertenstenen (ook wel bekend als rendierstenen) zijn oude megalieten met ingekerfde symbolen die over een groot gebied verspreid voorkomen, van Zuid-Siberië tot in Oost-Europa en met de grootste concentratie in Noordwest-Mongolië. De naam komt van de ingekerfde afbeeldingen van hertachtigen, waarschijnlijk rendieren in vliegende galop. De hertenstenen werden waarschijnlijk oorspronkelijk gedurende het 1e millennium v.Chr. door Scytho-Siberische bronstijdnomaden opgericht. Latere culturen hebben de stenen vaak voor hun grafheuvels en andere doeleinden hergebruikt. nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hertensteen Khövsgöl is the northernmost of the 21 aimags (provinces) of Mongolia. The name is derived from Lake Khövsgöl. Within Mongolia, the region is well known for its natural beauty, and Lake Khövsgöl is one of the country's major tourist attractions. The largest forest areas of Mongolia are located around and to the north of the lake, extending the south-siberian Taiga. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khövsgöl_Province Ajmag Hövsgöl is één van de eenentwintig ajmguud (bestuurlijke regio) van Mongolië. Het bestuurlijk centrum is de stad Mörön met iets meer dan 25.000 inwoners. De ajmag ligt in het noorden en bevat het noordelijkste punt van het land. Hövsgöl grenst aan de Russische autonome republieken Toeva en Boerjatië. De naam is afgeleid van het meer Hövsgöl Nuur. Tot 1933 was de hoofdstad Hatgal. Rond het meer en ten noorden ervan liggen de grote bossen van Mongolië. Deze vormen een voortzetting van de Zuid-Siberische taiga. Hövsgöl Nuur wordt ook wel aangeduid als het "Kleine Baikalmeer". nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hövsgöl |
