Abstract

This essay examines the mythology of Arab peoples in global folklore for the first time. It provides explanations for the rise of popular mythological representations by examining the ways in which ancient cultures understood nature via artistic patterns and discloses the basic structure of the story. Based on the work's goal and thematic orientation, the research on myths of the Turkic peoples of Central Asia is separated into different categories. The author views myth as a fundamental component of the shared mythology of the Turks, discussing the story's ancient origins and epic growth in the folklore of the Kyrgyz, Kazakhs, Uzbeks, and Turkmen. Three categories of mythology—Turkic tales that emerged during that time—are examined in the scientific investigation.
