Kent Range

There are archaeological remains of an ancient city, dating back to the late Bronze Age in the Kent Mountains. There are also ruins allegedly belonging to a 17th century Buddhist lamasery of the time of Buddhism in Kazakhstan, the Kyzyl Kent site. The ruins are located in a small valley surrounded by rocky slopes. ==Geography==

The Kent Range is one of the subranges of the Kazakh Upland system (Saryarka). It rises to the southeast of the Karkaraly Range. The roughly wide intermontane basin where the Taldy river flows northwards separates both ranges. The Bakty Range rises to the northeast, the Keshubai to the south, and Mount Ku to the NNE. The range stretches roughly from north to south for about . The ridges rise between and above the surrounding steppe; they are cut by deep ravines and valleys with scree slopes. The larger Kyzyltas range rises to the southwest. ==Flora==

The forested areas of the range are mostly located on the western side. They include pine, birch, aspen and willow. There is as well low vegetation made up of steppe shrubs and sedges. ==See also==
