AN EPIGRAPHIC PERSPECTIVE ON THE TAMGAS (EMBLEMS) OF KAZAKH TRIBES
Abstract
The Turkic peoples, who were part of the great steppe nomads, used emblems to define their sovereignty and independence since ancient times. Kazakh tribes also used individual emblems to preserve their independence and property. The history of these emblems, that defines the unity and integrity of tribes, is very deep. Determination of Kazakh tribes emblems, scientifically proof their image-forms still requires scientific research. Therefore, this theme is considered as a new theme that needs to be studied. Scientists studying Kazakh tribes often pay more attention to social and cultural issues of tribes, so their political views, nаtional values, and ideolоgy are oftеn neglected. We can see that this was influenced by various reasons. Аmong these issues, the study of the genealogy, slogans and emblems of Kazakh tribes is considered very important. The aim of the research is detailed study of Kazakhs’ tribe emblems of Ulu Juz (Great Horde), Orta Juz (Middle Horde) and Kishi Juz (Small Horde) based on scientific research, various expertises and historical data, scientific analysis and more. It was determined that most of alphabets used in Orkhon and Yenisei inscriptions are similar to these emblems after studying the shape form of emblems used among Kazakh tribes from an epigraphic point of view in the given article. Scientific examinations were made that the emblems of Kazakh tribes were mainly composed of such signs and emblems. The types of emblems were given according to special tables analyzing the emblems of Kazakh tribes given in the scientific data. In addition, new scientific information related to the common values, interests and cultures of peoples of the same Turkic origin was provided in our article.
