УДК 39(575.1) ББК 63.521(=633)
Abstract
The horse cult is considered to be one of the most ancient cults, so the horse became one of the first symbols in the history of mankind. The article highlights the views related to the cult of the horse in the daily and ritual life of Uzbeks. On the basis of archaeological and written sources, the views and various symbols associated with the horse contained in the "Avesta", the sacred book of Zoroastrians are analyzed. Ancient Turks endowed the horse with divine power, considering it the smartest creature that was able to speak and fly. That is why the horse, which occupies an important place in the daily and economic life of the Turks, was elevated to the level of cult through sacralization.
At all times, the Turkic peoples revered the horse as a sacred creature, recognizing its important role in everyday and ritual life. Thanks to their natural qualities, especially their loyalty to man, horses continue to occupy a special place in the traditional culture of the Uzbek people. Turning to oral folk art, the author has scientifically studied mythological beliefs and toponyms that emerged as a result of the sacralization of the horse. At the same time, relying on ethnographic material, it is confirmed that the funeral rite “davra solish” (literally “dump in a circle”) is an ethnolocal tradition associated with the cult of the horse.
