There are more than 300 paintings on the southern and south-eastern slopes of the mountain. These paintings take a special place among all the ancient monuments of Tuva. The paintings depict tigers, horses, antelopes, goats, people and solar signs. There is a vast burial territory near the eastern slope. 20 burial mounds are already excavated by archaeologists. 5 of them had tombs. Scientists defined that these tombs belonged to warriors. It was proved by the remains of wooden spears with iron heads, iron plates and arrow-heads which were found in the tombs.
