	The Polychrome Rock Paintings in the Altay Mountains
		In the territory of China is the south slope of its middle part, which runs through the northern border of Xinjiang from northwest to southeast, some 800 km in length and 80-150 km in width and with an average altitude of 3,000 m.
		The very different hunting way of the Altay rock paintings reveals that the creator of those paintings still had no idea about arrows and bows: what they knew was to surround the prey by several people and use spears as their weapons.
		Therefore, we are quite certain that the polychrome rock paintings in the Xinjiang Altay are remains of the late Paleolithic Age.

		Although lucerne has been grown in Xinjiang for at least 1 500 years (it was first domesticated in nearby central Asia) and is common in the irrigated lands of southern Xinjiang, there was no local experience in large-scale fodder production in the pastoral Altay at the project's inception.
		Throughout the Altay Prefecture, 50 000 ewes have lambed early, 2 800 in the project area, for which good winter feeding and some shelter are necessary.

		Among the worst affected areas in Xinjiang is Altay prefecture, which lies in the northernmost part of the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region, bordering on Kazakhstan, Russia and Mongolia.
		Normally, Xinjiang's herders and animals that thrive there are able to cope with the cold temperatures and heavy snowfall that is typical to the wintering region.
		Xinjiang's winters usually last for about six months with frequent blizzards, and herders cope by migrating from one place to another, searching for fodder and water for their livestock.

	China Invented Skiing at Registan.net
		The way of skiing shown in the painting is likened to the locals’ skiing practice at present, said Shan Zhaoqian, a technical adviser of the Skiing Association of China, adding that Altay residents have inherited longstanding skiing activities from their ancestors.
		This idea was first put forth by the famous (skiing) Swedish explorer Fridjold Nansen in 1890 and is based on a study of the root words for skis.
		Clearly it was not China then but the general statement (as in the article) that the greater Altai region is the birthplace of skiing is acurate.
