Preface
The ancient Turkic-speaking peoples and Kazakh nomads developed (for agricultural and
meteorological purposes) a remarkable lunar-stellar calendar, called “Togys esebi”. This article
explains that calendar in non-technical language, and describes some properties of the calendar.
The principles underlying the Kazakh Nomad calendar are quite simple. The beginning of the
month coincides with the moment when the Moon covers the Pleiades. As the difference between
the synodic and sidereal cycles of the Moon is about 2.2 days, each subsequent meeting of the
Pleiades and the Moon occurs at a lunar phase that is about 2.2 days earlier than the previous lunar
phase.
Because the sidereal period of the Moon – the time it takes to return to the same position in the sky,
such as the position of the Pleiades – is approximately 27.322 days, such a sidereal month, when
measured in whole days, always has either 27 or 28 days.
A year in the Kazakh Nomad Calendar always has either 13 or 14 (sidereal) months. A 13-month
year (almost) always has either 355 or 356 days, and a 14-month year (almost) always has either
382 or 383 days. Like the Chinese, the Kazakh nomads named years by using a cycle of 12 animal
names, and so the sequence of years was thus divided into 12-year periods.

Introduction
What does the word «Togys esebi» mean? In Kazakh, the word or names of the calendar “Togys
esebi” (in Russian “Тогыс есеби”, in English “Togys esebi”) literally means “togysu” (covering,
coverage), * [1] and “esep” (account, calculation, calendar [2]). In its semantic meaning, the term
“Togys esebi” means “Coverings of the stellar cluster Pleiades [3] by the Moon” [4] (in the Kazakh
language: Ai [5] men Urkerdin [6] togysu esebi).
* in the Kazakh language, the word “Urker” means “to tremble with fear” or “a frightened flock of
sheep”
The lunar-stellar calendar “Togys esebi” of Turkic-speaking peoples [7] living in vast Eurasia [8]
was mainly used by Central Asian nomads [9] (Kazakhs, [10] Kyrgyz, [11] Turkmens, [12] Uzbeks,
[13] Uyghurs, [14] Karakalpaks [15] and others), as well as settled peoples living in the European
part of the Eurasian continent (Turks, [16] Azerbaijanis, [17] and others). This is evidenced by
drawings of the moon and stars, as well as star clusters on the national flags of these countries. [18]
1
In fairness, it should be noted that "Togys esebi" were familiar to the peoples of the Caucasus [19]
(Balkars, Karachays, Kumyks, Nogais, Trukhmens, Meskhetian Turks and others), Volga peoples
[20] (Tatars, Bashkirs, Mari, Mordovians, Udmurts , Chuvashs and others) and the indigenous
peoples of the North, Siberia and the Far East of the Russian Federation [21] (Yakuts, Buryats,
Tuvans, Khakases, Altaians, Nenets, Evenks, Khanty, Evens, Chukchi, Shors, Mansi, Karakas,
Shors, Dolgans, Tuvans-Tojins, Telengits, Soyots, Kumandins, Teleuts, Tubalars, Chelkans,
Tofalars, Chulymts and others).
Since ancient times, Urker has been known to cultures of the whole world, including Turkicspeaking peoples (Kazakh – Urker, Turkish – Ulker, Kyrgyz – Urkor, Azerbaijani – Ulkar, Uzbek –
Hulkar, Mongolian – mosques, Kalmyk – Meshin and others), [22] Ancient Greeks (Pleiades),
Ancient Romans (Vergiliarum, Vergiliae), Sumerians (Mul-Mul), Arabs (at-Suraya), Persians
(Piraiin), Indians (Krittika), Chinese (Mao), Japanese (Subaru) and others. [3]
In the oral folklore of the Turkic-speaking peoples, one can find many legends or parables relating
to Urker. The only peoples who managed to accurately plan the calendar time based on the visible
movement of the moon and Urker (Pleiades) in the sky were nomads Kazakhs and Kyrgyz. [23]
Therefore, for all Kazakhs, without exception, “Urker is the most important of all stars” (Urker
zhuldyz agasy). [24]
This calendar was a purely agricultural calendar, with whose help the nomadic and sedentary
peoples of Kazakhstan and Central Asia tried to anticipate weather changes in the harsh continental
climate of Central Asia. There is no direct or indirect, oral or written evidence that in accordance
with the lunar-stellar calendar “Togys esebi” in ancient times pagan rites and rituals were
performed. [25] [26] [27]
Therefore, my idea of reviving this unique type of calendar of the nomadic and sedentary peoples of
Eurasia does not set itself any political goals. As the only developer of this calendar **, I am
categorically against and forbid to include or use it in various political ideas and public intrigues of
pan-Turkism, [28] pan-Islamism, [29] the revival of the pagan religions of Tengrianism [30] and
for other purposes.
