Renowned for his fearless and just nature, Odin played a crucial role in epic stories, legends, and poems. He exhibited leadership qualities that surpassed his contemporaries, consistently standing at the forefront against injustice. His dual nature of ruthlessness paired with compassionate governance won him widespread respect and admiration, not only among his own people but across the broader world. Odin's legacy includes both his martial prowess and his fair, honest, and protective rule.
00:30 - 01:00: Deification and Immortality of Odin In this chapter, the attributes and adjectives associated with Odin are explored, which grant him supernatural powers and immortality. These qualities elevate him to the status of a god and ensure his tales are passed down through generations.
01:00 - 01:30: Odin's Connection to the Turks The chapter explores the connections between the legendary figure Odin and the Turkish people. It presents various assumptions made by different experts, such as historians and archaeologists, about Odin's origins and his potential links to the Turks. The chapter highlights the significant claim made by Professor Sven Lagerbring, who is recognized as a pioneer in Swedish history, positing that Odin was, in fact, Turkish. The summary indicates that this topic has been widely studied through various research, books, and articles.
01:30 - 02:30: Prof. Sven Lagerbring's Arguments Prof. Sven Lagerbring argues that Odin, the leader of the group 'Tirkiar' and 'Assiamen' in the tale 'Harwarar', came from Tyrkland. He suggests that due to similarities between Turkish and Swedish languages and mythology, Odin may have been Turkish.
02:30 - 03:30: Futhark Inscriptions and Turkish Connection Professor Lagerbring, a key figure in Swedish historiography, suggests that Odin and his sons introduced the Turkish alphabet to Northern Europe. This form of writing, known as the 'Runic Alphabet,' has been identified from Norway to Central Asia and was used in the Orkhon Inscriptions. The Scandinavian instances of these inscriptions are referred to as 'Futhark Inscriptions'.
03:30 - 04:30: Thor Heyerdahl's Research In this chapter, the focus is on Thor Heyerdahl's research into Futhark Inscriptions found in Sweden and Norway. Lagerbring, who authored a book in 1764 titled 'Similarities of Swedish and Turkish,' suggests a connection between these two languages. He even makes a bold claim that 'Odin is Turkish.' Ali Nuri Dilmeç, originally from Sweden, converted to Islam upon moving to Istanbul. He translated Lagerbring's book into Turkish in the 1930s, indicating an ongoing interest and exploration of these linguistic and cultural connections.
04:30 - 06:30: Opposition and Support for Heyerdahl's Theories The chapter discusses the lack of attention Turkish nationalism received during certain years, despite being a period characterized by it. It highlights Professor Thor Heyerdahl, a traveling scientist who supports the hypothesis of Odin being Turkish. Heyerdahl is notable for adapting his theories to real life and personally investigating the geographical locations referenced in his studies.
06:30 - 07:30: The Ynglinga Saga and Odin's Turkish Roots In this chapter, Heyerdahl embarks on a journey with a team of researchers from Azerbaijan and Russia to explore the theory that Odin and the As people once resided in Asov, a region located north of the Black Sea and east of the Don River. His main focus is to gather evidence that supports claims made by Snore Storlersson in his book "Edda," which recounts tales of various settlements and was later referenced by Professor Sven Lagebring.
07:30 - 10:30: Turkish Tribes and Turkland The chapter discusses Thor Heyerdahl's book "Jakten Pa Odin" (In the Footsteps of Odin), where he explores the origins of the word "Azeri" by connecting it to "Asar," based on his research in certain geographical locations. Additionally, the chapter references the Göktürk inscriptions, mentioning people known as "az budun" who reached the plains north of the Altay Mountains.
10:30 - 12:00: Turkish Culture and Fire Cult The chapter discusses the controversial views of historian Heyerdahl, who hypothesized about the connections between Turkish culture and Vikings, suggesting that there might have been influences or contacts. Heyerdahl's ideas were dismissed by many researchers and historians, labeling his work as fabricated. The chapter also notes the resistance from those who considered themselves pure-blooded Vikings, as they deemed Heyerdahl's hypotheses nonsensical. Despite his works being translated into many languages, his book 'In Search of Odin' remains untranslated in Swedish, indicating the extent of the opposition to his ideas.
12:00 - 14:30: Runic Inscriptions and Turkish Language In this chapter, the narrative addresses the critique aimed at Professor Heyerdahl, particularly from a team of opponents who challenge the foundations of Heyerdahl's work. They argue that the branches of science Heyerdahl references are insufficient and that the reliance on Scandinavian stories and mythologies, as compiled by Storlersson, undermines the book's scientific credibility. Consequently, they claim that 'In the Footsteps of Odin' does not qualify as a research or science book grounded in contemporary understanding.
14:30 - 19:00: Mythological Symbols and Their Turkish Counterparts This chapter delves into the interpretations made by historians, such as Olaf Sundqvist, about the 'Ynglinge Saga' recorded by Snorre Sturlusson. Sundqvist argues that the saga is not merely a Christian composition from the 1100s, but an ancient epic with roots tracing back 800 years, emphasizing Sturlusson's deep cultural knowledge and integrity. The chapter suggests that the Icelanders were well-versed in their history, allowing them to discern authenticity from falsehood. It hints at an exploration of mythological symbols and their equivalents in Turkish culture, considering the historical and cultural perspectives presented by past scholars.
19:00 - 21:00: The Tree of Life in Different Cultures The chapter explores the work of Thor Heyerdahl, particularly his research methods. Investigative journalists Stein Bromark and Dag Herbjornsrud revisited Heyerdahl's research to assess its accuracy. Their extensive study culminated in a comprehensive 464-page book titled 'Norway is a Small Piece of World History' in 2005, providing a critical analysis of Heyerdahl's findings.
