Siberian field in The Turkish epics of the sacred assets and objects

In order for the national epics to be formed, it is necessary for the nation to pass great events that will affect them very much. When we examine the Turkish epics, we can see that the Turkish Nation, who lived in a great geography in ancient times, formed these legends which are explained by the events of nature, wars, drought, famine and similar developments. Turkish peoples have left their religious and cultural traces in the geographical region they have lived. Today's Turkish communities seem to have maintained some of their rituals dating from ages, even though they have undergone major changes in their homes, religions and lifestyles. Many of the practices that have been applied to the genres of Turkish culture are also found in Anatolian lands. In this study, where the Turks emerged and known as the homeland of the Asian continent; the sacred beings and objects in the epics of Yakut (Saha), Tuva, Hakas, Shor and Altai Turks who have lived and still live in the Siberian Field covering the area from the Ural Mountains to the Pacific Ocean within the territory of the Russian Federation. In this study, firstly, the Turkish peoples living in Siberia and the geography they live in were briefly informed and the concept of "kut", which is believed to exist in the objects and entities attributed to holiness, was emphasized. Later, the sacred beings and sacred objects encountered in the epic texts were examined in three main headings. In the first chapter, the sacred beings in the Siberian Field Turkish Epics were identified and explained with examples. These beings, which are thought to be sacred, are classified as Main Elements, Auxiliary Elements and Opposite Power Elements by taking into account their duties in the epic texts. In the second chapter, sacred objects encountered in epic texts were examined. These objects are examined under the headings of Place - Water Elements and Objects Used in Everyday Life. In the third chapter, the Astral Elements attributed to holiness are examined. In this study, the works written about the Turkish and world mythology and shamanism with the saga texts published in the bibliography of the people of the region were examined and various results were reached. As a result of the study, it is concluded that the sacred assets and objects in the epic texts of the people of the region are still continuing and that there are many similar beliefs in Anatolia.