** The author of this calendar is all the ancient Turkic-speaking peoples of Eurasia
Because for a thousand years this calendar has been used by the simple nomadic and sedentary
peoples of Eurasia. Nomads used this calendar to successfully raise livestock and increase the
livestock of the four main types of livestock (in Kazakh, “tort tulik”: camel, horse, cow, sheep and
goat).
My wise father Aliseid (dikanshy – gardener), including all the settled peoples of Eurasia, in
accordance with the lunar-starry months of "Togys esebi" planted vegetables and seedlings of fruit
trees in the spring, and harvested a rich harvest in the fall. I still remember the taste of these fruits
and vegetables, so I sincerely wish that this unique calendar serves the people of Eurasia only for
creation, and not for destruction.
When calculating the time for the daily life of mankind, in this lunar-stellar calendar “Togys esebi”,
in addition to the Moon and the Sun, there is a star cluster Urker (Pleiades – asterism in the
constellation Taurus). [3] It is one of the closest star clusters to the Earth and is most obvious to the
naked eye (visible from 6-7 to 9-11 stars) in the night sky.

The stellar month was used in the cultures of the Turkic-speaking peoples of Eurasia as a specific
system for recording the current calendar time and measuring the periods of society's life in
calendar units.
And also the stellar month was used among the culture of the Middle East, India and China for
astrological purposes: they divided the sky into 27 or 28 lunar mansions, characterized by asterisms
(seeming groups of stars), one for each day, that the Moon follows the path among the stars. [31] In
this article we will consider only the calendar aspect of the sidereal (stellar) month.
Coverage is an astronomical phenomenon during which, from the point of view of an observer from
a certain point, one celestial body passes in front of another celestial body, obscuring part of it. The
term “covering” is used in those cases when an object closer to the observer in its relative (visible)
size is significantly larger than a more distant object. In those cases when the closer object in its
visible size is much smaller than the removed one, the term "Transit" [32] is used. These two types
of phenomena are the visible manifestations of syzygy.
Coverage of the Moon – is used to describe astronomical phenomena when the Moon passes in
front of a star or planet in the process of its movement in orbit around the Earth. [33] Such events
are of interest both for astronomy lovers [34] and professionals (many calculations are based on the
results of observation of coverings). [35]
Nomads were not lovers of astronomy, they had no time to admire and hunt for beautiful coverings
to capture them in photographs. They lived in winter and summer together with astronomy in their
yurts (a round wooden house of nomads). [36] Meticulous knowledge in astronomy helped them
survive in the harsh and merciless winter.
In modern Western or European astronomy, this mesmerizing phenomenon of the starry sky is for
some reason called the frightening name “occultation”. [37] It is not known to me whether there is a
connection between the words “occultation” and “occultism,” but the word “occult” [38] itself
causes tremors in the body of unknowing people in astronomy.
