  Orkhon script - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Orkhon Valley inscriptions were discovered by Nikolay Yadrintsev's expedition in 1889, published by Vasily Radlov and deciphered by the Danish philologist Vilhelm Thomsen in 1893.
The inscription corpus consists of two monuments which were erected in the Orkhon Valley between 732 and 735 in honour of the two Kokturk princes Kul Tigin and Bilge Khan, as well as inscriptions on slabs scattered in the wider area.
The Orkhon monuments are the oldest known examples of Turkish writings; they are inscribed on obelisks and have been dated to 720 (for the obelisk relating to Tonyukuk), to 732 (for that relating to Kültigin), and to 735 (for that relating to Bilge Kagan).

 Orhon inscriptions
Orhon (or Orkhon) inscriptions are the oldest known Turkic writings, which were erected near the Orhon River[?] between 732 and 735 in honour of two Kokturk[?] princes named Kul and Bilge.
They have been carved on two monuments by old Turkic runes (see Old Turkic alphabet), which were deciphered by the Danish philologist Vilhelm Thomsen in 1893.
Compared with monuments left by Tu-jue[?] (突厥 pinyin tu2 jue2) in China during Tang Dynasty, the inscription was the fundamental proof of the equivalence of Gokturks and Tu-jue (突厥 pinyin tu2 jue2) as the alphabets are equivalent.

At its zenith, the Uighur khaganate stretched from the Altay Mountains to Lake Baykal, and was governed from the city of karabaghaun in the Orhon Valley.
There are even indications in the Orhon inscriptions that Bilge Khagan's plans for his people included the gradual abandonment of nomadism and construction of a walled city.

To some people, the term "literature" can apply broadly to any symbolic record which can include images and sculptures, as well as letters.
Even more conservative interpreters of the concept would demand that the text have a physical form, usually on paper or some other portable form, to the exclusion of inscriptions or digital media.
Furthermore, people may perceive a difference between "literature" and some popular forms of written work.
