Описание (английский)
The Tomskaya Pisanitsa Museum is an open-air museum located some 50 km north-west of Kemerovo on the right bank of the Tom River in Western Siberia, Russia. It is famous for its 280 petroglyphs
dating from 4000–1000 BC. The exhibition also includes reconstructions
of ancient dwellings as well as some later cultural artefacts pertaining
to the Shors people.
Tomskaya pisanitsa is situated on the right bank of the river Tom.
Here the nature has created a unique place — smooth vertical stones and
a small platform before them, a kind of scene. Ancient people could not
but use this gift of nature. They have transformed this place into a
sanctuary where they came to pray to the Gods, to ask them for
successful hunting. The lead character of Tom's Rock Art is beautiful
elk. Elks were not only objects of prey, they turned into objects of
worship, into concentration of vital forces and power. About hundred
figures of these animals are knocked out on the Tomskaya pisanitsa. Also
we can see drawings of others representatives of fauna: bears, the fox,
the wolf, birds. Many anthropomorphous images are on the Tomskaya
Pisanitsa.
These are schematic drawings of people, often wearing animal
masks. Among the images solar signs are knocked out. The majority of the
images of the Tomskaya pisanitsa date from the aeneolithic period and Bronze Age,
3rd and 2nd millennia BC. Drawings of boats and fantastic animals
attract special interest. Many peoples of the world associate a boat
with the idea of their relative's voyage down "the river of the dead",
i.e. to the next world.
As a whole the basic idea of the sanctuary is the idea of fertility.
The sanctuary served people during several millenniums. And today
interest in this memorial has not weakened. Thousands of tourists come
here to get acquainted with creativity of our remote ancestors.
