It's a very nice presentation, but presenting Greek-Roman and Japanese works under their "ethnic" names while presenting Turkish works under "Islamic Art" is hypocritical! As you know, Islam is a religion accepted among many "ethnicities and nations," and a work of art cannot be presented under the name "Islamic" simply because it has "Arabic" writings on it. Works from the Seljuk, Safavid, Kajar, Mamluks (which the name of the state was Ed-Devletü’t-Türkiye)  and Ottoman periods should be presented as "Turkish Art". Because all these works (except for some) are reflecting the culture and art of Turks. All these empires are Turkish Empires and don't be afraid to say "Turkish Art"! Or do you have another hidden agenda?..

*PS: At 7:43 the bowl from Syria is not Kajar or Khazar (because it is not understable, and Khazar is also Turk), but Mamluk, if it is from the 13th c.

Begazı-Dandıbay Kültürü

 


Begazı-Dandıbay Kültürü (MÖ 1500-900)

Karasuk Kültürü gibi Türk Kültürü'ne aittir.

Ahmet Ziya Bayburt

*

Özet:

Begazı-Dandıbay Kültürü, Merkezî Kazakistan coğrafyasında Son Tunç Çağı’nda gelişim göstermiştir. Begazı-Dandıbay Kültürüne ait kompleksler, geçici yerleşim yerleri, sıradan mezarlar ve mozole tipi mezarlar olmak üzere üçe ayrılır. Mozoleler, güçlü bir sosyal organizasyona işaret eden elit mezar yapılarıdır. Mozole tipi mezarlarda I. grup kaplar yaygın olarak görülür. Özenle imal edilmiş I. grup kaplar ritüel amaçlı kaplardır, Sayan-Altay Coğrafyasıyla ve Karasuk Kültürüyle bağlantılıdır. Geçici yerleşim yerlerinde ve sıradan mezarlarda ise Alekseyev Kültürü ve onun geç evresi olan Dongal Kültürü evresi kaplarıyla ilişkili olan II. grup kaplar çoğunluktadır. II. grup kaplar Andronovo Kültürünün geç evresini temsil eder, daha çok gündelik kullanım amaçlı mutfak kaplarıdır. Bu yüzden Begazı Dandıbay Kültürünün tanımı konusunda farklı görüşler ortaya çıkmıştır. Bizim yaptığımız tanımlamalara göre bölgede I. grup kapların elit mezar yapıları olan mozolelerde çoğunlukta olması Karasuk göçleriyle açıklanabilir. Buna rağmen mozole tipi mezarlar Avrasya coğrafyasında yalnızca Begazı-Dandıbay Kültürüne özgüdür. Bu durumda Begazı-Dandıbay Kültürünü, Karasuk Kültürü etkili özgün bir kültürel oluşum olarak tanımlamamız gerekir. II. grup kaplar kültürün alt bileşenine işaret eder. Begazı-Dandıbay Kültürünün Erken Demir Çağı İskit Kültürleriyle ve özellikle Merkezî Kazakistan’daki Tasmola Kültürüyle olan bağlantıları önemlidir. Bu durum Begazı-Dandıbay Kültürünün mevcut etno-kültürel yapısını Erken Demir Çağına aktardığını gösterir. Etnografik dönemlere uzanan kültürel bağlantılar da Begazı-Dandıbay Kültürünü Türkçe konuşan halklarla ilişkilendirmemize olanak verir.




Sonuç:

