"The Tyup's territory, which is located along the Great Silk Road, [… has] a small park with balbals [stone statues with human faces - tmc] and stone millstones in the village of Shaty, where there is a small stone with a picture of an open palmed hand - a fragment of a much larger image. Japanese tourists believe this to be a Buddhist monument. Being that the sculpture is not very large, and because there are many millstones for flour and ore, experts believe this to be evidence of an ancient settlement of Buddhist monks."
