Religious nature of the Yenisei inscriptions. II
The laconic Yenisei inscriptions put on rocks of Sayan-Altai uplands are left as a sign of the personal prayers made in those places, and also as a result of activity of preachers of Manichaeism. The rock inscriptions weren't inherent in Manichaeism of the Middle East and Central Asia and arose only in the conditions of a Siberian-Turkic Manichaeism. Here it continued ancient tradition of the mountain prayers leading to creation of petroglyphs and drawing personal signs-tamgas. Manichaeism writing affected runic spelling, having added designation of narrow vowels and having broken a system of consonants.