Begazı-Dandıbay Kültürü, Son Tunç Çağında (M.Ö. 1500 – 900 yılları arasında) Merkezî Kazakistan bozkırında gelişen tipik bir step kültürüdür. Kültürün tanımı ve oluşumu üzerine pek çok farklı görüş ileri sürülmüştür. Ortaya koyduğumuz Begazı-Dandıbay Kültürü tanımına göre Sayan-Altaylar Kültür Coğrafyasında bulunan Karasuk kültürü ile ilişkilerinin başta keramik buluntular olmak üzere kuvvetli olduğu, bölgede kendisinden önce yer alan Andronovo Kültürü ile olan bağlantılarının daha zayıf olduğu anlaşılmaktadır. Begazı-Dandıbay Kültürünü tanımlarken aynı coğrafyada bulunan Andronovo Kültürünün geç evresi Alekseyev Kültürüyle olan ilişkilerinin araştırılması bize Merkezî Kazakistan üzerinden Urallardan Altaylara uzanan geniş bir coğrafyada Son Tunç Çağında nasıl bir değişim yaşanmış olabileceğiyle ilgili ipuçları vermiştir. Başta Tasmola Kültürü olmak üzere Erken Demir Çağı İskit kültürleriyle olan ilişkileri Begazı-Dandıbay Kültürünün bozkır coğrafyasında oynadığı baskın rolü görmemizi sağlar.



Değerlendirme başlığı altında ayrıntılı biçimde tartıştığımız Begazı-Dandıbay Kültürü, Merkezî Kazakistan‘daki Alekseyev Kültürü ve Dongal evresi keramik komplekslerini içinde bir alt kültür olarak barındıran bölgenin baskın kültürüdür. Mozole tipi mezar kompleksleri yönetici bir sınıfa işaret eder. Toplumun ancak büyük bir kısmının katılımıyla meydana getirilebilecek olan mozole tipi büyük mezar yapıları, bölgenin kültürel gelişimde ortak hareket, duygu ve düşüncelerin bütününü yansıtır. Bu mezar yapılarının ortaya çıkış amacının diğer buluntu merkezlerinden farklı olduğunu, sıradan günlük ihtiyaçlara yönelik yapıtlar olmadığını, tam tersine bunların özel ritüel anlamlar barındırdığını düşünebiliriz.

Begazı-Dandıbay Kültürü, özellikle keramik buluntuların ışığında çağdaşı olan Karasuk Kültürüyle bağlantılıdır. Daha geniş bir bakış açısıyla Yenisey-Lena Neolitik Kültürlerinden Sayan-Altaylar Coğrafyasına uzanan kültürel sürekliliğin bir parçasıdır. Bu tür kap yapma tekniğinin etnografik dönemlerde bile Yakut ve Şor Türkleri tarafından sürdürüldüğü önemli bir veridir.

Son Tunç Çağında Batı Sibirya‘da geniş bir alana yayılan benzer keramikler, Karasuk göçlerinin etkisiyle açıklanabilir. Karasuk göçleriyle birlikte Orta Tunç Çağı Andronovo Kültürünün, mezar yapılarının basitleşmesi, kaplarda görülen özensiz ve sıradan yapıya evrilen değişim olgusu, kültürün Son Tunç Çağında (Alekseyev Kültürü) çöküş sürecine girdiğinin açık işaretleridir. Karasuk göçleri sonucunda Andronovo Kültüründe ortaya çıkan değişim, Begazı Dandıbay Kültürü üzerinden Merkezî Kazakistan Erken Demir Çağı kültürlerine aktarılmıştır.

Madeni kemik ve taş eserler, Karasuk Kültürü de dahil olmak üzere çevresindeki Son Tunç Çağı kültürleriyle benzerdir. Buna rağmen Erken Demir Çağında yaygın olarak kullanılacak Tunç ok uçları ve bileme taşı gibi nesnelerin bulunması, başta Tasmola Kültürü olmak üzere İskit Kültürleriyle doğrudan bağlantılar kurmamızı sağlayan verilerdendir.

Begazı-Dandıbay Kültürü evresinde mozoleler, dromos yapıları Doğuya uzanıyordu. Erken Demir Çağı İskit mezarlarında ise gerek dromos görevini üstlenmiş gibi görünen mezar girişleri ve ölü bireylerin yönlendirilmeleri gene Doğu-Batı yöndeydi. Bu uygulama Klasik Türk Dönemi sonuna kadar devam etti. Klasik Türk Dönemi mezarlarında da giriş Doğudadır. İnsan heykelleri (taş babalar) ve balbal dizileri daima Doğu yönde sıralanmıştır. Buradan, ölü gömme geleneklerinde önemli bir yer işgal eden yönlendirme konusunun yalnızca Demir Çağları ile Orta Çağlar arasında bile neredeyse iki bin yıl sürdürüldüğüne tanık oluyoruz. Bütün bunlar, bölge kültürlerinin pek çok bakımdan ciddi kesintilere uğramadan devam ettiğinin çarpıcı kanıtları niteliğindedir.

