Cultural development isn’t easy. Let’s turn to something else: abstraction. Lightning had struck. A tree had burned. So, something burned, and ash remained. Where did this wood or tree go? What happened? What emerged? Humankind tried to abstract this in its mind as well. Therefore, this was alive. Five minutes ago, it was alive. Now it’s inanimate. Look, life is inanimate. He thought. He decided that what he drew as “life” and “es” was that, he created that abstraction as a line, and from there, he tried to derive words for himself. He added suffixes, roots, and brought things to the front and back. For example, like “beyond life.” That “beyond life” will also be the source of Zeus’s life. Write that down.

Now let’s look at the word es. The word es, with its slash-like marking, means alive and still lives. We still use it. I’ve included examples. What do we say today? Esen, esenlik, esrik, or drunkenness, work, noun, look, these all have the same root. If you look at the Latin es, would you guess that it might have come from the Turkish used in English? Es and is have many meanings, such as life, soul, reminder, thought, possession, and so on, and have spread over time. Today, it’s a living root, unchanged.
OZ. OZAN
When we were relating this grammatically, we mentioned the word “oz” here. Westerners actually used the word “oz” very late. We used it very early. But the exact equivalent of the word “oz” is “esse” or “sense.” Look, it’s related to life and soul. Therefore, our linguists can’t analyze these words today.
Oz, as being Ozmaz, is, in a sense, the transition of one’s soul from this world to the next. Now, let’s put it this way, this abode that comes to the exact place. The word “ozan” is still alive in our language, isn’t it? What does “ozan” mean? Does it mean “the person who writes poetry”? No. To write poetry, you have to be intoxicated, that is, you have to be in another world. That’s what it means. Turkish is such a beautiful language. There’s neither a suffix at the end of the word “ozan” nor a suffix indicating that the person does this within themselves. It indicates that they do it for themselves. In other words, the ozan is both an intoxicated person and someone whose thoughts interpret life. You mentioned the afterlife of life, or you mentioned “ozmak”. In a sense, the ozan is a person. In other words, they are someone who goes to and from the afterlife. In other words, they are also someone who can hear, in part, again.
We called it Ozmak, we called it Zeus. Now, these have a commonality in this world. You’re talking about life’s afterlife, you said Ozmak; in a sense, it’s a poet. In other words, it’s someone who goes to and from the afterlife. In other words, it’s someone who both calls and hears. We called it Ozmak, we called it Zeus. Now, these have a commonality. Although world history doesn’t record it this way, it has a commonality. What we call Ozmak is the stage of transition to the afterlife that we use in Turkish. What does this happen with, what is it related to? With fire. As we Turks initially said in abstraction, fire falls, lightning strikes, destroying life, turning it to ashes. What did it do? It brought it up as smoke. In other words, it extinguished it. By burning its body, it allowed the soul within to reach the beyond. It both burns and ignites, and the living thing within, let’s call it the soul, takes it and carries it up. Kazım Mirşan Bey has extensive studies on Zeus.
He translated many words, including the word “oz” in Turkish inscriptions. We’ve included a few examples here, but all of them clearly express a connection to reaching the afterlife, and you’d understand it if you read them today. Ozu says “içiu” (inner world). Guess what “içiu” means? It’s about your inner world; what is “your inner world”? You came from God. God created you. It’s there for you. Therefore, the relationship between god and humanity, as it exists today in Sufism or Anatolian philosophy, was described with these syllables and words back then. Fire and ozmak are also used together. For example, he says “it dusts” the stones and monuments he erected in Asia. This ozmak, life, God, and the afterlife have been the most important themes from the beginning. At least a third of all the rock inscriptions in Kazakhstan today relate to the sky, ozmak, and fire and burning.

