I love how almost every group of humans celebrate the longest day of the year 😊 Also interesting how you hold hands in a circle and dance which is every similar to what swedes do on their 'Midsommar' to celebrate the longest day of the year!

[@rose-marielundholm3597]

Except we have moved it so it's always on the friday after XD the soltice was 21st june and we celebrated 24th june. So that people like my dad who hasnvt got a break yet can celebrate and get really drunk with out worrying about the job the next day😂

[@alexandrvasilev2865]

@@rose-marielundholm3597 phaha, so did we in Yakutia 😅 Yhyakh of Tuymaada valley (which is Yhyahk of Yakutsk city) was celebrated in june 25-26. With one difference - any alcohol is prohibited. Except fermented milk, if you can call it an alcohol drink at all since it have only 1.5-2% of alcohol in it.

Our religion, culture is very similar to Scandinavian. We also have 3 worlds (upper, middle and lower). On the top live Aiyy (light deities) like Asgard. On the middle - people, on the bottom - monsters. A sacred tree passes through these worlds - Aal-luuk-mas (Yggdrassil). I saw the Scandinavian film "Solstice" and was quite impressed. As if they were celebrating our Ysyakh. All in white clothes like ours. And also in the series "Vikings" in one fragment I saw our native Yakut competition "kulun tardyy" (pulling a stallion). Two participants take a kneeling position with an emphasis on the palms of outstretched arms, opposite each other. A line is drawn between rivals. Putting a belt around the neck, which should be taut in the initial position, at the command of the judge, the participants smoothly, without jerks, begin to pull each other. The winner is the participant who pulls the opponent over his control line, or when the opponent's belt breaks

This video is almost a university course with a definitive quality explanation of every term right in the context! That made me immediately look up the description for a wordlist to practice the vocabulary; maybe this is something for the language channel! Thank you for sharing Yhyakh with us. May the good signs help us all and gift us a summer with your great content!

They are not a big fan but they will have to do something with their products or do they want me to do it on my behalf and then you will need a little more help to make the most sense and to make a plan for you to no longer have to deal without any of your business and your own personal business and not the business of your own

Thank you from Hungary for this video. I am really impressed because in Hungarian(magyar) folk tales, the lower and upper worlds are also appearing connected with the tree of life which we call "életfa". The hero of this tales can travel to different worlds by the tree. I heard that in the ancient faith the connection was granted by the people called "táltos". They served as healers and spiritual guides and were separated from usual people by specific born signs. (Additional fingers, born with theeth etc.) But unfortunately most of the information was lost due to christianity. I would be very happy and thankfull if you could make a more indepth video about the Yakhuth religion, so we could learn more about it, and maybe find out more about ourselves as well. Other interesting thing is, that the belief still living in the remaining magyar people in Hungary, that we were originated from the Scythians, and the Persians called Scythians in hystorical texts as Sakha, or Saka.

[@aresaurelian]

What a beautiful people and such a rich and interesting ancient history. Love this. The food looks good. The dancing girls were so cute and they looked like they had so much fun. The horse racing looks exciting. All the details from history and the songs is interesting. Thank you Maria.

People say the native american tribes in America came there from Siberia over the Bering Straight...the sounds of your songs sound and rituals look very very similar to the way tribes do them here

[@justacentrist4147]

Reminds me of my own native ammerican culture in many ways. Whitch I guess makes sense considering native ammericans came from a single tribe from siberia

I saw the video on Sakha language. But also in this video it seems I found some similar words. In the north scandinavia there is the word algos (means start, begin). Quite similar to algysh. And yaki (meaning year) spells similar to yhakh.

