Abstract (EN)
The Sirius culture is comprised of the entirety of beliefs, narrations and practices emerging around the the star Sirius, which is accepted as holy in many civilizations on earth. It is possible to come across traces and indications of Sirius in Turkish mythology, very similar to those prevalent in Mu, Atlantis, Ancient Egypt, Ancient Greece, Rome, Mesopotamia, China, India and the African Dogon. The themes of "the sky god", "wolf/dog", "bow - arrow" and "star", which constitute the most important themes of the Sirius culture, are also among the most important themes of Turkish mythology. The actual aim of the present thesis, which covers the results of our research on whether identical effects take place in the foundations of cultures that display such a high degree of similarity, is to reach a concluding regarding the question whether or not the information about the star pair Sirtius A and Sirius B that turns into a secret at certain points take place in Turkish myths and sagas.Key Words:1.Sirius2.Sky God3.Wolf - Dog4.Bow - Arrow5.Star
