All inventions of mankind, from primitive tools to modern sophisticated technologies demonstrate the need of their creators for a figurative understanding of the spiritual world and visual display of abstract concepts generated by consciousness. This is evidenced by the ancient tamga signs carved in stone. Today we can quite consider tamga signs as works of ancient art, despite their primary functional purpose associated with a symbolic impact on nature. Even in the era of antiquity, the theory proposed by Aristotle substantiated that art is born from imitation of nature. The aim of this article is to determine the sacred meanings of the ancient generic signs of Mangistau, and the functional features of the sacred space. Most of them have survived in the form of petroglyphs and tamga signs carved on tombstones, sandyktas, sarcophagi of antiquity in the Middle Ages, as well as on the walls of saganatams and domed mausoleums of a later period. There are also preserved tamgas, carved on large boulders and rocks. In the course of the research, the symbolic meanings of the ancient Oguz tamga signs of Mangystau were substantiated through conceptual and semantic analyses. A comparative analysis of information from a number of scientific studies about ancient symbols has been carried out.--As a result of the study, an assumption was made about the following issues: existence in nature of generic signs of conceptual meanings; the sacraments of life; the universe; belonging, generic markings; state symbols; pilgrimage presences and the location of burial.--Все изобретения человечества, начиная с примитивных орудий труда до современных сложнейших технологий, демонстрируют потребность их создателей к образному осмыслению духовного мира и визуальному отображению абстрактных понятий, порожденных сознанием. Об этом свидетельствуют и высеченные на камне древние тамговые знаки.--Сегодня мы вполне можем рассматривать эти знаки как произведения древнего искусства, несмотря на их первичное функциональное предназначение, связанное с символическим воздействием на природу. Еще в эпоху античности предложенная Аристотелем теория утверждала, что искусство рождается из подражания природе.--Цель данной статьи - определение сакральных значений древних родовых знаков Мангистау, и их функциональных особенностей в сакральном пространстве. Основная их часть сохранилась в виде петроглифов и тамговых знаков, высеченных на надгробных плитах, сандыктасах, саркофагах древности и средневековья, а также на стенах саганатамов и купольных мавзолеев более позднего периода. Также сохранились тамги, высеченные на крупных валунах и скалах.--В ходе исследования были обоснованы символические значения древних огузских тамговых знаков Мангистау посредством концептуального и семантического анализов. Проведен сопоставительный анализ сведений ряда научных изысканий о древних символах.--В результате исследования было выдвинуто предположение о существовании в природе родовых знаков концептуальных смыслов о таинствах бытия, мироздания, наряду с информацией о принадлежности, родовой маркировке, государственной символике, паломничестве и месторасположении захоронения.