OTOZ
Mr. Erol, let us remind the audience of this here, if you please. Our monument in Yazılıkaya, in the Han district of Eskişehir , is a magnificent 17-meter-high monument that commemorates the ceremony of cremating God’s body with an autoz fire vehicle, ensuring its reunion with God. We have two intact inscriptions on it, one 45 cm high, the other 46 letters. Approximately 500 to 600 meters further on, in the smaller Yazılıkaya , there is the same inscription, this time in six lines. So, if you want, let us remind the audience that our monument in Yazılıkaya , Eskişehir’s Han district , actually commemorates the ceremony of burning his body with an autoz fire vehicle , ensuring it reaches the sky. It is a magnificent 17-meter-high structure. We have two intact inscriptions on it, the letters are 45 cm and 53 cm, and the other consists of 46 letters. Almost 500-600 meters ahead of it, in smaller Yazılıkaya, there is the same inscription, this time in six lines. So, there is a monument in a very easily accessible place in Ankara , Eskişehir , Bursa , Istanbul , and the inscriptions on it were read, explained, and written by Kazım Mirşan. Have you seen any criticism, positive or negative, so far? No, as you said, academic life has already turned a blind eye to these. There are so many linguists in Ankara , how many of them have been there? But Ankara is very far, you know. Can we go there by train in time? Can we go there and examine these documents of Turkish history on site? At least Let them criticize and say that, as Kazım Mirşan said, these are not Turkish inscriptions, they are Greek, Phoenician, Hebrew, go ahead and read them. The letters are there, the writing is there. And when we say this, they show unnecessary resentment. So, as Turkish academics, you will turn your back on such valuable works of the Turkish nation. And when we remind you, you will get angry. Will that be so? Well, go ahead, I interrupted you.
The use of the word Otoz in the West in the 1500s The use of the word Zeus in the 1500s If we go to the first article, you go to Mahmud of Kashgar in 1070. He wrote this word in 1070 If that word was written in 1070, who knows how many thousands of years he has been saying it Therefore, we need to protect Turkish history a little bit, Turkish history is everyone’s history as Mustafa Kemal said So it’s meaningless to make a discrimination here But these lexicographers and historians keep doing it What are their aims, unfortunately, we do not understand.
One of the oldest inscriptions, called the man in the golden suit, was found in Almaata and is on a silver plate. This inscription inside a black circle, which we call the silver plate inscription. The expressions in this inscription have been studied by five different academics. One of them is Kazım Mirşan . In his reading, Kazım Mirşan, very different from the others, refers to obos, or Zeus. He says this is Zeus, but he is not the Zeus of the West. He is the creator who struggles with that legendary father of the West, but he is a god. Look, the god leader. You know, sometimes we abstract, we say, a man like a prophet. Now, like him, Kazım Mirşan, while making this translation, says that the person has passed to the level of god and has reached the afterlife and that he is an honorable person who demonstrates the respect, dignity, work, and dedication required to reach there, especially in his translation.
OZMAK
Therefore, for a leader to be an omen in the Turks, one is to do good for the world and its people. Two, to take good care of nature and its resources. Three, to cherish human life. Now, when you do this, you can go to heaven, you can become an omen. Omen is a process of achievement. This is the writing of a person who went through that process, an ancestor of ours. If you read Kazım Mirşan ‘s analysis, let it be remembered. Because, as you said, there have been many readings, and it was also determined from the bone structure of the blood corpse that he was 16 years old. Here I am, 28 years old, and I was killed. No. There are also absurd readings circulating, and all of them never explain how they read each letter. Kazım Mirşan , however, presents these with a purely mathematical program, reading each letter the same way. If you tell our youth to read the inscription on the Yübis Kap, the memory of our youth will be as follows: “He is an arrow warrior whose nobility, that is, his life style, is remembered with praise and who has also passed to the other world.” In other words, the arrow is an arrow nation that is also our nation.
He says, “He is a respected person who has been purified from his sins and taken to the afterlife by passing to the divine realm.” And you mentioned the Turks of Arrows, and it’s clear from their works and inscriptions that in that period, before they even called them Turks, they used arrows and expressed themselves as such. The symbol of the arrows is the cross used by Christians today. That has nothing to do with the cross. It’s four arrows pointing to the middle point, and it means we are sovereign everywhere in the north, south, east, and west. So, Kazım Mirşan ‘s Book of Balbals, which I recommend to everyone and is a very good book. You can see and interpret the use of these words there.
Let me tell you, this is a Turkish version you can understand even today, just like the Ubos or Zeus issue. When we reach our point, according to the rules of our Turkish language institution, we say Deus or Ozmak and then proceed to say Zeus. Zeus, Zeus, these are the same words; god, creator, and so on. We’ve written all those main roots here on the left in almost every language. Now you see here, they all have i, e, a, o, plus we’ve said it, it, at, ed, and so on. This conveys ownership. The power, justice, thing, whatever.
