The Manyrak petroglyphs are located at an altitude of 872 meters above sea level (geographical coordinates: N 47°24'09.95", E 83°53'20.10"). Approximately 3 kilometers southeast of the village of Manyrak, on a hill to the left of the road leading to the Shilikti Valley, rock engravings, including ancient Turkic symbols, have been discovered.

The early Iron Age symbols are represented by depictions of animals in the animal style, as well as anthropomorphic figures and images of horse riders (Figures 1-3). These images reflect the distinctive characteristics of the artistic culture of that period.

The archaeological site is temporally stratified. The stones show clear signs of erosion and weathering, with visible cracks and lichen growth on their surface. These factors indicate prolonged exposure to natural conditions, which significantly complicates the precise interpretation of the petroglyphs.
