Ancient Türkic myths a myth about the origin of man.

The ancient Turkic myth about the origin of man as the creator of the earth and the progenitor of the human race, calls the goddess Umai. In the form of a white swan, she flew over the water in search of land, not finding her, she laid an egg right into the water, which immediately drowned. The goddess had no choice but to make a nest on the water, but the feathers from which the nest was made turned out to be fragile and the waves broke it. Then the goddess brought out a piece of earth in her beak from the very bottom. Three iron fish were sent by the god Tengri to relieve the suffering of Umai. Umai put the earth on the back of one of the fish, where it grew and formed the entire earthly land. And again, the goddess laid the egg, which gave rise to the entire human race and all living things: birds, animals, trees and everything else. In this Turkic myth about the origin of man, one can see the similarity with the famous legends of China and Ancient Greece. Some divine power creates people from an egg, this is very similar to the Chinese legend about Pangu. It is clear that in the beginning people associated the creation of man by analogy with living beings, the identification of a woman as a lifelonger and worship of the mother principle can be clearly traced.