21:00 - 25:00: Magical Stones and Weather Control This chapter discusses the respect and honor that Norwegians should have for Thor Heyerdahl. The book supports Heyerdahl's research and dismisses the criticisms against him as baseless. It also mentions that in 2000, Heyerdahl reached out to Turgay Kürüm, who is known for his work on runic writings, establishing communication through a letter.
25:00 - 30:00: Jormungandr and Underground Motifs Stated that he followed his work closely and discussed his book 'On the Trail of Odin'. He intended to use his works for a new book but his death in 2002 left it unfinished. The 'Yngline Saga', first of 16 chapters in the 'Heimskringla' epic compiled by Professors Lagerbring and an early source Snore Storlersson, mentions Odin and the Turk.
30:00 - 35:30: Sacred Animals: The Crow and the Wolf This chapter discusses sacred animals with a focus on the crow and the wolf. It mentions a geographical and possibly mythical description of lands such as "Asaland" or "Asheim" to the east of the Don River, associated with a central castle named "Asgard". Additionally, the chapter references the mountainous region separating Sweden from other countries and highlights the proximity of Tyrkland, where Odin is said to have significant possessions.
35:30 - 43:00: The Eight-Legged Horse in Mythologies Chapter 12 discusses the journey of Sveigdir, who came to power after his father. He vowed with Godheimer to visit Odin, also known as "Gamli." Accompanied by 12 companions, Sveigdir embarked on a global journey, making significant stops in Tyrkland (Turkey) and Svidjod (Sweden), where he encountered numerous relatives along the way—a quest that spanned five years.
43:00 - 47:00: Migration Patterns and Cultural Influence The chapter titled 'Migration Patterns and Cultural Influence' begins with a description of Europe, also known as Enea. This region is characterized by its beauty and lush vegetation. It is described as situated centrally in the world, famous for its distinctive qualities.
47:00 - 50:00: Concluding Remarks on Odin's Identity The chapter discusses a magnificent castle built in ancient Troy, located in present-day Turkey. This place was noted for its impressive size and the value placed on handicrafts, highlighting a rich cultural and historical significance.
ODİN VE TÜRKLER | TEK PARÇA | #tarih #odin #iskandinavya #mitoloji #türkmitolojisi Transcription
00:00 - 00:30 In known history, Odin is a legendary and later deified hero of the Scandinavian nation. There are epic stories, legends and poems about Odin. There have been wars related to these. Odin is not only a hero of importance to the Scandinavian nation. He was a leader who was beyond the understanding capacity of the people during his time and showed much superior characteristics than the leaders of his period. His fearless stance, his justice, his always being at the forefront in the face of injustice, his ruthlessness, but also his ability to govern his people and the people outside his own with compassion, honesty, truthfulness and feelings of ownership, made the whole world respect and admire Odin.
00:30 - 01:00 These adjectives gave Odin supernatural powers, adorned him with immortality, made him a god, and enabled him to be told from generation to generation.
01:00 - 01:30 So who actually was Odin? To what extent was he related to the Turks? Various historians, journalists, linguists and archaeologists have made many assumptions about Odin that create continuity on different subjects. The most important of these is the assumption that Odin is Turkish. We have compiled many research, books and articles related to this subject for you. The person who first put forward the assumption that Odin was Turkish was Historian Writer Professor Sven Lagerbring, known as the founder of Swedish history and honored with the "Nobility Award".
01:30 - 02:00 According to Lagerbring: "God Odin was the leader of a large crowd called 'Tirkiar' and 'Assiamen' in the tale 'Harwarar'." In Swedish tales, it is said that Odin came from Tyrkland. Prof. Based on the similarities between Lagerbring Turkish and Swedish, as well as similarities in mythology, "Odin is Turkish." says.
02:00 - 02:30 Professor Lagerbring, the father of Swedish historiography, notes that Odin and his sons also brought the Turkish alphabet to Northern Europe. This alphabet, known as the "Runic Alphabet", is widely seen from Norway to Central Asia until the Orkhon Inscriptions. The inscriptions written with this alphabet found in Scandinavia are called "Futhark Inscriptions".
02:30 - 03:00 According to Lagerbring, there are some inscriptions written in Futhark Inscriptions in Sweden and Norway that are still unread. Lagerbring, who published a book called "Similarities of Swedish and Turkish" about the grammatical word similarities between Turkish and Swedish in 1764, even wrote in that book "Odin is Turkish." He didn't hold back from saying this. Diplomat Ali Nuri Dilmeç, who was originally from Sweden but converted to Islam after moving to Istanbul at the age of 17, later translated his book into Turkish in the thirties.
03:00 - 03:30 However, although those were the period years of Turkish nationalism, it did not receive any attention and was not brought to the agenda. Another person who defends the hypothesis that Odin was Turkish is the traveling scientist Professor Thor Heyerdahl. He became known for adapting his works to real life, and preferred to personally examine the place names mentioned in his research.
03:30 - 04:00 Heyerdahl travels to the geography in question with researchers from Azerbaijan and Russia to investigate the assumption that Odin and the people of As lived in Asov, north of the Black Sea, east of the Don River. During his journey, he prioritizes collecting data that will justify Snore Storlersson, the author of the book "Edda", which compiles the stories of all the settlements and was used as a source by Professor Sven Lagebring.
04:00 - 04:30 As a result of his research there, he writes the book "Jakten Pa Odin", that is, In the Footsteps of Odin. Heyerdahl connects the root of the word "Azeri" to the word "Asar" in the geography he visited. In Göktürk inscriptions, the people who reached the plains north of the Altay Mountains are mentioned as "az budun".