Mezar mimarisinde, ölü gömme adetlerinde, keramik üretim tekniklerinde görülen geleneklerin Tunç Çağlarından etnografik dönemlere kadar Avrasya coğrafyasında yalnızca Türkçe konuşan halklarda görülmesi, bölge kültürlerinin sürekliliğine işaret eder. Anılan süreç içinde incelenen antropolojik verilerin birbirleriyle olan uyumlu ilişkileri bu bağlantıları destekler.

Karasuk Kültürü Sayan-Altaylar coğrafyasında öncesi (Okunyev Kültürü) ve sonrasıyla (Tagar/İskit Kültürü) sıkı bağlantılar içindedir. Sayan-Altaylardaki kültürel devamlılık Klasik Türk Dönemi sonuna kadar devam eder. Bugün Karasuk Kültürünü, ―Türk-Altay Kültürü‖ olarak tanımlayabiliyoruz (Güneri, 2018: 671-701). Bu çalışmamızda Karasuk Kültürü ile Begazı-Dandıbay Kültürü arasındaki somut bağlantılar konusunda bir dizi kanıt ortaya koyuyoruz. Bundan başka, Begazı-Dandıbay kültürünü Türkçe konuşan halklarla ilişkilendiren birkaç çok kısa atıflar niteliğinde kayıtlara da rastlıyoruz (Kuzmina, 2007: 79, 364) (Smagulov ve Pavlenko, 1998: 147). Bu kayıtların, Avrasya arkeolojisinin en ünlü ve en çok bilim üreten araştırmacıları tarafından geliyor olması ayrıca değerlidir.

Diğer taraftan, Sayan-Altaylar Kültür coğrafyasından Avrasya‘da geniş bir alanı etkisi altına alan Son Tunç Çağı Karasuk Kültürü yayılması, Türk-Altay Kuramına göre üçüncü dalga göçlerdir. Karasuk Kültürü yayılması, Sayan-Altaylardan çıkan dördüncü dalga göçler olan İskit yayılmasının ve "hayvan stili" temelinde birleşen Erken Demir Çağı İskit Kültürlerinin ise oluşumunun hazırlayıcısıdır (Güneri, 2018: 74, 668).

Begazı-Dandıbay Kültürü, üçüncü dalga Karasuk göçleri ile birlikte Merkezî Kazakistan‘da oraya çıkmış ve Erken Demir Çağı Tasmola Kültürüne geçişte önemli rol oynamıştır. Buna rağmen Begazı-Dandıbay Kültürü, Karasuk Kültürünün yalnızca sıradan bir uzantısı veya yerel bir versiyonu değildir. Mozole tipi mezarlar, Begazı-Dandıbay Kültürünün bölgede özgün bir kültürel oluşum meydana getirmiş olduğunu bize gösterir. Elimizdeki bulgular, Begazı-Dandıbay Kültürünün Türkçe konuşan halklara ait bir kültür olduğuna işaret etmektedir.

Hyperbore

 


Geographically, Hyperborea was located north of the Black Sea, at the foothills of the Ural Mountains. Borea is a Turkish word meaning "cold north wind." Bora is used today as a male name among Turks.


Bora: A harsh and temporary wind.

Boruk: Boran, bara: A severe snowstorm.

Boyanak: Rain falling in large drops.

Boran: Torrential weather with wind, lightning, and thunder.

Boranglamak: To snow.

Buran: A snowstorm.

Boranla: To snow.

Kara boroon: A violent hurricane without snow.


