The tract Kan­ga or Kan­­ga-baba, in the past was an impor­tant point on the main car­a­van route from the Mangysh­lak piers to Khorezm and Khi­va. It attract­ed the atten­tion of many trav­el­ers and explor­ers. The com­plex of mon­u­ments is locat­ed in a pic­turesque area con­ve­nient for an ancient set­tle­ment — on the south­ern slopes of a plateau, grad­u­al­ly turn­ing into a wide val­ley. Most of the com­plex (cen­tral and east­ern) is occu­pied by archa­ic Turk­men mon­u­ments — these are main­ly rough ste­lae, most often paired; tomb­stones of the koitas type; box­es-sar­­copha­­gi with tomb­stones on them; occa­sion­al­ly — fences made of slabs dug on edge with tomb­stones inside them; as well as ste­les with recessed lamps (shyraks). There are rare types of mon­u­ments in the necrop­o­lis. These, first of all, include a sculp­­tur­al-styl­ized tomb­stone of the kokar­tas type with a relief image of horns, a ram’s back­bone, but retain­ing the gen­er­al com­po­si­tion­al scheme of an ordi­nary styl­ized koitas. Anoth­er rather orig­i­nal type of archa­ic mon­u­ments on Kan­ga Baba are shyrak ste­les, installed togeth­er with tra­di­tion­al rough ste­les (lean­ing against them). The west­ern part of the necrop­o­lis (approx­i­mate­ly 1/3 of its area) is occu­pied by Kaza­kh mon­u­ments dat­ing back to the 18th. 20th cen­tu­ry
