On The Study Of The Oguznoma Epic

Abstract

It is known that religious movements such as Shamanism, Zoroastrianism, Monism, Buddhism have a special place in the ideology of the Turkic peoples. Each of these religious currents gave rise to separate appearances of ancient Turkic literature. For this reason, scholars emphasize the need to approach ancient Turkic literature from a broader, new perspective. They say that ancient Turkic literature should be studied in the context of monasticism, shamanism, and Buddhism. The epic "Oguznoma" is also an example of ancient Turkic literature and is one of the common heritage of the Turkic peoples.