04:30 - 05:00 Of course, these researches and trips made by Heyerdahl were not accepted by some researchers and all these studies were described as fabricated. In fact, "Heyerdahl is a fabricated historian." They even launched a major opposition campaign saying: Because those who considered themselves pure-blooded Vikings could not accept this assumption. For them, this could be nothing but mere nonsense. While all of Heyerdahl's books have been translated into Swedish, only In Search of Odin has not been translated.
05:00 - 05:30 Opponents of Professor Heyerdahl formed a team, stating that the branches of science on which Heyerdahl relied could not provide sufficient data, and that they accepted all the Scandinavian stories and mythologies compiled by Storlersson as if they were completely true. They have repeatedly stated that it cannot be a scientific book because of this. According to them, the book In the Footsteps of Odin is neither a research nor a science book based on modern knowledge.
05:30 - 06:00 Olaf Sundqvist, a historian of religion, said in 2004, "The 'Ynglinge Saga' that Snore Storlersson tells while establishing the history of the Northern Kings is not a Christian poem from the 1100s. It is an old epic from the eight hundred years ago. Storlersson was one of the most knowledgeable people who lived in Iceland 800 years ago." "It is inconceivable that he could have made all this up. He was also a lawyer with an excellent cultural upbringing. On the other hand, Icelanders know their own history and would not come across anything false." It is also known that he said:
06:00 - 06:30 In order to re-investigate Heyerdahl's research and find out the degree of its accuracy, two investigative journalists, Stein Bromark and Dag Herbjornsrud, examined Heyerdahl's research method and the information provided as a result of the research by doing more extensive research. As a result of the review, they concluded in 2005 with a 464-page book called "Norway is a Small Piece of World History".
06:30 - 07:00 They also stated that Norwegians should respect and honor Heyerdahl. This book, which supports Heyerdahl's research, has presented to the public in the light of evidence that the opposition to Heyerdahl is empty and absurd. In addition, Thor Heyerdahl reached out to the esteemed Turgay Kürüm, who has articles on runic writings, with a letter in 2000 and
07:00 - 07:30 stated that he followed his work closely, talked about his book On the Trail of Odin, and wanted to use his works for a future book. However, his death in 2002 caused this work to be left unfinished. In the Yngline Saga, which is the first of the 16 chapters of the Saga type epic 'Heimskringla', which tells the lives of the Norwegian kings and was compiled by Professor Lagerbring and one of Heyerdahl's sources, Snore Storlersson, in the 1220s, the following is written briefly about Odin and the Turk:
07:30 - 08:00 Chapter 2: "Tanaskil The land to the east of (Don River) (Asian Continent) was called "Asaland" or "Asheim". The main castle here was called "Asgard". Chapter 5: "A great mountain stretches from northeast to southwest. This separates Svidjod (Sweden) from other countries. South of the mountains, Tyrkland (Land of the Turks) is not far away. There Odin has great possessions."
08:00 - 08:30 Chapter 12: "Sveigdir came to power after his father. He swore with Godheimer to visit Odin "Gamli". He and his 12 companions traveled around the world. He came to Tyrkland and Svidjod (Turkey and Sweden) and met many of his relatives "This journey took 5 years." As another source, Edda contains the following. Farworard 3: "The world is divided into three. One is the part that enters from the south to the west, this is Africa. The south is very hot. It is burned by the sun. The second is called Europe or Enea. The northern part of this is cold and there is no grass. No one could sit, no one could live.
08:30 - 09:00 The third one is called Europe or Enea. It is the part that extends from the north and east side to the south. This part of the world is beautiful and covered with plants. It is also the middle of the world. is famous for."
09:00 - 09:30 Farworard 4: "The most magnificent castle in the world was built in a place we call "Tyrkland" (Turkey) near the middle of the world. This place was called Troy. This place was much larger than the others. Handicrafts were given importance regardless of the cost."
09:30 - 10:00 Farworad 10: "Odin and his wife knew many languages. He knew that with this wisdom he would keep her name very high in the north of the world. This made Odin want to leave Tyrkland." Farworard 11: "Odin set out towards the north and it is said that he came to the land called Saxony before reaching the north. It is further explained that he stayed here for a long time, gave duties to his sons to protect the country, set out again, and came to a country called "Reidgotaland" in the north and conquered it."
10:00 - 10:30 Farworard 12-13: "When King Gylffe of Svidjod (Sweden) heard that the Asiatics were coming, he went to meet them. He bowed to Odin and offered the sovereignty of his country. Wherever they went, happiness and peace always came. Odin gave him a beautiful treat in Sigtuna (near Stockholm). He chose the castle as a city. He established an order there with the lords, similar to the one in Troy. He placed 12 men in the city to rule the country according to the law.
10:30 - 11:00 Odin's son Yingve became the King of Sweden. "It would be said. Asians found wives for themselves in this country. They chose spouses for their sons. The Saxon and northern lineages became stronger in numbers. The language of Asia became a language spoken in all Northern countries. The recorded names of the ancestors followed this language."
11:00 - 11:30 According to what we understand from the narratives, there is no data indicating exactly where the Turks lived on the Asian continent. Some views argue that it is the Central Asian Turkestan Turkeli region (Turkmenistan), while some argue that it is the Azerbaijan (Scythia-Saka) region around the North Caucasus. Storlersson described the location of Turkland as Turkland, describing Azerbaijan behind the Caucasus mountains.
11:30 - 12:00 In other words, at that time, the geography of Azerbaijan was known as the place where Turks lived. If we open a parenthesis at this point, Virien de San Martin says the following, confirming Storlersson's statements: The name "As" or "Asi" is derived from the name "As", a large tribe related to the Scythian-Saka community that settled on the banks of Küçük Menderes in 1300 BC. "There is a very strong possibility that he came from the same height." Sergey Grigorovich Agacanov said, "10. In the 19th century, there were also Pechenegs and Ass among the Oghuzs."
