Kün-Ay ; Sun-Moon

In Old Turkish State system, Kaghan (Ruler, King, Leader) was blessed by the Sun (Kün) and Moon (Ay) God to rule and establish a state.

Moon-Sun (AY-KÜN) is common culture between the Turkic people; in Central Asia, Huns, Mamluk Kipchak Turks, Seljuk Turks. To be seen also in Pazyryk.


In Turkish "AY" (Moon) is equivalent verb to "Yaratmak" (Creating) "Türetmek" (Produce). The Moon, unlike the Sun, changes in form. 


Born, Grow Up, Dies for 3 Days, and Reborn. The cycle of the Moon, is "The Other World" and "Rebirth" in the archaic human subconscious, and develop mythology about it. The desire of human being is eternal life, and that brought 'life is not "linear" but "cyclical"'. Nature never dies, he reborn forever, why can human being not reborn?...


Anthropomorphic image in Sakha (Yakut Turks) myth of "AY TENGRI" (Moon God) is "ÜRÜNG AY TOYON"; "WHITE CREATOR GOD". Moon is the ancestor of Great Shamans. Ancestor Shamans, gives us the time of WAR, by looking in the cycle/position of the MOON. 


Uyghur Turks use for Khagans "AY TENGRIDE KUT BULMUŞ" Moon have found Sacred Energy in God"... 


(Kut= Holly, sacred energy, life force, abundance, life-giver, blessedness ; Tengri= God ; Ay=Moon ; verb.Bulmak=Find)


In Turkish cosmology "Crescent" (Hilal in Turkish), likened to a "Bull Horn", and Oghuz (Oğuz Kağan) Kagan is associated with him.

GÜNEŞ KURSU VE TANRI / SUN DİSC-TENGRİ

SUN DİSCS

The Sun Disks were found in a group of 13 tombs 

at Alacahöyük, 

known as the Royal Tombs 

and dating from the Early Bronze Age. 

(between the middle and end of the third millennium BC)
NOT HiTTiTE, but HATTiAN

THE SUN DİSK İS NOT HİTTİTE but HATTİAN CULTURE!

The oldest name for Anatolia (Asia Minor) was "Land of the Hatti"...Hittite came after the 2nd millennia BC, but the Sun Disk was made before that time. And Hittite used Hattian language to, also called as Hattic, Khattic or Khattish, non-Indo-European-non Semitic, an agglutinative language like Turkish of ancient Anatolia in 3rd and 2nd millennia BCE.

+ in circle represents the god, in old Turkish Tengri (Tanrı), birds on Hattian sun disc represents  the soul is being taken to god, in Turkish there is philosophical thought system with dead: Soul/spirit is flying to god. The warriors who is dead have always a bird in his hand.