The occult (from the Latin word occultus "clandestine, hidden, secret") is "knowledge of the
hidden" or "knowledge of the paranormal", as opposed to facts and "knowledge of the measurable",
usually referred to as science. [39] [40] The term is sometimes taken to mean knowledge that "is
meant only for certain people" or that "must be kept hidden", but for most practicing occultists it is
simply the study of a deeper spiritual reality that extends pure reason and the physical sciences. [41]
The terms esoteric and arcane can also be used to describe the occult, [42] in addition to their
meanings unrelated to the supernatural.
All calendars of the world successfully “live” thanks to intercalation
The author of these lines devoted his entire conscious life to the study of the ancient calendar
(chronological) knowledge of the Turkic-speaking peoples, [7] as well as the more famous
calendars of the whole world. [43] Of course, before me, many scientists of the country tried to
reveal these ancient secrets. But, alas, all their efforts from the very beginning failed, as they tried
to uncover these secrets on the go, using the modern formula of astronomy and mathematics. In this
regard, the most primitive and simple, but at the same time logically correct calculations of my
father Kambaruly Aliseid and mother Saduahaskyzy Apazhan helped me. [25] [26] [27] Based on
their calculations, I made my comprehensive calculations and gradually light began to appear at the
end of the tunnel.
3
When the whole ancient picture of my ancestors was revealed, I invited the Australian scientist
Peter Johann Meyer [44] [45] [46] to work together. Thus, in just three months, we successfully
completed what I started more than thirty years ago. As a result, the scientific world received a truly
unique fourth type of calendar and many more “food” for thought.
The structure and working principle of this unique calendar was based strictly on the stellar month.
The scientific definition of a stellar or (from the Latin word «sidus») sidereal month: The sidereal
month is defined as the Moon's orbital period in a non-rotating frame of reference (which on
average is equal to its rotation period in the same frame). It is about 27.321662 days (27 days, 7
hours, 43 minutes, 11.6 seconds). [47]
It is closely equal to the time it takes the Moon to pass twice a «fixed» stellar (in our case, the
stellar cluster Urker-Pleiades). The heavenly coordinates of Urker-Pleiades: Right ascension 03 h.
47 m. 24 s.; Declination +24° 07′ 00″. [3]
Different stars give different results because all have a very small proper motion and are not really
fixed in position. [47]
The calendar cycles (day, month and year) are structured in such a way as to better follow the
corresponding astronomical cycles: 1. Daily [day and night] rotation of the Earth around its axis
with a period of a solar day. 2. Irregular movement of the moon around the earth [month]. 3.
Uneven motion of the Earth around the Sun [year]. Problems arising from the listed astronomical
cycles are resolved in calendar cycles by using the rules of intercalation (from Latin, intercalate –
attachment, inset). [48]
To correspond to the length of a sidereal or synodic month or a tropical year, periodically days and
months are added to the calendar year. For example, to coordinate lunar cycles with a solar or
stellar year, nomads in certain years added an extra sidereal (stellar) month to the lunar-stellar
calendar "Togys esebi". [25] [26] [27]
In any calendar system, the correct calculation of days and weeks, as well as their correspondence
to the lunar month or the solar year, depends on the correct application of the rules of intercalation.
Not everyone can understand these complex rules. This requires deep knowledge of astronomy,
mathematics and other related disciplines.
"Esepshi" and "Amal" – one whole concept
Among the nomads were gifted by nature talented people. The Kazakh people called them
"Esepshi". This word can be translated word by word as "timekeeper" or as "priest (latin. Pontiff),
wizard, sorcerer, sage, interpreter of dreams, astronomer, astrologer" in one person.
Unlike ordinary people, they were highly educated people. Most likely they could read the runic
texts of the ancient Türks, Chinese characters, Arabic and Persian scripts. I won’t even be surprised
if it suddenly turns out that in ancient times they created their own specific signs, letters and
symbols in order to encrypt their innermost knowledge of astronomy. In ancient petroglyphs on the
territories of Central Asia and Kazakhstan, there are just a lot of such "obscure" signs and symbols.
