One of the most interesting monuments of ancient Turks of Tuva is stone monuments which represent monuments with ritual vessels in their hands. Unfortunately the majority of them are destroyed now. But nevertheless there is one amazing stone monument still standing in the steppe not far from Bijigtig-Haya mountain. People call this monument "Genghis-Khan". The figure of a powerful statue is made of red granite. It strikes your imagination by grandiose size and realistic view. It is hard to believe that the statue's age is more than 1200 years. This statue is not connected with Genghis-Khan of course. Local people gave it this name.
The monument's condition is rather good, so its photos are frequently used to decorate books and tourist brochures.