12:00 - 12:30 Lev Nikolayevich Gumilev states that Ass lived among the Altai people in the Saya mountain range on the Asian continent. Biruni reports that the Ceyhun River flooded the Oghuz country and that the area here and the Ass migrated to the Caspian coast. Gryjimaylo states that He states that the Ass were one of the Turkish tribes.
12:30 - 13:00 On the other hand, the Ass, known as "Az", "Os", "Oz", "Us", "Uz" and given names such as Iski-Saka, spoke the Pecheneg dialect, one of the dialects of Turkish. In Byzantine sources, it is stated that the Thracian Plain was called Astike Plains, Küçük Menderes was called Astarpa, and the Etruscans called themselves Razena (Asena-Aşina). Going back to 'Farworard 12-13' , the place called "Asia Minor" is probably close to Asia. It is Anatolia,
13:00 - 13:30 because he talks about a place called Troy and calls this region the land of the Turks. In his article published in 2015, Archaeologist Rondu claims that Asgard is Asgarabat in Azerbaijan. John Tzetzes about Troy: "The Huns fought in the Trojan War. Because the army that Achilles brought with him consisted of Hun Bulgarians and mercenaries.
13:30 - 14:00 Haluk Berkman says: They spoke the same language with the "Arrow" tribes of the "Az" people. and they were called "Saka Akha". They invaded Crete Çanakkale Rhodes in 1600 BC. It is obvious that the cities of Troy, Assos and Lysimakhela were founded by the Pre-Turks and were later assimilated. The words Troy, Troy, Troy are synonymous with each other. "
14:00 - 14:30 Australian researcher Helmut Uhlig: Troy's name in Greek means ion or province. For this reason, since its name in the epic Iliad means Province = Country in Turkish, it is called "os", meaning osily, meaning the land of friends. The word Asia was in Hittite language, Asova, meaning the land of the Aces. We will examine more detailed information about Troy, Thrace and the Turks under another topic very soon.
14:30 - 15:00 Runic writings found in Scandinavia are generally considered in two categories: In the first category, they are called "Oldest Runic Writing" with 24 symbols. Those in the second category are called "Viking Age Runic Writing", that is, the 16-symbol Viking age. Only 10% of these 3500 inscriptions constitute the Oldest Runic Inscriptions. The Viking Age inscriptions, written in the 16-symbol alphabet, are read perfectly in the Nordic language from left to right.
15:00 - 15:30 It is known that this script was used in Scandinavia until the seventeenth century. The ancient inscriptions with 24 symbols were written from right to left, but since they were not read in any Nordic language, they are "magic writings from the time of Odin." It was said. When the Orkhon Inscriptions were first found, the scientific world believed for about a hundred years that these inscriptions were written by Vikings who went to Central Asia, but when these inscriptions were read in Turkish by Thomsen, it was thought and defended that the two inscriptions were not related to each other.
15:30 - 16:00 There are many researchers who read these inscriptions in Turkish. Another person who conducted important research on the assumption of Odin being Turkish is Kazım Mirşan. In 2004, Kazım Mirşan and Turgay Tüfekçioğlu visited the Swedish cities of Stockholm and Gotland and the Norwegian cities of Ogsburg and Bergen to see and examine approximately 3500 rock inscriptions in the Scandinavian geography.
16:00 - 16:30 They also visited libraries, museums and universities in this geography about the Futhard Runic Inscriptions. In the inscriptions, especially "Ap" "Akın" "Flight" "Er" "Erlik" "Ök" "Bu" "Ant" "Ur" "Ok" "Antız" "Uç" "Öc" "At" "On" "Arıl" The existence of words such as "An", "El", "Ekin", "Oy" and "Arrow" proved what was previously told in Scandinavian tales.
16:30 - 17:00 To give a few examples of Kazım Mirşan's readings, we can look at the following: Elder Futhark's first known inscription in the order Stenstad Inscription Torvika A Inscription Belland Inscription "I swear to God." Monk Wearmouth Inscription Inscription
17:00 - 17:30 Aspoe Inscription As you can see there are many inscriptions. We do not want to bore you by compressing the reading of all these into a single video. Our next research will be to explain how these inscriptions are read and some of the findings of the "Turkish-Turkish" family. To get information about the book containing all this information and Mr. Turgay Tüfekçioğlu's explanations on this subject, you can access it from the link below.
17:30 - 18:00 In addition, esteemed Haluk Tarcan makes the following determination based on Kazım Mirşan's research on the Turkish equivalent of the word Odin: "Od" also appears in Ottoman Turkish to mean fire. Its original form consists of two of the first stamps in Proto-Turkish, 'OĞ-AT', compressed into 'OT' as a result of thousands of years of use: meaning burning. Fire Cult is one of the three cult beliefs that constitute the product of the proto-Turkish culture and universal culture in the pre-Horse mythology and the starting point of the Universal culture. If a Khagan (king, commander, governor) has served his people well, been just, brave, faithful, and always acted according to God's command throughout his life, that person is 'OD', that is, thrown into the fire and burned.
18:00 - 18:30 And thus, this person's soul becomes 'OZ' and reaches God. Because if he obeys his God in the world and listens to the word of God, he becomes 'ONGUN', that is, he has the attributes of God in himself. When the kagan dies, his soul is burned to reach God. The word OT, the concept of OT includes a culture consisting of this cult, this belief.
18:30 - 19:00 From here comes the name of the Swedish God of War, Odin. Actually it should be OTİN (OTİNG). OT (fire), ENG (success), the success of reaching God... The success of being divine fire, the success of being holy fire... We can say FIRE KING. The first founded Swedish city was named: Serig, Sigtuna and Birka. In this last city, there are 600 kurgans, hence the "tradition of cremation", that is, the "cult of fire".
