What unites the Turkic world—from the Altai to the Black Sea region? Not only language and nomadic memory, but also a common mythological map, in which Tengri the Sky grants power to the Khagans, Umai protects children at home, Earth-Water (Yer-Su) guards the fate of the family, and the formidable Erlik rules the Underworld with his "black" retinue.

The authors explain how the three levels of the universe are structured, why the world needs an axis—the Baiterek world tree, why mountains, taiga, and rivers were perceived as living sacred forces, and how demonology, shamanic practices, and end-of-the-world stories reflected the fears and hopes of the steppe civilization.