All of these words are found in Turkish (TR, AZ, Krgyz, Kazakh, Uzbek), and even in Mongolian, they appear as "boruğan, buragan."

Hyper is also of Turkish origin and comes from "ubir, upir, obur," meaning "to bite, nibble, suck, drink, insatiable." Thus, "Hyperborea" means "biting cold wind," meaning "so cold that it bites."

Even the word "vampire" is derived from this "upir." The word "vampire" first entered Western literature in H.A. Ossenfelder's poem "Der Vampir" written in 1748. According to Webster's Dictionary, the word's entry into English as "vampire" dates back to 1732. The Oxford Dictionary states that the ultimate origin of the word, which passed from Hungarian to French and from French to English in the mid-18th century, may be the Turkish "uber."

Researchers' failure is not to include Turkish history and language in their research also leads to incomplete information being conveyed within the scientific community. This shame belongs to the entire academic community. Turkish history and language possess a rich heritage, and Turkic peoples such as the Scythians, Huns, Avars, Khazars, Pechenegs, Kipchaks, Cumans, Ogurs, Bolgars, and Chuvash are found throughout Eurasia. Simply looking at place names, proper names, and archaeological data is sufficient. Even kurgans are of Turkic, not Indo-European, origin. The word kurgan itself derives from the Turkish word "korugan," meaning "to protect." Indo-Europeans must finally realize that they cannot write history without the Turkic World. "Dismissing" or "ignoring" another civilization is another form of racism.

Dionysos and Shamanism

 

Comparison

Attis playing the drum, wearing a Phrygian cap (from Anatolia) and a Kam (shaman) from Siberia 

Roman Imperial Attis wearing a Phrygian cap and performing a cult dance. Cybele's consort is the Phrygian shepherd called Attis, and their relationship was recognized in ancient Greece and Rome, though there are likely Phrygian roots to his character as well. Attis is believed to be her younger mate, often considered to be a deity himself, though beneath the goddess. It is highly debated whether Attis arrived with Cybele or after her, tacked on by the later Greek and Roman followers.

During the Roman Empire, the myth circulated that Attis castrated a king and was thus castrated in turn, and left to die under a pine tree. His followers buried him and then castrated themselves in his honor. These followers developed into Cybele's cult of priests, called the Galli.

... But, you women who have left Tmolos, the bulwark of Lydia, my sacred band, whom I have brought from among the barbarians as assistants and companions to me, take your drums, native instruments of the city of the Phrygians, the invention of mother Rhea and myself... (Dionysus; Euripides, Bacchae)


* Neither the name nor Dionysus himself is of Greek origin, he says "I come from the east"

* Tmolos is a mountain, Bozdağ, Manisa/Turkey


... O secret chamber of the Kouretes and you holy Cretan caves, parents to Zeus, where the Korybantes with triple helmet invented for me in their caves this circle, covered with stretched hide; and in their excited revelry they mingled it with the sweet-voiced breath of Phrygian pipes and handed it over to mother Rhea, resounding with the sweet songs of the Bacchae... (Euripides, Bacchae)


* Neither the name nor Bacchos himself is of Greek origin.

Comes from "Bakşi (Bakshi)", which is Turkish, "religious people, followers, priest, priestess". The religious teachers of Buddha, or Burkan in Turkish, who were descendants of the Sakas, were called Bakshi and they would get drunk and engage in excessive behavior, as in the Dionysian festivals. The Shaman's attire is called "manyak (maniac)." Therefore, the name "Maenads," priestess of Bacchos who performed ecstatic movements at Dionysian festivals, is derived from the word "manyak (maniac)." The word is of Turkish origin.


* At some point, Anatolian mother goddess Kybele (Cybele) became Gaia or Rhea  in Greek and Rome myths.

* Korybantes are the sons of Apollon and Thalia (a muse), and priests of Kybele. But, "korubantes (y=u)" is a Turkish word; Koru, korumak "to protect, guard, secure".

* Kybele is Kubebe in Lydian geography, but also the name of a princess in Sumerian, who was later deified. It is mentioned as Kubaba in Hittite inscriptions (Kültepe). So, Kybele is not from Phrygia or Thrace.

