Petroglyphs are being destroyed in Alai district of Kyrgyzstan due to coal mining. A photographer from Turkey, Zafer Dincer, posted on his Facebook page.
«One of the most beautiful places in Alai district is in danger! A new coal mine was launched here 2-3 days ago. Many of the unique carved stones around the lake have been destroyed by a coal road. We fear that if the technology continues to work, we will lose this amazing place in a week,» Zafer Dincer posted.
According to the photographer, Kok-Kol, located on the pastures Kaldyrama, Boz-Bei and Ak-Bai, where residents of Murdash and Kara-Kur villages live, may also disappear in the near future.
