Yakutia to Digitize and 3D Model Ancient Rock Art Sites
The Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) is set to digitize and create 3D models for its ancient rock art sites, with the petroglyphs of Tangaralaakh, located on the banks of the Olenek River, being the first to undergo this transformation.
These 3D models will be an integral part of geographical information systems (GIS), making them easily accessible to researchers and the general public alike. The models will contain detailed information about the petroglyphs, including photos, descriptions, and virtual models.
The petroglyphs of Tangaralaakh are already listed in the register of cultural heritage sites of Yakutia, joining the approximately 100 ancient rock art sites in the region. Most of these sites are located on the banks of major rivers such as the Lena, Aldan, Amga, and Tokko.
The digitization and creation of 3D models of the petroglyphs is a plan for the end of the year, with Father Evgeny Ponochovny, a researcher at the Institute of Humanitarian Studies and Issues of the North (IGIiPNiS), set to start this work in August 2024.
Vladislav Danilov, another researcher at IGIiPNiS, stated that the digitized petroglyphs will be added to the register of cultural heritage sites of Yakutia once the work is completed. The northernmost petroglyphs of Tangaralaakh, located on the banks of the Olenek River, will be digitized by the end of the year.
This initiative aims to preserve and promote Yakutia's rich cultural heritage, providing a unique opportunity for people to explore and learn about these ancient artworks in a modern, interactive way. The 3D models of the petroglyphs will not only serve as a digital archive but also as a tool for further research and understanding of these ancient works.