[49]
Esepshi always carried a folding leather bag (the so-called “Kise”) to count the days of the year,
which was located on the right side of the belt. Therefore, the common people said, "Esepshi keeps
4
all secrets in his Kise". In previous centuries, when the Kazakhs uttered the word "Esepshi", after it
followed another word "Amal." For example, "Esepshinin amaly". These are subconscious,
automatically expressed words developed by centuries. In a word, it is impossible to separate these
words and use them separately. They eventually merged with each other.
“Amal esebi” should not be regarded as an unknown calendar unit. In the literal sense of the word
“Amal esebi” means: “dividing the seasons of the year into short periods during which the weather
in the local climate changes dramatically” Amal is a period of time from 3-5 to 7-9 days. [25] [26]
[27]
Modern science with precise tools and computers is only now approaching the knowledge of
Esepshi and the nomads that they knew thousands of years ago. We will cite only one quotation
from such a scientific work:
“As is clear from figure, where the computed tidal fluctuations of the Earth rotation velocity ν (nu)
are given for 2012, four regimes of the Earth rotation with the unequal duration change during the
lunar month: Two periods of acceleration with the duration m1 and m3 and two periods of
deceleration m2 and m4.The change of regimes takes place in m ≈ 27.3/4 = 6.8 days on average.
However, due to the slow movement of the perigee and nodes of the lunar orbit, this period varies
from 5 to 9 days. For example, the acceleration was registered from May 2 to May 8, 2012, the
deceleration, from May 8 to May 13, the acceleration, from May 13 to May 22, and the
deceleration, from May 22 to May 30, i.e., the lunar month was made up of the intervals of
6+5+9+8 days”. [50] In simple language, the nomads call these short periods of 6 + 5 + 9 + 8
(28) days – “Amal”.
The seven-line formula on the basis of which the lunar-stellar calendar
"Togys esebi" works
One of the leading figures in nomadic (Kazakh) science, candidate of physical and mathematical
sciences, Khasen Abishev (1902-1981), in his book "Aspan syry" (Secrets of the Sky) was very
close to the discovery of the ancient formula of the lunar-stellar calendar "Togys esebi". In this
book, he gave the following formula:
"According to an accurate calculation, 3 years contains 1095.7 days, 37 lunar months contains
1092.6 days." [24, see notes, p. 177]
If the respected Kazakhstani scientist H. Abishev in the 60s of the last century would systematically
develop this formula, he would surely calculate the following basic formula, consisting of 7 lines.
In its structure and principles of use, the lunar-stellar calendar "Togys esebi" resembles a little the
lunisolar calendar [51] of different peoples. A simple mathematical theory of the basic formula:
1) 29.531 days × 37 lunar month = 1092.647 days ÷ 40 stellar month = 27.3162 days;
2) 27.322 days × 40 stellar month = 1092.88 days ÷ 37 lunar month = 29.5373 days;
3) 29.531 – 27.322 = 2.209 × 37 = 81.733 days ÷ 3 month = 27.244 days;
4) 29.531 – 27.322 = 2.209 × 40 = 88.36 days ÷ 3 month = 29.45 days;
5) 29.531 days ÷ 2.209 days = 13.3685 months × 3 years = 40.1055 months;
5
6) 27.322 days ÷ 2.209 days = 12.3685 months × 3 years = 37.1055 months.
7) 1092 days ÷ 3 years = 364 days or 1093 days ÷ 3 years = 364.3333 days.
However, to understand the essence of this formula, the entire conscious life of the author (19852018) was spent on the study. This simple formula in the literal sense of the word is written with
stones on the land of Kazakh nomads. On the territory of Kazakhstan there are thousands of
archaeoastronomical and ethnoastronomical objects left by our ancestors for study.
Mounds, geoglyphs, dolmens, menhirs, cromlechs are the ancient wisdom of nomadic ancestors,
mysterious stone structures and earth mounds scattered throughout Kazakhstan, which for several
millennia have kept the secrets of their origin and destination.
