ZOROASTRIANISM: A SCHISM, TURAN'S SEPARATION FROM TENGRISM

Abstract

The article is devoted to certain issues of the spread of Tengrism in Central Asia, the problem of religious schism, the separation of Zoroastrianism from the depths of Tengrism. The article focuses on the answers of Zarathushtra to the worldview questions of Bairi Akhun, it is shown that Zarathushtra in search of adherents of the new belief acts as the reformer, later this act was characterized by the prophetic co-religionists, his ten-year activity to promote his radically new ideas is perceived as heretical and schismatic. This led to the first religious war in ancient Turan. The composition of the participants in the battle for the belief, which took place on the southern outskirts of the Mary valley, was determined. On the basis of genetic data, the ethnic composition of the combatants was traced. It is concluded on the basis of the latest results of DNA studies of the inhabitants of the region that the Chionites, who, according to the conclusion of a number of leading historians, were Xiongnu, are actually proto-Xiongnu (Q). And this meant that since the Huns were Tengrians, the Chionites were early supporters of this belief. The religious war for belief was between the Tengrians and the Zoroastrians. It is concluded that Zarathushtra, who separated the new knowledge, came out of the depths of Tengrianism, observed some attributes of shamanism, was a Scythian by origin of an Asian branch of the R1a1a2b haplgroup.