19:00 - 19:30 In this regard, we would like to make the following additions to the meaning expressed by the late Tarcan: The word mentioned here may be "ong" rather than "ing". Because "ong" literally means success.
19:30 - 20:00 Especially the word "on" means success. This success is not a normal success. In fact, spiritual success means maturity and completion. So what is this spiritual achievement? It means that God the Creator appreciates, approves, gives blessings, devotes oneself upon God's command, gives up oneself, burns and ignites for God. The concept of fire here essentially means the light of God.
20:00 - 20:30 "OD-ON" or "OD-NUN" may indirectly be equivalent to "ODUN" today. Because wood means that which belongs to fire. Like your arm, your head, your house, your balloon, your cloud... The source of why this perspective makes more sense is "Turkish". In Turkish, the suffix "-un", that is, the suffixes that indicate to whom an object or entity belongs or has a relationship with it, are called complement suffixes. These suffixes, also known as genitive suffixes, are used only at the end of noun words.
20:30 - 21:00 Depending on the vowels in the word, one of the suffixes "-ın", "-in", "-un" and "-ün" is added to the end of the word. The complement suffix is used only in definite noun phrases. Phrases that do not include this suffix are considered indefinite noun phrases. The fire here may be called wood, meaning 'wood'. It is about belonging to the light and fire of God. Because this person is an object of fire that will spread and ignite the fire of God wherever he goes. So it is wood.
21:00 - 21:30 In this context, this belief will also appear in some Turkish burial procedures. Turks identified fire with the hearth. Fire is what the stove is. For Turks, Ocak means family, unity and solidarity. Turks light up the night by lighting a fire after the burial or at the beginning of their graves to drive away the evil spirits and demons that will come that night.
21:30 - 22:00 The tradition of lighting fires and lamps after the burial and during every visit to a grave or tomb still continues in most places. Jumping from the Nevruz fire destroys diseases, spells and evil spirits. Those who jump through the Newroz fever are free from diseases and do not get sick throughout the year. In Turkish culture, there is definitely a fire cult among the elements of lineage, family, birth, children, henna, death and funeral.
22:00 - 22:30 Turks celebrated the arrival of spring, when the air, water, soil and vitality in nature began to warm up and was reborn, with the Nevruz holiday. For this reason, the awakening of nature is celebrated on earth with fire, the representative of the sun. In this context, the meaning of the word Odin is a word formed by identifying it with God. Let's take a look at Turgay Kürüm's findings about the word As:
22:30 - 23:00 We have just mentioned that Odin is the king of the society called As, living in today's Ukraine. Asgrad means the walled city of the Aces, like Belgrade. "Grad" here may also mean guard and protection. So what is this Ace society? And do the societies that used this identity in the past and today continue to exist in the mentioned region, that is, around Don-İdil? Some words in which the concept of As is used and emphasized are as follows:
23:00 - 23:30 As: One of the tribes that formed the Sarmatians (Alans) in history. As: The name of the tribe with which the Karachay Turks and Ossetians living in the Caucasus today define themselves. Asset: Osset - Ossetian people Askit: Scythians-Sakas As(ş)kuzai: The name given to the Scythians in Assyrian documents (We can also describe them as the people of Northern As). Assyria: The state founded in Anatolia (Considering that the suffix Ur is used to mean city, it may also mean the City of As).
23:30 - 24:00 Azer: The name of the Azerbaijani people (Means soldier-man). Astrakhan: Historical trade city in the north of the Caspian Sea (As tarkan-tarhan as commander) Hakas: Turks living in the Altai, who also call themselves Saka (Scythian). (Hak may be a suffix taken later, meaning true-reliable-real.) Ok (Q): Considering that it was also used in the sense of tribe in the ancient Turks (ten arrows-three arrows etc.)... Kaf_q_as: Caucasian (kaf-ok-as) Kaf people of the mountain. (Kaf is used here to mean the sacred mountain in Turkish mythology.)
24:00 - 24:30 Q_as_er: Khazar - means Karaim Turks. (Ok- as- er ) Q_as_aq: Kazakhs (ok- as- ak – Noble as tribe. Ak budun - as in kara budun, Ak noble means noble.) Ab_as: People of Abaza (sacred As's. Ab ulu- Sacred meaning ) Asena: Means female wolf in Turkish mythology. Hakan lineage in Turkish state tradition. Asana = God in Altai mythology. Another name for "Umay" (Khakas also call Umaya As girl)
24:30 - 25:00 Askil: An important tribe in the Western Göktürk empire and the name of its king As_paruh: Founder of the Volga Bulgarian state, Turkish prince Asya: Country of As. I believe that "As", as a common belief identity (Shaman-pagan), has been a super-identity (Faith identity) used by the people living in the region for a long time, regardless of race.
25:00 - 25:30 Venerable Turgay Kürüm explains Odin's possible journey to the Scandinavian geography as follows:
25:30 - 26:00 “The homeland of the Gods, the ancestors of all Scandinavian peoples, is the south of today's Sweden. The center of Gotland is the modern-day city of Gothenburg. There is also an island called Gotland in the Baltic Sea. In the first century AD, some of the Goth people crossed the Baltic Sea and reached Ukraine, the ancient Scythian and Sarmatian country, by crossing the Baltic Sea due to the increasing population and climatic conditions. They defeated the Alans there and dominated the Baltic Sea in the north to the Sea of Azov in the south, from the Danube in the west to the Don River in the east. They controlled the maritime trade in the Don, Dnieper and Dniester Rivers in the Black Sea. They established the Kingdom of God in Crimea in the 300s AD.
26:00 - 26:30 They became stronger with the taxes they received from the distribution of goods coming from the Northern Silk Road, which passed through the north of the Caspian Sea and was under the control of the Huns. At that time, they were neighbors with the Hun Turks and lived in peace. The runic alphabet came exactly in this period. Because Goths and Huns belonged to similar religions," he says.
