According to the compilation made from various sources, the similarities between the legends between the Turks and the Indians, as well as the similarities between handicraft motifs and words, the use of the 12 animal calendar in ancient times attract the attention of researchers as to whether the two communities are related.

In the panel titled "Common Ties Between Turks and Indians" held in New York City, USA last month, interesting similarities between the two nations were revealed once again, and the books and scientific studies on this subject also reveal common points.

-Similarities in Legends-

In the master's thesis titled 'Human Nature Relationship in Turkish and Indian Mythologies' by Arzu Yetim at Eskişehir Osmangazi University Social Sciences Institute, similarities in the legends of both communities are included.

In the thesis, which states that the concept of 'respect for nature' among the Indians is also seen in the ancient Turkish belief, it is pointed out that the communities that migrated from Central Asia and Siberia to the American continent through the Bering Strait brought shamanism to this region through various scientific researches. It is stated that Shamans, who undertake the task of performing various religious ceremonies such as finding a cure for the disease, restoring the protective spirit that left during the disease, and delivering the victims to the gods, have a very privileged place in both societies.

It is noted that the sanctification of nature on the basis of shamanist belief constitutes the general framework of Turkish and Indian mythologies, and the similarities are listed as follows:

In the mythologies of both societies, it is believed that everything that exists in nature, animate or inanimate, has a spirit. The sky was considered as the creator, the supreme god in both societies. While the sky god is high and inaccessible, the earth goddess embraces people and all other beings. Therefore, the goddess is called mother earth.

In Turkish and Indian mythologies, where every element in nature is considered sacred, some places and regions are considered more privileged and sacred for various reasons.'

It is stated that the mountains, which are sacred in the Turkish and Indian communities, are believed to be located in the center of the earth and form the axis of the world.

It is stated that Turkish communities create artificial hills called oba where there are no mountains and hills, and they perform their prayers here, and it is stated that artificial hillocks made by piling up stones are also encountered among Native American tribes.

-LIFE-GIVING POWER OF WATER-

While the belief in the life-giving power and purification of water is present in both Turkish and Indian mythologies, it is stated that people can regain their youth by swimming in the 'water of life' at a time when death does not exist in the mythology of the California Maidus and Winton Indians. In Turkish mythology, it is recorded that the 'water of life' sometimes resurrects the dead, heals the sick, and sometimes gives youth to the elderly.

It is stated that the perception of water as the source of life is clearly seen in the creation myths of Turkish and Indian mythologies, and in the Altai creation myth, 'The world was a sea, there was no sky, no place! It is pointed out that it started with the words "everywhere was covered in vast waters". In a similar way, it is pointed out that in the creation myth of the Crow Indians, there is water everywhere and the creator Old Man Coyote, and that the Yakime creation myth has the expression 'Everywhere was covered with water at the beginning of the world'.

It is noted that polluting water is prohibited in many Turkish communities, and it is stated that it is a religious duty to protect the purity of water resources in the Sokaogon tribe living in the Great Lakes region of America.

-IMPORTANCE OF STONES-

It is noted that stones are among the items considered sacred in both Turkish and Native American mythology.

It is stated that the Dakota Indians use stones, which they believe to be the oldest of all sacred beings, for healing purposes in steam baths, and it is stated that they are examples of the use of stones for healing purposes in Turkish mythology.

It was also noted that in Ahmet Ali Arslan's work 'With the Trace of Ancestors', attention was drawn to the similarity of the poles called 'serge', which were known as sacred and respected in Saha Sire (Yakutia), with the totems of the North American Indians. It is stated that animals have an extremely important and privileged place in it.

It was explained that animals, which Turkish and Indian communities approach with admiration and respect, also have a privileged place in creation myths.
