Öz
Petroglyphs are important language of communication of history without illustrators and readers. In this article, the possibility of analyzing petroglyph based on idioms emphasizes and a research method model is presented. Tail types encountered in tamgha shaped mountain goat figures were investigated by using “The Method of Petroglyph Analysis based on Idioms”. The results of analysis on selected idioms from three dialect groups of Turkish language showed that ‘tail’ refers ‘honor’ and ‘power’. Accordingly, the long and upright tailed mountain goat tamgha is the symbol of honor and power of khan. Another conclusion is the limiting rule in drawing these figures. Accordingly, the tamghas drawn must correspond to the social status of the person it represents. So the long upright tail could be drawn to represent the khan and the dynasty. All of these conclusions points out the importance of petroglyphs, as a visual material, in the social communication process.