* Barbarians = People who does not speak Greek.

* Shamanism does not exist in Greek culture. (Gladstone)

* "Phrygian pipes" - not necessarily a Phrygian culture. Because there are Scythian (Sacae/Saka) and Kimmerian tribes who lived in this region. And we do know that these flutes are Scythian of origin. This also applies to the "Phrygian hat," because the same "headdresses" was worn by the Sakas (Scythians) in Central Asia, who had no connection with the "Phrygians."

Turkish Culture; Çevgen (Chevgen)

 

Seljuk #Turks Playing Chevgen (Polo), 13th c.

Ball and Stick, 1000-800 BC, from Turfan and

Coat of Arms of Mamluk Turks, 12th-13th c.


Chevgen (Çevgen/Çevgan/Çöğen), known as Polo to the Westerners, is a Turkish tradition and culture. The game, which has been practiced as "riding training" since the 6th century BC, was also played for entertainment during diplomatic negotiations and congresses.

* The Saka Turks performed their riding training by wrapping an enemy's skull in a piece of textile, which is why Saka Queen Tomyris' revenge against Cyrus the Great included his "skull."

* The oldest piece of chevgen equipment ever was found was in Turfan, East Turkestan; the artifacts date back to 1000-800 BC. The leather covered balls were found in three separate kurgans in 2003 (in total 3000 kurgans). The world's oldest trousers (1500 BC) was also found in Turfan, which also belongs to the Turkish history.

(PS. The Achaemenid/Achaemenids, which is known today as "Persians," did not exist at that time!)

* In the Shahnameh, Persians and Turanians (Turks) play a match, and of course, in the Shahnameh, written with an Persian perspective, the Turks, referred as "novices", win. However, not only is the fact that the Shahnameh was writing in the eleventh century, but the ancient inhabitants of the region, the Saka-Scythian Turks, also not mentioned as Turkic tribes. The Turanians in the Shahnameh is the tribe of Alp Er Tonga (=Afrasiab, also the clan of Tomyris (Tomris, still a female name among Turks). It should also be remembered that the game was played during the Safavid period in İran, and the Safavids, who are also Turk, was considered as "Iranians." For this reason, many "Western travelers" or sources claim that Polo was invented by the Persians. This was completely misunderstanding, misleading and false info (and still ongoing).

* Chevgen (çevgen) entered India from the Himalayas with the Saka and Hun Turks, and was played by the Mughal Turks (the founder is Babur, from the Timurid Dynasty).

* The Chinese encountered the chevgen (through those who left the Asian-Hun and Turkic Khaganates) during the Tang Dynasty (partly a Turk dynasty), and used them to train their "cavalry." In fact, many Turkic traditions and cultures were copied by the Chinese during this period, such as wearing trousers or knotting the tails of their horses.

* Chevgen, which was also enjoyed by the Mamluk, Kipchak, Seljuk, and Ottoman periods. Was also played by Eastern Roman nobles in the twelfth century. Anna Komnene's book the Alexiad, describes the Turkish commander Tatikios and Alexios playing a type of chevgen called "Tzikanistirion." The emperor even fell from his horse and injured his knee. It is also known that Turkish women played chevgen, challenging the men.

* After the martyrdom of Husayn (Hüseyin; son of Ali and Fatma and grandson of Mohammed) and the beheading, which affected Muslim Turks (especially those living in Türkiye), chevgen game was banned among Muslims for centuries. Of course, dismounting and sedentary lifestyle were the other factors.

* According to a legend, Darius sent a ball and a stick to insult Alexander. This event is also used in the Scottish epic "King Alexander" and Shakespeare's "Henry V." However, they never played in Scotland or in England, until the 19th century. In the 1850s, it was brought to England from India, by British who were colonizing the land. But it became a pastime for the "nobility." The British also adapted the word "Pulu" (ball), which they learned in India, to Polo.

