The Petroglyphs in ‘Manhay’ and ‘Sisikino’, the historical and cultural monuments in the circumference range of the Baikal lake, are located at the upper stream of 'Lena' and at a branch of ‘Anggara’ river. Of the pictures on the rocks in this area, contents were consistently based on the life in the environment of this boundary. That is no doubt particularly after Iron age. It was considered that some 'Manhay' pictures were drawn by the men who were the same contemporary with artists painted those of 'Sisikino'. This view was regarded the pictures such as a rider of horse in the rock art of 'Manhay' and the hunting and the appearance of the horseman with flag drawing in the middle-low parts of the 'Sisikino' pictures as having used the same style and almost same times.
The ‘Sisikino’, which consists of varied and large pictures and some small carving pictures, are classified two periods as ancient and after-ages. The pictures of an ancient style were found out densely in comparatively higher alter. The other ones were spread in middle and lower. And these features, despite partly same patterns, of ‘Sisikino’ could be seen in the pictures in ‘Anggara’ and ‘Yenisey’ river. Though it was not certain that these aspects were whether a special situation of just the very local areas or the general appearance, through the our comprehensive survey, they were figured out in the pictures of soldiers dancing, of deers with drawing or carving moving cycles in its body, and of describing about a certain historical event with monumental characteristics.
The purpose of our two times exploration - the activities in Siberia and Mongolia - aimed at investigating and looking for the source of our pictures on the rocks in Korea.
Even Some foreign scholar often insisted a hypothesis linking the pictures on the rocks of their country with those of Korean peninsula in the relevance academy fields. Because the research data of the pictures on the rocks in each continent or area had been introduced very fragmentarily or separately so far, I reserved to raise an issue of its source till more data would have been introduced in Korea.