26:30 - 27:00 Turgay Kürüm also says: "In 376 AD, Hermanarik, the king of the Goths, became a Christian and forced the non-Christian Goths to convert to Christianity. But the Goths rebel and raise an uprising. Civil unrest occurs in the kingdom. At that time, the non-Christian Goths were in the east on the Hun border, and the Christian ones were in the west. Non-Christian Goths will be called "Ostrogoths" after this date. The Gods on the eastern border joined the Hun rule after a while.
27:00 - 27:30 He states that at that time, Odin took some Gods with him and returned to his homeland, Sweden. According to Turgay Kürüm, when Odin returns, he unites with the other Gods and teaches the new writing to the people there. The 12-animal calendar belonging to the Turks also affects the Viking calendar. And Odin changed the year that God's people used to have 10 months to 12 months," he says.
27:30 - 28:00 After the Asian Hun State was divided and dispersed, some of the Turkish tribes moved westwards, crossing the Volga River and heading towards the north of the Black Sea. These regions in the north of the Black Sea extend up to the Danube River . It was not a coincidence that the Hun Turks migrated here... It is known to everyone that the European Huns dominated the Scandinavian geography for several hundred years. There are states founded by Hun commanders in Scandinavia.
28:00 - 28:30 In the article he wrote in 2013, professor Tor Georg Akobsen says the following; “Swedes are generally kind, nice and tolerant. Even so, there's a good reason to never marry a Swede. Of course, if you do not want your children to have blonde hair and the character of Atilla the Hun...”
28:30 - 29:00 The most important source we will cover in Viking mythology is the stories called “saga” in the “Prose Edda”, which we mentioned in the previous video. The word saga is actually very similar to 'sagu', a type of poetry in our pre-Islamic Turkish literature, both in terms of words and meaning. FREKE AND GREKE As it is known, Odin has two wolves, Freke and Greke. Odin gives all the meat offered to him to his wolves.
29:00 - 29:30 The wolf is an important symbol. The wolf is considered important in many nations. In Turks, "Wolf constitutes a central point in their epics and legends. Since it is an agile, active and strong animal, it has been stated as a symbol of the life and war power of the Turks in various periods. The wolf motif was carefully processed in the Göktürk epics, and the reproduction of the Turks was attributed to this motif.
29:30 - 30:00 The oldest written document in which the name Turk is mentioned. Bugut Inscription Some researchers claimed that the broken part above shows a child sucking milk from a wolf. The ancestor of the "Aşına" family, the Göktürk Khagan dynasty, was a she-wolf. In the Oghuz Khagan Epic, the wolf that came out of a light and spoke guided the Oghuz army in three places. Eleventh century Seljuk period Winged Wolf Motif (Sky Wolf) Gokturk kagans used to erect a golden wolf-headed tug in front of their tents as a tribute to the memory of their ancestors. Thus, the wolf-headed banner became the symbol of the khanate among the Turks. Motifs called wolf print and wolf mouth in Turkish carpet rugs.
30:00 - 30:30 However, this tradition is not specific only to the Gokturks, its origins go back to the Asian Hun Turks and the ancient ancestors of the Turks. (Preface to the Article)” Paper five Turkish Lira note with Gray Wolf figure, released in 1927. I am for you, Kagan. Let's take the shield with the bow. Let it be engagement for us. Let the gray wolf be "uran" for us. (Oghuz Epic) From the Oghuz Epic: A wolf, a male wolf! / Sky-feathered, Sky-maned! / This wolf turned towards Oğuz, without looking left or right. He said: “O son, now take your army out! / “Get your people and your lords on the road. “Let me lead and show you where the right path is!”/ Oğuz Kağan saw that the male wolf leaders were leaving, the vanguards of the army, the gray wolf eyes were leaving. (Öğel,1998: 122).
30:30 - 31:00 The wolf is a guide in wars and expedition decisions.
31:00 - 31:30 Dr. about the importance of the wolf in Turks. We leave Zafer Altun's article below, anyone who wishes can review it. "We saved the village. A wolf passed in front of us 1 kilometer away. A wolf passed from our right to our left. It passed 20 meters ahead of our flag. We said, "I hope victory is ours." As soldiers, we shouted like this. We moved."
31:30 - 32:00 YGGDRASİL is the tree in Scandinavian mythology whose roots extend to the core. It is the huge tree that connects and protects all the lands. It is famous that Odin learned the secrets of the spirits by hanging and swinging from the branches of this tree for 9 days and 9 nights.
32:00 - 32:30 It is very significant that Yggdrasil, the Vikings' tree of life, has nine branches and the world containing living things is under these branches. Because this clearly resembles the nine-branched tree in the Turks' Epic of Creation and the motif of human races descending from under these branches. This similarity in the tree motif is not limited to these only. In the middle of Yggdrasil is Midgard (Middle Earth), where people live.
32:30 - 33:00 Likewise, a world in which people live is mentioned in the middle of the Turks' tree of life: According to mythology, the tree separates the earth and the sky. It represents the world above ground, abundance and life. In the skies, there are dragons, snakes and evil spirits that represent evil. In the Turks, this feature is attributed to various pine trees such as the Beech Tree and White Pine, the tree of life.
33:00 - 33:30 Although the tree of life is common to these two cultures, it dates back much further. It is not a national element of the Turkish peoples or the Scandinavian peoples. There is a belief, and according to this belief, every culture has given it a meaning and developed it according to its own perspective. Because the first traces of the tree of life, which is understood to be one of the oldest beliefs, are found in Lower Mesopotamia in the three thousandth year before Christ and later.
