The article is devoted to the digital reconstruction of the ancient drawings in Akbauyr grotto (East Kazakhstan, Early Bronze Age). The three-dimensional documentation of the drawings was combined with photogrammetry technology and the use of various methods of visualization of poorly visible images. The texture of the model of the grotto interior was processed using pigment map and decorrelation stretching methods, which made it possible to reveal new drawings in the Akbauyr grotto that are practically invisible to the human eye. The final interactive three-dimensional model of the Akbauyr grotto is freely available on the Sketchfab platform.
