Petroglyphic art is widespread worldwide. Images of rock art of the Bronze Age is the most widespread in Eurasia in general and the article is devoted to this chronological frames. Most often between them we see the animals surrounding our ancestors, is frequent
with emphasized certain signs, for example the hypertrophied sizes, the twirled horns symbolizing (ascending) sun. Among animals the special types which are embed in in modern to images mythology were chosen. In such regions as Siberia or Central Europe, relatively there are a lot of images of birds. Jetysu region doesn’t treat to similar. However separate images of birds are available, it is obvious that they have been carved not accidentally. Whether it was a part of “a world picture” or pursued ritual or other aims? There is no final decision of a question yet.
