Tamgalı Bengütaş, who is thought to be at the entrance of İlteriş Kagan Tomb. Stamps of various Turkish tribes were struck on this stone, which almost expresses Turkish unity. Presumably, the Khagans themselves signed the Treaty by “Taming” this stone.

The “Wolf Dragon Iconography” on Bitigli Bengütaş, erected in memory of the cult, is known as the Wolf-Ejder, “Time Tengri” among Huns and Göktürks, and is thought to have created time by turning the Universe. In this inscription, the following sentences coincide with this idea.

BENGÜTAŞ. The Obelisk is also known as the Eternal Stone or the Infinity Stone. Wolf, Hand, Belt, Sword and Cosmic Symbols were engraved on this stone, which was erected during the Gokturk period. It was probably erected for a Kagan or Alpine.

A Bengütaş in Denizli. Salur Boy Tamga. Tamgas are the “Identity Document” of the Turks. They mark their own identity information on the places where they migrate. Turkish Oghuz Tribe Stamps are these Encrypted signs. Each Boy has a unique “Abstract” shape.

HUN EMPIRE. Buryat Ulan Ude city was one of the important centers of the Hun-Xiongnu Empire. B.C. 1st century Excavations for the city on the banks of Lake Baikal and the Selenge river continue. A “Monument Bengütaş” was built to keep the memory of the Huns alive. A metal plate representing the belt buckle used by the Hun Khan and his Alps was placed on the stone. The opening is magnificent. Actors disguised as Wolf and Deer, playing an important role in Hun and Turkish myths, took part in the opening. In Hun and Turkish myths, Wolf and Deer are the “Avatar” animal of God and Goddess, symbolizing the masculine and feminine element. In the Turkish logic and thought system, “Duality” is symbolized by these two sacred animals.

“Planting Stones” is one of the most important rituals for Turks. It means “Cosmicizing” the lands they live in. Cities that are cosmicized and built around a center become sacred. Bengütaş, sacred trees, sky pillars and of course temples are sacred centers that connect three cosmic regions and provide communication with God. #nuraybilgili

BENGÜTAŞ. Dikili Taş, Ebedi Taş ya da Sonsuzluk Taşı olarak da bilinir. Göktürk döneminde dikilmiş bu taş üzerine, Kurt, El, Kemer, Kılıç ve Kozmik Semboller kazınmıştır. Muhtemelen bir Kağan ya da Alp için dikilmiş.

Hunlar’ın anısını yaşatmak için bir “Anıt Bengütaş” yapılmış. Taşın üzerine Hun Kağan ve Alp’larının kullandığı kemer tokasını ifade eden metal bir plaka yerleştirilmiş. Açılış muhteşem. Hun ve Türk mitlerinde önemli rol oynayan, Kurt ve Geyik kılığına giren oyuncular açılışta rol almış. Hun ve Türk mitlerinde, Kurt ve Geyik eril ve dişil öğeyi simgeleyen, Tanrı ve Tanrıçanın “Avatar” hayvanıdır. Türk mantık ve düşünce sisteminde “Düalite” bu iki kutsal hayvan İle sembolize edilir.

“Taş Dikmek” Türkler için en önemli ritüellerdendir. Yaşadıkları toprakları “Kozmikleştirme” anlamına gelir. Kozmikleştirilen ve bir merkez etrafında kurulan şehirler kutsallaşır. Bengütaşlar, kutsal ağaçlar, gök direkleri ve tabiki tapınaklar, üç kozmik bölgeyi birbirine bağlayan ve Tanrı ile iletişimi sağlayan kutsal merkezlerdir. #nuraybilgili

Turks Across Empires: Marketing Muslim Identity in the Russian-Ottoman Borderlands, 1856-1914 (Oxford Studies in Modern European History)
Part of: Oxford Studies in Modern European History (18 Books) | by James H. Meyer | Jul 22, 2019

Turks Across Empires tells the story of the pan-Turkists, Muslim activists from Russia who gained international notoriety during the Young Turk era of Ottoman history. Yusuf Akcura, Ismail Gasprinskii and Ahmet Agaoglu are today remembered as the forefathers of Turkish nationalism, but in the decade preceding the First World War they were known among bureaucrats, journalists and government officials in Russia and Europe as dangerous Muslim radicals. This volume traces the lives and undertakings of the pan-Turkists in the Russian and Ottoman empires, examining the ways in which these
individuals formed a part of some of the most important developments to take place in the late imperial era.

James H. Meyer draws upon a vast array of sources, including personal letters, Russian and Ottoman state archival documents, and published materials to recapture the trans-imperial worlds of the pan-Turkists. Through his exploration of the lives of Akcura, Gasprinskii and Agaoglu, Meyer analyzes the bigger changes taking place in the imperial capitals of Istanbul and St. Petersburg, as well as on the ground in central Russia, Crimea and the Caucasus.

Turks Across Empires focuses especially upon three developments occurring in the final decades of empire: an explosion in human mobility across borders, the outbreak of a wave of revolutions in Russia and the Middle East, and the emergence of deeply politicized forms of religious and national identity. As these are also important characteristics of the post-Cold War era, argues Meyer, the events surrounding the pan-Turkists provide valuable lessons regarding the nature of present-day international and cross-cultural geopolitics.