* Azerbaijani Turks embraced this Turkish culture and brought it back to life, even had added to UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage List in 2013 as "Chevgan/Chovgan" (ancient Karabakh horse-sport game). Thus, this also invalidated the claims of Iran, China, India, and England that this game was "theirs."


This "game" is 100% an invention of the Turks.

"Playing" it without a saddle or stirrups requires skills...

Response to Jackson Crawford

 


Response to Jackson Crawford's YT video "Norse runes are not from Turkic runes":


The Orkhon inscriptions are a literary masterpiece; we cannot say they have no history. Based on the available evidence, their origins are currently based on the Issyk Kul inscription, which dates to the 5th century BC. The Issyk Kul inscription was read in Turkish. Over the centuries, Scythians, Huns, and Khazars—all Turkic tribes—mingled with the Scandinavians. The inscriptions of these communities are identical to the Orkhon inscriptions. They read the Svingerud inscription, which they consider the oldest Scandinavian inscription (50 BC-250/75 AD), as "idiberug," which is Turkish.


bek+(i, (i)t, (i)ş, (i)n, (i)l, (i)tir, ü, (ü)t ; üt "secret, hidden", (ü)r.

berk = solid, solid, hard

berk, bek = power, strength, strong, powerful

berkit, bekit = to bind tightly, to strengthen, to root = be(r)kü - (k/g)

berke = whip

berk+(it, le)


idi = owner - possessor; edi, äydi.

idiberug = the owner is berug (berug here is a name).


Usage in proper names:

Berdibeğ = 13th Khagan of the Golden Horde Empire (From history books)

Bergü = Generous, intelligent person. (From the Dictionary of İbn-i Mühenna - Ibn Muhenna)

Berginsenge (Uyghur Dictionary)

Berk = Solid (Divan-ı Luga't-it Türk by Mahmud al-Kashgari)

Berke = Third Khagan of the Golden Horde (From history books)

Berkiş = From the Kipchak-Cuman names (From history books)

Berkyaruk = Fifth Khagan of the Western Turkic Empire. Son of Melikşah, son of Alp Arslan. (From history books)


İdiberug, possibly similar to the proper name "İdikut, İdikurt";

İdikut = Title of the Uyghur Khagans.


/quote/

From the University of Oslo/link:

 - On the front face of the stone, eight runes stand out more clearly than other inscriptions. Converted into Roman letters they spell: idiberug. The ways of writing older inscriptions varied considerably and the language changed a lot between the time when these runes were carved and the Viking Age and the Middle Ages. Interpreting the messages on the stone is therefore a challenge.  “The text may refer to a woman called Idibera and the inscription could mean "For Idibera". Other possibilities are that idiberug is the rendering of a name such as Idibergu, or perhaps the kin name Idiberung. And there are other possible interpretations – as common with early runic inscriptions,” says Professor Zilmer. (...) “The stone has several kinds of inscriptions. Some lines form a grid pattern and there are small zigzag figures and other interesting features. Not all inscriptions have a linguistic meaning. It’s possible that someone has imitated, explored or played with the writing. Maybe someone was learning how to carve runes," says Professor Zilmer. There is still a lot of research to be done, but Professor Zilmer is certain that they will obtain a lot more valuable knowledge in the future about the early history of runic writing and the custom of making rune stones. - /end quote/


The conclusion I reached is the same as Prof. Zilmer's... but in Turkish.


Also, the "tamga" that corresponds to the eb/ev sound in the Orkhon inscription has the same meaning as in the Old Futhark inscription:

*ōþila-/*ōþala- = "heritage, estate, possession"


Greetings from Türkiye,

SB


Also : The origin of the runic scripture is Eurasia.The tribes on the direction of silk road saw the runic scripture in the eastern tribes,adapted it into their language,formed their scripture system. I believe that ; many Turkish runic tablet are seen in European countries,especially in Scandinavia.The tablets were in Turkish, somehow a forgetten or vanished dialect, written by nations that are assimilated in time or dissappeared and the tablets reach there during the Hunas age and after for any reason. - Mehmet Turgay Kürüm / link

Issyk inscription, 5th c BC



By Zaur Hasanov (link to academia)


The name "Golden Man" deciphered by Zaur Hasanov, Azerbaijani scientist.

