	Orkhon inscriptions - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The "Orhon inscriptions" are the oldest known extant examples of Turkic writings.
		They were written in what is now called Orkhon script, or "Turkic runes", carved on two monuments which were erected in the Orkhon Valley between 732 and 735 in honour of two Kokturk princes named Kul and Bilge.
		The 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 lace-like inscriptions, carved onto stone and marble, are considered to be the beginning of the Turkish family tree.
		According to the inscription Bilge Khagan's reign, from 716 to 734, was beset by economic problems: "I (Bilge) did not reign over a people that was rich, I reigned over a people weak and frightened, a people that had no food in their bellies and no clothes on their backs.
		In another example, in the Orkhon inscriptions Elterish's son speaks glowingly of his father's deeds: "My father the khagan set out with 27 men, and as word got around that he was advancing, those who were in the towns and those who were in the mountains gathered, and there were 77 men.

	Social Structure
		According to the Orhun inscriptions, it is possible to determine the structure of the Turkish steppe community as follows:
		The terms of "evlenme" (marriage)" or "evlendirme" (give in marriage) that are used for wedlock in Turkish language (able: in Gok-Turk inscriptions) indicate that either the boy or the girl got separated from the family home and founded a different and separate house (family).
		The term of "urug" that was used once within Orhun inscriptions has been a term with the meaning of "offspring, relatives, generation" that was mostly used within the Uighur texts, in the works of Kasgarli and in several modern dialects.

	Mystery of the Futhark Alphabet Page 2
		The Orhun (5) monuments were discovered by a Swedish officer named Strahlenberg, and his finding was made known by publications in 1730.
		The oldest runic inscriptions are written with an alphabet of 24 characters (9).The chapter, from pages 9 to 24, in Prof.Jansson's book of 185 pages is devoted to this particular period.
		Only when in 1893, it was understood that these inscriptions were not written in any other tongue but pure Turkish, then those fanciful theories were discarded, and the proposed pre-historic datings were revised to be not earlier than AD 700.

		The inscriptions on these monuments are the earliest documents in the Turkish language, and throw light on both the history and culture of their time.
		The two former are the oldest of all, and are generally referred to as the Orhun Inscriptions, since they are situated close to the former bed of the River Orhun in Mongolia.
		The script used on the Orhun Inscriptions is the oldest alphabet used to write any Turkic language, and is generally described by turcologists as ancient Turkish runic script.

		The symbol in the Issik Kurgan inscription is also a vertical arrow but with a right-slanting tail at the bottom as it is in the Lemnos island inscription.
		The inscription from Lemnos island being an inscription on a tomb stone, it is quite likely that this word may be referring to the age at which the man died.
		The inscription on the stele from Lemnos seems to have been written by someone very close to the deceased man. The scriber sounds to be a grand child of the deceased person.

	Religion of Gök-Tanrı (Sky-God)
		It is of great importance that the thought of God among the Turks had shown a development towards the sky in the material aspect and towards the Supreme Being in the abstract aspect.
		There is a statement that expressed the Turkish cosmogony with a single sentence within the Orhun inscriptions as follows: "Üze kök Tangrı asra yagız yir kılındıkta ikin ara kişi oğlu kılınmış..." (Pursuant to the creature of the blue sky above and the earth below, the human being was created between these two layers).
		This characteristic that distinguished the Sky religion from all the other religions turned this religious system into the "national" religion of the Turks as it was stated within the Orhun inscriptions.

	Turkish Literature - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The first known written examples of Turkish literature are the Orhun Inscriptions, which were written in the Gokturk alphabet in the sixth and seventh centuries.
		These inscriptions which describe the events of that age, along with wars and victories are important, because they prove that the Turks had a rich written language at that time and because these inscriptions provide some clues regarding the lifestyle of the ancient Turks and their notable spirit for freedom.
		When the Turks started to convert to Islam, beginning in the first half of the tenth century, radical changes occurred in the social life, and these changes were reflected in the literature in terms of language, structure and content.
