Sacred elements in ancient Turkish

The sky has been considered sacred for many reasons such as the movement of clouds and planets, and the falling of rain, suggesting the presence of creative and influential elements. Indeed, elements like the Sun and the Moon have been attributed with sanctity by people due to their effects on the Earth.

Umay, on the other hand, is a protective Goddess responsible for birth and newborns.
