Abstract

The article deals with the ancient Eastern ethnocultural components, have left a trace in folklore, language, genomics of Bashkirs. As the historical sources used the epic "Ural Batyr", shezhere of Bashkir tribe Usergan, linguistic material. For comparative analysis involved legends and stories of Karakalpak muytens, Sumerian/Akkadian epic of Gilgamesh. The main methodological concept was the theory of local civilizations. As a research methodology, a typological comparative, integration approach was used. In the work, to prove the ethoenetic connections between the Bashkirs and the Karakalpak muytenans, the results of modern genetic studies are involved. The word Naney /grandmother is analyzed, the etymology of which, in the author's opinion, goes back to the namr of the Sumerian goddess Inana (the Central Asian version is Nanaya) When comparing the Bashkir archaic epic "Ural batyr" and the tales of Gilgamesh, attention is drawn to typological similarities in the plot motifs and images of the characters of these folklore works. The possible ways of penetration of the front Asian tradition into the Southern Urals are considered. As a result was discovered certain elements in the culture of the Bashkirs which date back to the earliest stages of their ethnogeny.