33:30 - 34:00 Tree of life motif in Turkish rugs The tree of life motif exists in many cultures such as Sumerian, Babylonian, Hurrian, Hittite, Late Hittite, Assyrian, Phrygian, Mitanni, Urartu. And in some places it appears as a decorative element or the main element in the worship scene. URARTU PERIOD
34:00 - 34:30 ASSYRIAN PERIOD For such a broad subject, "It belongs only to the Turks." It would be wrong to say that. According to the information we have obtained, nothing can explain this situation other than common belief. Moreover, the existence of the Tuba Tree in the Islamic religion is very similar to the Tree of Life motif. We will examine the Tree of Life motif in more detail with you in another video. I also leave an article below for detailed information on this subject. Anyone who wishes can read it.
34:30 - 35:00 OR STONE Odin is a wise person by nature. They have abilities such as magic and magic. Odin creates storms. It makes it rain. He even used these powers in wars.
35:00 - 35:30 In some sources, it is also said that Odin did all this with the help of a stone he placed on the tip of his staff. Turks have a stone called Yada. Regarding the Yada Stone, Mahmut of Kashgar says the following in Divan-ı Lügat'it Türk: “It is a kind of Kamness. Rain, snow, and wind are made with certain stones. This is a well-known thing among Turks. I saw this with my own eyes in the Land of Plunder. There was a fire there. It was summer. Snow was made to fall in the form of this stone. And by the grace of God, the fire was extinguished.
35:30 - 36:00 Again, the great sage Ayaz Ata, who is known to all Turkish people and makes it snow in the winter months, has a staff or a stone in his hand. It brings snow during the winter months thanks to Ayaz Ata or his stone. In the coming days, we will do a more comprehensive and detailed study about Ayaz Ata and present it to you.
36:00 - 36:30 French archaeologist Joseb de Guines; It is reported that the Avars, who became stronger in the 5th century, fought against an invasion or prevented the invasion with the power of their stones. Cüveyni says that he used the Buyruk Khan Yada Stone against Genghis Khan in his historical work "Cihangüşa". According to Chinese sources, it is reported that the Huns used the Yada Stone.
36:30 - 37:00 In Altai Turkish tales, the Karaatlı Tale also includes the Yada Stone. Alp Almanbet was a very master Yadaci in the Manas Epic. In the Bozkurt epic, Yadaism is very common. It is mentioned in the Ergökçe Epic of the Kyrgyz Kazakh Turks. Evliya Çelebi mentions that in 1641, a shaman in the Caucasus gathered clouds with a stone and made it rain.
37:00 - 37:30 It is written that in the Ottoman-Russian War between 1768 and 1774, the Kalmyks, who were Turkish shamans, used the Yada Stone and defeated the Ottomans. The name given to the action of making it rain in the garden of Kazakhstan is today said as "taş attik" (tasırtıg). Bögü Tegin, also one of the rulers of the Uyghur Turks, was not a warrior but a wise ruler. The "Bögü" in the name Bögü Tegin is the same as the meaning of 'magic' (magic) in today's Turkish.
37:30 - 38:00 Of course, it is not the case that Odin will necessarily be associated with these stories. However, it should be known that witchcraft and sorcery were as common among the Turks as they were in Odin. This witchcraft was not like in Mesopotamia or Europe. We will examine this issue in a special title.
38:00 - 38:30 JORMUNGDR is Jormungundr, one of Loki's children. Jormungundr is a gigantic serpent that encircles the earth and was imprisoned underground by Odin until Ragnarok (Apocalypse). When we examine the underground motifs, we see that these and similar monsters were widely used among the Altai Turks.
38:30 - 39:00 Jormungundr appears in Altai legends as the underground ruler "Çulan-Mongus", who lives seven floors underground. Grave (Kurgan) The graves found during the excavations in the ancient city of Birka near Stockholm are similar to Turkish kurgan type graves. 'In an opened grave, the deceased was found with his clothes, weapons, food and drink containers, probably in a sitting position, and two sacrificed horses and cart wheels. There are many other similar graves in the surrounding area that are preserved without being opened.''
39:00 - 39:30 Crow In the times before Islam, some Turkish communities considered birds sacred. It is understood from the expressions about death in the Orkhon inscriptions that the bird is the symbol of the soul.
39:30 - 40:00 During the Göktürk period, the Crow became a sacred bird. In Turkish, the word 'flying' was also used to describe the soul of the deceased rising to the sky. It is understood that birds, which are also the expression of heaven, are among the animals taken by shamans to get help or as guardian spirits. The crow has become not a sign of beauty but a symbol of eternity, satiety and deep thoughtfulness.
40:00 - 40:30 The crow is also likened to concepts such as death and death, in a couplet of "Ali of Gelibolulu": "I wish the crow of death to come to your life." By saying this, he expressed the characteristic of the crow by cursing it. (Gelibolulu Ali, G.1l3112 (Aksoyak, II, p. 228) Again, in the old Turkish customs, there was hanging a crow's wing or carcass on the lover's cheek to prevent other birds from entering places where fruit and vegetables were grown, such as vineyards, orchards, and fields.
40:30 - 41:00 This custom was mostly used in poems on the lover's cheek. It is used when describing the correct hanging hair. The lover's cheek is described as a rose garden, the hanging hair is described as a crow, and the crow is described as an evil eye. , I, p.303) He also mentions the existence of the belief that the crow brings news from the unknown and the future for the Turks. This belief has also found its place in Divan poems. In one of his couplets, the news that the crow brings news from the unknown is mentioned: "It is a Crow. "
41:00 - 41:30 Examples can be multiplied. We will examine this issue under a separate heading. SLEIPNIR is a very fast gray 8-legged horse that Loki gifted to Odin. Thanks to this horse, Odin goes to Hel to meet with the spirits in the afterlife.
