Georgia (country)The Trialeti petroglyphs are prehistoric rock art in the Tsalka Municipality of Georgia's Kvemo Kartli region, dating primarily to the 3rd millennium BC (Bronze Age). The site comprises approximately 100 engravings across six panels spanning 50 meters of basalt cliff surface in the Avdris-Tsqali river gorge. Imagery includes deer, horses, mountain goats, hybrid creatures, geometric designs, and small human figures with bows. First reported by amateur archaeologist A. Ioakimov in the 1880s and rediscovered in 1976 by Manana Gabunia, the site is recognized as a Cultural Heritage monument of Georgia and part of the Council of Europe's Prehistoric Rock Art Trails.