The name contained in the inscription on a silver bowl from the mound.

Scientist of Azerbaijan considers that the famous "Golden Man" from Issyk barrow in life called Syngly, the newspaper "Echo". Recall, "The Golden Man" so called remains of war or prince Saka, It was found in a burial mound on the shore of Issyk river in 1969.

Conclusions on behalf of the Institute of Archeology and Ethnography of the National Academy of Sciences of Azerbaijan Zaur Hasanov made after deciphering the inscription on a silver bowl, which among other things found in the mound.

"As demonstrated by the reading of the runic inscriptions of the Issyk barrow on the basis of phonetics Orkhon-Yenisey ancient Near Eastern characters, the inscription has a Turkic origin. The original inscription written as follows:

"Dört bul küz Sınglıyı ır - 

"Dünyanın dörd (küncü) tərəfindəki tayfalar Sınqlıya nəğmə qoşur", 

Uş yüz yığ anta ıçır - 

"Üç yüz ağlar gözlü and içir". 

And its translation is as follows:

"Four (angles) of the compass tribes Syngly sing.

Three hundred mourners oath to drink. "

And we were able to identify a number of grammatical, historical, including references to Herodotus and  "History of Han Chinese dynasty" as well as literary evidence, confirming the accuracy of the reading is the inscription."

According to him, the title "Golden Man" Syngly identical to the name divine blade "Ching-lu" which belonged to the Emperor of the Huns. This scientist says that, according to Chinese and Greek sources, Huns erected temples in honor of "Ching -lu" or "Syngly" in the form of an iron sword, set on a quadrangular platform on top of a hill. The inscriptions from the mound "Golden Man" tribes, surrounding the king, presented the figure 4 ( "Four corners of the tribes"), scientist noted.

Also, representatives of tribal alliance divided into three hundred. A vow drink - It means the rite of the Scythians, when blood is mixed with the wine in the cup, dipped to weapons and drink it as a secure contract.

Also, the historian noted that "Golden man" He belonged to the tribe, call themselves cuz (куз). "The Persians called all Scythians by name Saka closest to him Scythian tribe. The Russian science this people called Scythians. But I was able to establish, that in the Greek text the word skiff does not exist. This is a distorted version of the Russian. In Greek sources called Scythians cuz (куз) (skuzes-SB). The Assyrian and Babylonian inscriptions called Scythians-ish cuz (иш-куз)   and ash-goose (аш-гуз). (ishguz and ashguz - SB). As we can see, using the name of the people is the word Goose. Explanation Issyk inscription showed, themselves Issyk tribes also called themselves cuz. All of these names are identical to the name of Oguz "- noted the historian.

Имя "Золотого человека" расшифровал азербайджанский ученый

Имя содержалось в надписи на серебряной чаше из кургана.

Ученый из Азербайджана считает, что знаменитого "Золотого человека" из Иссыкского кургана в жизни звали Сынглы, сообщает газета "Эхо". Напомним, "Золотой человек", так назвали останки война или царевича саков, был найден в кургане на берегу реки Иссык в 1969 году.

Выводы о его имени сотрудник Института археологии и этнографии НАН Азербайджана Заур Гасанов сделал после расшифровки надписи на серебряной чаше, которую среди других вещей нашли в кургане. "Как показало чтение этой рунической надписи из Иссыкского кургана на основе фонетики орхоно-енисейских древних ближневосточных знаков, надпись имеет тюркское происхождение. 

В оригинале надпись записана следующим образом: 

"Dört bul küz Sınglıyı ır - 

"Dünyanın dörd (küncü) tərəfindəki tayfalar Sınqlıya nəğmə qoşur", 

Uş yüz yığ anta ıçır - 

"Üç yüz ağlar gözlü and içir". 

