Here are some deities and major gods and spirits in Tengrism and Turkic mythology Major gods Gok Tengri - God of Sky. Creator of everything. Tengri was the main god of the Turkic pantheon, controlling the celestial sphere. Kayra (or Kaira) - Supreme God of universe. He is the Spirit of God...

The same goes for the Turkic peoples in Russia like Chuvashes and Volga Tatars. Almost all Chuvashs and many Tatars can pass as Russian and also as Finno-Ugrics like Mari people or Mordovians. There was strong intermingling between Bulgars, Slavs and Finno-Ugrics in Russia though at the end...

The Proto-Bulgars were definitely Turkic. There are enough linguistic evidences that the Bulgars spoke a Oghuric Turkic language like Chuvashs. However they were absorbed, assimilated and Christianized by South Slavs but their ethnonym still survives in the modern Slavic-speaking Bulgarians

I find the Bulgars to be one of the most fascinating and interesting Turkic peoples The Bulgars (also Bolgars, Bulghars, Proto-Bulgarians,[1] Huno-Bulgars[2]) were a semi-nomadic Turkic people who flourished in thePontic Steppe and the Volga basin in the 7th century AD.[3][4] Ethnically, the...

Uzbeks are genetically Eurasian and not fully Mongoloid. They can range from Middle Eastern Persian looking to Mongolic looking

The Sakas were most likely absorbed and assimilated by the migrating Turks since the 5th century Late Antiquity (AD 300 to 600) In Late Antiquity, the notion of a Scythian ethnicity grew more vague and outsiders might dub any people inhabiting the Pontic-Caspian steppe as "Scythians"...

The Siege of Baghdad, which lasted from January 29 until February 10, 1258, entailed the investment, capture, and sacking of Baghdad, the capital of the Abbasid Caliphate, by Ilkhanate Mongol forces and allied troops. The Mongols were under the command of Hulagu Khan, brother of the khagan...

I don't find that surprising at all because Uighurs are generally very conservative and religious even more than Uzbeks. They also don't drink alcohol unlike Kazakhs or Kyrgyz who are heavy drinkers.

The national hero of Tatarstan Söyembikä (also spelled Söyenbikä, Sujumbike, pronounced [sœˌjœmbiˈkæ]; Cyrillic:Сөембикә) (1516 – after 1554) was a Tatar ruler, xanbikä. She was the regent of her son Kazan khan Ütämeşgäräy in (1549–51), the daughter of Nogay nobleman Yosıf bäk and the wife of...

Baloch people are culturally and linguistically Iranian just like Persians, Gilakis, Lurs and Kurds. You don't need to exclude them from the Iranian Meta-ethnicity just because they're Sunnis

Topic is about Turkic countries forming an some type of joint Armed forces.... "Türk Dili Konuşan Ülkeler İşbirliği Konseyi 4. Zirvesi" has not nothing to do with it. They discussed about energy, transportation and culture not about millitary stuff. Yeap, but they are the black sheep of the...

Most Turks are neutral about Pakistan. The only Turks who feel kinship with Pakistanis are neo-ottomanists or hardcore Muslims but they see every Muslim folk as "brother" anyway. Most Turks I know have a neutral view about Pakistan

I'm not surprised that Turks view the influence of Pakistan as mainly negative. The average Turk sees Pakistan as another terrorist state that interpretates Islam wrong.

No it shouldn't become a mosque because there is a blue mosque, where Muslims can prey just 100 metres away from the Hagia Sophia. The Hagia Sophia reflects the unique history and culture of two world empires. It's the symbol of Istanbul and it was a wise decision from Ataturk to change the...

The Timurid dynasty (Persian: تیموریان‎), self-designated Gurkānī [3][4][5](Persian: گوركانى‎), was a Sunni Muslim Persianate[6][7] dynasty of Turco-Mongol lineage[7][8][9][10] which ruled over modern-day Iran, the Caucasus,Mesopotamia, Afghanistan, much of Central Asia, as well as parts of...

The Kara-Khanid Khanate (Persian: قَراخانيان‎, Qarākhānīyān or خاقانيه‎,Khakānīya, Chinese: 黑汗, 桃花石) was a Turkic dynasty that ruled in Transoxiana in Central Asia, ruled by a dynasty known in literature as theKarakhanids (also spelt Qarakhanids) or Ilek Khanids.[3] Both dynastic names...

Well, Chuvash is basically distinct to all Turkic languages That's the reason why scholars believe this: The conclusion that Chuvash belongs to the Oghuric branch of Turkic arises from the reasoning that the vocabulary shows the language to belong to the r- and l- type which is typical for all...
