This book provides a chronological look into the prehistoric and ancient cultures that came and went in the Gorno Altai (Mountainous Altai) region of Russia. From this book, the reader will learn about when human beings first appeared in the Gorno Altai region, who they were, and how they relate to players in later cultures. The reader will also learn about what tool development processes were used by players in each of the cultures, how the original culture of the first residents was inherited and further developed by later generations, how the rock art remaining across this region relates to the material civilization or spiritual culture of the time, and how the style of each of the cultures was expressed. Furthermore, the reader will also have an opportunity to think about how those cultures relate to the Korean national culture.
