The Zhumbaktas (in Kazakh: Mysterious Stone) is a oddly shaped sandstone rock that rises up right in the middle of the Lake Burabay in northern Kazakhstan. You can see from one direction an illustration of a beautiful woman in the Zhumbaktas Rock. If you walk further along the shore you can recognize at the other side of the rock an face of an older woman.