41:30 - 42:00 In Saxo Grammaticus's book "Gesta Donarum", some modern Scandinavian historians stated that the 8-legged horse is a remnant of Shamanism. Odin's horse has the title of the fastest horse in the universe and can travel to underground and aboveground lands. These underground and aboveground transitions (although their accuracy is not certain) bring to our minds the journeys of Altai Shamans to the underground by changing their forms.
42:00 - 42:30 In addition, researchers who claim that Odin was Turkish state that they came across traces of the eight-legged horse in a Buryat legend, which for us is based on sources too weak to be included here. The people who make this claim seem to be speaking from the same voice and copy-pasting from a single place. Who are these Buryats? Where do they live, what is their history, which Turkish tribe do they belong to, where did they come from, where do they go? Talking about these without looking at them, asking them, or researching them will harm our history.
42:30 - 43:00 The first colonies in the Buryat Autonomous Republic began to be established in the 1600s. In 1923, the Buryat-Mongolian Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic was established. It is currently one of the republics that make up the Russian Federation. Shamanism and Buddhism are common religions in the Buryat Republic.
43:00 - 43:30 Local people believe in Shamanism and Buddhism. Russian immigrants are from the Orthodox sect of Christianity. Administrative Structure of the Buryat Republic We will later explain how the Buryat legend about the 8-legged horse issue is related. The 8-legged horse issue is actually an element of Shamanism. Because how can one interpret such a strange expression as "eight-legged horse"? It is generally accepted that the ancient Turks believed in Shamanism.
43:30 - 44:00 R. Dankoff claimed that the belief of the Ancient Turks was not Shamanism. Regarding the role of the horse as a funeral animal and guide of the soul in the rite of Shamanism, M. Eliade says, "In the Muria tribe (which is a tribe living in the mountains in India), during the funeral ceremony, there is a ceremonial ritual that indicates that the dead arrives in the other world on horseback." Songs are sung. These songs talk about a palace with a golden swing and a diamond throne. If the dead is taken there on an eight-legged horse,
44:00 - 44:30 what did we say about Odin in the first place? If he came from Turkland, if he migrated from a place where Turks lived, which we have already seen in Scandinavian legends and mythologies, Odin went to that geography by the Turan (Turkish) Khagan of the period and obtained soldiers, agriculture, animals and mineral income from the people in that geography.
44:30 - 45:00 But this system should not be compared to the one applied by the Europeans to Africa. The situation is a little different in our country. That is, the Turks enter a region, determine the need (if there is a potential) and help the people there to meet this need (plunder, detention, harassment). etc.) as his own people and governed accordingly.
45:00 - 45:30 If it was an undeveloped people, if there was no literacy, no alphabet, no calendar, or rather what the Turks had, if the people did not have this new, it would be taught through the person appointed to the head of that people. Let's get to the real issue. 8-legged horse... Odin migrated from Turkland, but with how many people and with what? How did the migration happen? How did the Turks migrate? Pack up the tent, tent, load the cars, camels and horses. Throw it and read it. Where did it fall? Heh, come on, walk to our new homeland. We're going that way! This migration lasts for days. Where do they sleep and rest at night, where is the food cooked, it is night. Come on, set up the tents, it's daylight and pack them up. Not so. So how?
45:30 - 46:00 It's like this: Some of the tents never break down. The huge tent is on a horse-drawn carriage, or rather it is a car, but it is in the shape of a house, with camels, horses and oxen pulling it... Life continues in the tents on those carts during the migration.
46:00 - 46:30 Turks did not call these houses houses. "Bar" he said. Sometimes these houses were taken by an animal. These animals are usually camels, horses, oxen, etc. Sometimes he pulled more than one animal. Of course, the size of the tent and car changed depending on the animal pulling it. Turks even called this system "the bar with eight islands". This form of pronunciation appears in the Yenisei Inscriptions and Begre Inscriptions.
46:30 - 47:00 Conclusion It is not known whether all these explanations make Odin a Turk or not. Odin is one of the characters who created Scandinavian mythology for today. So let's leave it that way... Let's take care of the things that are known to be ours. Let's not covet what others own.
47:00 - 47:30 If our researchers, illustrators, writers and archaeologists could write and produce without being under pressure or influence, we would already have many characters like Odin today. Let's say Odin is Turkish. However, we should not exaggerate it too much. Because there were such people in Turkish culture. When a region was captured by the Turks, a wise governor was appointed to the people living there, and if that person was not at the level of civilization, he would raise that people to the level of civilization.
47:30 - 48:00 Reading and writing, calendar, production, military... We would benefit as much as we could. But we would do this in a way that would benefit them, too. Greece and the Balkans during the Ottoman period are the biggest examples of this. As the "Making Turks Turks" family, this is our opinion. This was the first wise governor that the Turks sent to the Scandinavian geography. Perhaps the people who took on this task were "wood" that spread the light and fire of God...
48:00 - 48:30 Odin is already given the necessary value by the people to whom he belongs. We should not suddenly adopt an issue or a character that we have not even noticed for years, and that we would never have noticed if they had not mentioned it themselves. Let's just know what happened and how it happened. Let's think in Turkish, without taking credit for being a correct historian or trying to please anyone. Turkish culture and language are not associated with Odin; Let's focus on the real elements that make Odin Odin. History cannot be done without knowing our language and culture.
48:30 - 49:00 In summary, Odin was a normal person for the Turkish people of the time. Today, he should remain a normal person for the Turkish people. Mythologically, it is not ours, but the national culture and history of the entire Scandinavian world. Let's let whoever gave importance to Odin and kept him alive during his lifetime, let them give importance to him and keep him alive today.
49:00 - 49:30 There is no shortage of 'Odins' among the Turks. We have many "woods" that we don't know about. We will soon introduce you to what we have been able to detect. Stay tuned. Stay safe. SOURCE