А ее перевод таков: 

"Четырех (углов) сторон света племена Сынглы воспевают. Три сотни оплакивающих клятву пьют". Причем нам удалось выявить целый ряд грамматических, исторических, включая ссылки на Геродота и "Историю китайской династии Хань", а также литературных свидетельств, подтверждающих достоверность именно такого прочтения надписи", - сказал он.

По его словам, титул "Золотого человека" Сынглы идентичен названию божественного клинка  "Чинг-лу", который принадлежал императору всех хуннов. При этом ученый отмечает, что, по данным китайских и греческих источников, хунны воздвигали храмы в честь "Чинг -лу" или "Сынглы" в виде железного меча, установленного на четырехугольной площадке на вершине холма. В надписи из кургана "Золотого человека" племена, окружающие царя, представлены цифрой 4 ("племена четырех углов"), отмечает ученый. Также представители племенного союза делятся на три сотни. А клятву пьют - означает обряд скифов, когда в чаше кровь смешивают с вином, погружают туда оружие и пьют ее в качестве закрепления договора.

Также историк отметил, что "Золотой человек" принадлежал к племени, называвшему себя куз. "Персы называли всех скифов сака по названию наиболее близкого к ним скифского племени. В русской науке этот народ называют скифы. Но мне удалось установить, что в древнегреческих текстах слова скиф не существует. Это искаженная русская версия. В греческих источниках скифов называют куз. В ассирийских и вавилонских надписях скифов называют иш-куз и аш-гуз. Как мы видим, основой названия этого народа является слово гуз. Расшифровка Иссыкской надписи показала, что сами иссыкские племена также называли себя куз. Все эти названия идентичны названию огузов", - отметил историк.

2600-year-old Issyk Inscription.

Two lines of Saka inscription that changed view on the history of the Türkic people

The oldest inscription in Türkic alphabet, the Issyk Inscription, written on a flat silver drinking cup, was found in 1970 in a royal tomb located within Balykchy ( Issyk), a town in Kyrgyzstan near Lake Issyk, and was dated by 5-th c. BC.

In the tomb was a body of a man dressed from head to toe in magnificent attire, the clothes, jacket, pants, socks, and boots all had a total of 4,800 attached pieces of pure gold, greatest ever found in a tomb except Pharaoh Tutankhamen. 

The top of the cone-shaped crown covering ears and neck carried golden arrows emblem. A sword on the belt right side and a knife on the left were in sheaths. Beautiful relief ornaments of animal art decorated shields, belt and front of the hat. Radiocarbon tests determined the age of the finds as belonging to the fifth century BC. 

What was the world in the 5-th century BC? 

We have archeological discoveries, where dating is almost always somewhat speculative, and reconstructions of the ancient Greek maps, and the views of the Mesopotamian and Chinese records. 

From the Mesopotamian, Chinese, and Greek texts, from the archeological discoveries of the kurgans, from the written monuments, we get a glimpse of the nomadic nations of the Central Asia in the 5-th c. BC. The various interpretations of the graphics and contents of the inscription witness the paucity of the finds and the potential for the studies.

The difficulties in interpreting the same spelling are not staggering, all researchers working with texts not broken into words encounter them, and the task is complicated by the absence of vowels even if the modern language is known and a scribe is perfect, the bsncfvwls can be parsed quite differently, in addition to the “absence of vowels”. 

On another hand, with the today's capabilities, we can generate a list of possible options in seconds, given that we know most of the consonants, and have appropriate dictionaries and algorithms. This is, of course, applicable to any text with partially known phonetics, like the phonetized record of the Hunnic phrase. We should welcome the fact that the discussion finally broke off from the closeted bounds to the public review on the Internet.

And at last, the contents of the inscription finally fall within the known Türkic ethnological tradition of raising a leader to a throne, be he styled Shanyu or Khan or whatever: the chalice deposited with the Prince and its inscription appear to be the ceremonial cup he used to swear his oath of office during coronation, before being raised on a felt carpet and carried prescribed number of times around the Assembly of representatives. The departed was given his chalice, along with all other travel necessities, for the arduous travel to the other world.
