In this article (“Okuzbeks, their language, place in society and culture”), it is stated that the great creator is called “Kuk ulu” (Blue Great), the Turks “Tangri”, the Arabs “Allah”, the Persians “God” and all together four Biti (divine) books were revealed. The article also points out that the descendants of some of Noah’s nine sons are now known. It is also explained that the second name of Yofas ibn Nuh was Tur, that the ancestors of Tur were the creators of civilization of two (Mayan and Sumerian) generations of Uzbeks. The fact that the Romans called the Beksak (Geksak) from the Uzbeks the Hexos, that the descendants of Uzbeks (Kutji, Qiyat, Kongrat and Nayman) lived in Okuzi between the Okuz and Inju Okuz rivers, and that “okuz” (brave) and “bek” mean “leader”. It was noted that the ethnonym “Uzbek” was shortened to “Uzbek”. It is explained that the national dress of the Uzbeks (special “Qalpoq” cap, Bekasam ton, satin and Adras shirts) embodies mystical colors, and that the Uzbeks founded three scientific academies in the world (Baghdad, Khorezm and Samarkand). It is clearly stated that the name of the Caspian Sea was Elkun, and the name of the Aral Sea was Arang. Morover, it is fully explained that the distance between the two rivers, Amudarya and Syrdarya, was called Okuziya, Uzbek (Uspek) from ancient times until 1730, and the name of Uzbekistan has given from 1740. It is noted that the language based on the Uzbek dialect has been preserved since the time of Noah, and the ten-thousand-year-old toponym Elkun (Sunny place) was translated into Persian by the Munsaks three thousand years ago in the form of Khorazm (“Khavari azm” – “Sunny place”). In the 5th century, Qutluq (Eltarish) explained that the ethnonym kutji (“giver of happiness”) associated with the Khagan, acquired a new meaning. It is stated that Kutluq Khagan founded the Great Turkic Empire, Alexander the Great created the Yaban Empire, and Osman ibn Ertuğrul created the Great Ottoman Empire. In linguistics, it is recognized that the paronyms mung+ul (noble), mun+gul (herd) are distinguished, the world leader Temuchin Genghis Khan founded the First Great Mungul Empire, the world leader and master Amir Temur founded the Second Great Mungul Empire, and the famous ruler Zahiriddin Muhammad Babur founded the Third Great Mungul Empire. The Uzbek language terms “qur” (circle) and “qurultoy” (convention), “elnur” (culture), “yarariq” (“value”) are explained. It is reported that the Uzbeks respectfully salute by placing their hands on their chests like nobles. Currently, there is an opinion about the division of Uzbeks into pure Uzbeks (Kutji, Qiyat, Kongrat, Nayman), mixed Uzbeks (Oghuz) and composite Uzbeks (Qarluq and Chigil).I