Baharın gelişi bir araya gelerek kutlanıyor, kutlama algış (dua) sunularak başlıyor. Yarlık algışı halka uğur ve sağlık getirmesini iyi bir yıl geçirmelerini dileyerek başlatıyor. Algış herkes tarafından iyi dileklerin ulaşması için eller göğe kaldırarak tekrar ediliyor. Kutlama Toiyuk denilen Sakalar'a özgü deyişler söylenerek devam ediyor. Mal Luuk Mas denilen büyük ağaç ( Hayat Ağacı ) gökyüzü, yeryüzü ve yer altının birlikteliğini simgeliyor. Halk oyunları oynanarak devam ediliyor, halk oyunlarından sonra Ohuokay denilen ele ele tutuşup daire seklinde dönerek ezgiler Yarlık'ı tekrar ederek söyleniyor. Sonra Tuhulge denilen öğle yemeği / piknik ile eş, dost, akraba bir araya geliyor. Yemekten sonra Saka spor oyunlarına geçiliyor, Khapsagay ( güreş / küresh ) oyunları videoda gösterilmiş. Aynı anda Yakut ezgileri profesyonel ve amatör kisiler tarafından seslendiriliyor. Bazı dans grupları aylar öncesinden hazırlandığı dansları sergiliyor. At eti, kımız ve şişlik etler güzelce mideye gömüldükten sonra aksam düzenlenen at yarışlarını izlemeye geçiliyor. #Bayram #BaharKutlaması #BaharBayramı #Yhyakh #Isyyakh #Isıyakh #nevruz #Tengrians #Turanians #Sakha #Yakut #SummerCelebration #SpringCelebration Farsça adı nevruz dediğiniz bahar kutlamaları / bahar bayramının kökeni binlerce yıl öncesine, izlediğiniz gibi buraya dayanıyor. Farklı anlarda kutlanması iklim ile ilgilidir, güneş ve ayın hareketi ile hesaplanan ve bayramlarda baharın geldigini gösteren bulgulara göre kutlanıyor ve coğrafya iklimine göre değişiyor. Bu da özü doğa inancı oldugunun kanıtıdır. Örnegin hristiyanların kar yağsada yaz havası olsada aynı anda kutladığı günler değişmiyor. Bizim inancımızda doğanın bulunduğun coğrafyaya göre farklı gün ve aylarda kutlanması bunun göstergesidir. Thank you for sharing Maria, just wanted to hashtag it for Turkish, for "some" to see 👀

Good to see you back. We really missed you. It's hard to comprehend we are on the same world, leading such completely different lifes, with complete different rituals. This festival (with I name I can't even begin to pronounce) seems worth a visit (if visitors are welcome). There are so many questions about the religion, the rituals, the ceremonies, and it's good to see so many people attending. I really hope you are doing fine.

[@alexandrvasilev2865]

One year there was an American guy who tried to wrestle with competitors. He was a husband of Sakha woman. And he came to Yakutsk to meet with her family (we call it kütüöttüü kelbit). That was awesome. Before pandemia there was a lot of foreign tourists in Yhyakhs.

Hát igen, remélem jönnek szahák is a Kurultajra. Kazahok, mongolok, türkmének, törökök és más keleti testvérnépek biztosan jönnek. Gyönyörű helyen élnek, a hagyományaik igazán szépek és színesek, hasonlatosak a mi régi táltoshagyományainkhoz. Csak Mariának az a rossz szokása, hogy nem válaszol a magyarok kérdéseire, pedig angolul is sokszor írtam már neki, ez tiszteletlenség, pedig mi is is ismerjük Tengrit. Remélem kicsit felolvad és nyit felénk is, mert így teljesen olyan, mintha egy jéghegyhez beszélnék.

[@CassandraMatts]

​@@k1godwin361Excuse me but aren't Hungarians white people? They are white European people, that's why we indegenous Siberians and Central Asians do not associate with them. I don't consider we are close to Turks even though we have similar languages, it's obvious that we don't have anything in common with Hungarians. Also I know that Hungarians are extremely racist people, that's why we better our gates closed to them.

[@rule_brittania2142]

I know it shouldn't surprise me, as First Tribes and Native Americans came to North America from Siberia, but it is surprising how similar so many traditions are after literally centuries.
