Starting from the beginning of the second part of 2nd millennium Before Christ new plots of Petroglyphs appeared in Kazakhstan, Semirechie, especially the ones that were connected with cattle-breeding tribes (table 6, 7). In Karatau mountains there are scenes of domesticated camels. In Dzhungaria the pictures of tamed horses predominate. Battle chariots engravings are extended everywhere. Since the end of the 2nd millennium Before Christ they turn into schematic images, or sometimes into the emblem of chariot (table 8).
Among Petroglyphs of the later Bronze Age there are separate pictures of sun-head divinities, but they do not occupy a central place in the sanctuaries. In the plots from the bull cult, masked solar and bespectacled images disappear. The number of battle scenes and plots related with the military cult are considerably increased. Unique Dzhungarian engravings, which allowed to more exactly reflect small details of separate pictures, appeared in this period in addition to "Tamgaly" style.
On a large territory up to 7 century before our era were comparatively rapid formed the art of "animal" style of Saak's nomads. No more than this art was been bright and varied, it is need to note that the sanctuarys of Saak's Age are smaller on size, than those of the Bronze Age.
At the boundary of 1 millenium of before our era and our era the "animal" style art gradually dies out. The reason of such die may find at the further development of
different kinds of applied art, in using of another materials and 384671 re-orientation on another customer.Leaving the general signs of canon, the figures of animals look roughly, disappeared the careful study of details, characteristic of the most early stages of this style. Among Semirechien materials this period of Petrogliphs art presents in the sanctuarys of Sholaktau. At the following ancient Turk time Petrogliphs are placed, . as a rule, on already mastered space, continue on some distance the ancient galleries and don't disturb them (Tamgaly, Oi-Dzhailau) or drawings hollow out near, continue some subjects, or renovate them (Eshkiolmes). Side by side with some monotony of subjects at that period in Prtrogliphs period disctintively looks the epic-heroic beginning. So it refer numerous scenes of duels of horse warriors, battle composition and figures of standard-bearers. There is no exeption, that some Petrogliphs can play a part of epitaphs.
With the penetration on territory of Kazakhstan the Islam and other religions at the medieval period the Petrogliphs art finally degenerates. However in regions settled by nomads, carrying on traditional economy, for the long time yet until 19 century several elements of such rind of art are left. Most often the engravings bring on the grave stones of mausoleums and saganatams, rare-on rocks. People images presented by schematic figures, though the pictures of animals and weapon carried out enough skillful, in best traditions of the nomads art. Summing up, it should be note that Petrogliphs art of Kazakhstan endured periods of prosperity and die. The most bright and expressive it presents at the epoch of the becoming of productive economy, and gradually die out, keeps at the regions with traditional economy, where there were strong relations inside the generation and patriarchal way of life.
