About 100 petroglyphs, dating back around 3,500 years, have been discovered in Kazakhstan, several news reports say.

Exactly how long the Bronze and early Iron ages lasted in Kazakhstan is a topic of debate among scholars, but together they likely date to between 4,000 and 2,500 years ago. The petroglyphs were found during a nationwide volunteer campaign that aims to clean the environment, the Astana Times noted. After the potential discovery was made, local archaeologists were brought in to examine the petroglyphs.

However, the site is"not at all new" and is well known among specialists, Viktor Novozhenov, an archaeologist with the Saryarka Archaeological Institute at Karaganda State University in Kazakhstan, told Live Science in an email.
