Havtsgait Peteoglyphs

After breakfast we left Gobi Erdene at 8am and jumped into our 4 wheeled drives.
We took a breathtaking route through a valley of jagged rocks which looked like the backs of sleeping dinosaurs.
Stopping for a break after 2 hours K found what looks like a man made flint and given its location may have to be gifted to the museum when we get back to UB.
Next stop the Petroglyphs- 5000yr old stone carvings high up at the top of a v v steep hill.
Sadly Unru does not know the type of stones but they were huge slabs of the darkest, purple metallic rocks unlike any I have ever seen- so wish we had a geologist with us. It was a v special place with a jaw dropping view of the gobi.
