The first virtual tour of the famous monuments of the Stone Age of Central and Northern Asia has been published within the framework of the project "The Path of Millennia: virtual trips to the monuments of the Stone Age of Central and Northern Asia". This is reported on the website of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of Russia.
The tour is published on the website of the Institute of Archaeology and Ethnography of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences and offers a virtual walk through the "white cave" of Tsagaan-Agui in Mongolia. Tsagaan-Agui ("white cave") was discovered by the Mongolian archaeologist Dorzhkhandyn Dorzh in 1972 and was first explored by him in the late 1980s together with Anatoly Derevyanko and Damdinsuren Tsevendorzh. Experts on the history of the Stone Age are studying traces of human presence in Tsagaan-Agua in the range from 500 to 20 thousand years ago.
The project "The Path of Millennia: Virtual Journeys through the Stone Age Monuments of Central and Northern Asia" is being implemented with the support of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of Russia. It is aimed at providing a wide audience with the opportunity to virtually visit the unique but hard-to-reach monuments of the Stone Age.
The following online excursions will be dedicated to the Teshik-Tash grotto in Uzbekistan, Denisov and Okladnikov caves in the Russian Altai, Surungur parking lot in Kyrgyzstan. Each of these monuments is associated with an important stage in the study of the ancient history of the vast region.