Kazakhstan can rightly be called an archaeo-astronomical country. As a proof of my word, I
presented below the GPS coordinates of 136 known to me mounds, geoglyphs, dolmens, menhirs,
cromlechs, etc. The size of some objects and mounds reaches up to 1000 meters. Therefore, they are
clearly visible from a bird's eye view. To see them clearly, install Google Earth from the Internet on
your computer. And also there is one ancient megalithic structure (Gaiyp Eren kyryk shilten: GPS:
42°8'26.42"N 69°43'32.13"E) whose weight is at least 200 or 500 tons.

Many object still has no name. If you are interested in some objects among them, tell me the ordinal
number. I will tell you what kind of object.
Since the term and concept of “astroarchaeology” by John Michell and “archaeoastronomy” by
Elizabeth Chesley Baity (at the suggestion of Euan MacKie) appeared only in 1973, [52] in our
country many of these objects are still regarded as “funeral-memorial complexes”. Among these
complexes – “the Kurgan 37 Warriors” stands out especially (GPS: 48°25'48.04"N 74°27'30.89"E).
This mound is located on the territory of the Zhidebay rural district of the Aktogay region of the
Karaganda region, 2 km north-west of the village of Korpetay (the old name is Chapaevo). [53]
This large mound with stone ridges, a chain of 37 rounded and oval small stone structures located to
the north of it, as well as numerous menhirs and ring masonry of stones were closely connected
with the above formula. Therefore, this unique mound complex can rightfully be considered the
“Mound of the 37 Moon”. Therefore, this unique mound complex can rightfully be considered the
"Barrow of the 37 Moon" and at the same time the "astronomical madrassah" [54] (educational
institution) of nomads.
Perhaps the wise Esepshi, possessing a deep knowledge of stars and calendars, together with the
"Talabs" [55] (students) could conduct various experiments under cover of night. They may have
been learning the “secrets” of changing the lunar phases [56] and their close relationship with
coverings of the Urker (Pleiades) by the Moon. [01] [37] Perhaps they thus justified a certain
mysterious nomadic “lunar theory” [57] and taught many young “Talabs” this sacred craft. Perhaps
the remains of people who were found by archaeologists in the "Barrow of the 37 Moon" are the
remains of these wise Esepshi, who were buried with all honors by their students. In this world,
everything is possible. Do not rush to categorically deny everything (never say never), first think
about the pros and cons ...
The lunar-stellar calendar “Togys esebi” of the Turkic-speaking peoples for thousands of years
worked on the basis of the above formula. Based on the above formula, it should be noted that there
were five differences between the lunisolar calendar and the lunar-stellar calendar "Togys esebi",
which, when interacting, provided their common rhythm:
1) If in common years [58] in the lunisolar calendar will be 12 months, consisting of 354-355 days,
then in the lunar-stellar calendar will be 13 months, consisting of 355-356 days;
2) If in the intercalary year or bissextile year [59] in the lunisolar calendar there will be 13 months
consisting of 383-384 days, then in the lunar-stellar calendar there will be 14 months consisting of
382-383 days;
3) In other words, in the lunisolar calendar, the months alternate after 29 and 30 days (29.53 × 12 =
354.36 and 29.53 × 13 = 383.89), and in the lunar-stellar calendar, the months alternate after 27 and
28 days (27.32 × 13 = 355.16 and 27.32 × 14 = 382.48);
4) Due to such intercalation or a small noticeable difference of about 2,209 days between the
synodic and sidereal months of the Moon, each subsequent covering of Pleiades by the Moon
occurs in the moon phase, which is 2,209 days earlier than in the previous moon phase;
5) Unlike the lunisolar calendar, where the astronomical new moon [60] or neomenia * [61] is used
as a sign to start a new month, in the lunar-stellar calendar, it uses about 13 or 14 phases of the
moon as a sign to start a new month with an interval of about 2-3 days.

Since the term “neomenia” has an important relationship with the lunar-stellar calendar “Togys
esebi” and this term is not available in the English-language “Wikipedia” (but is available in
Russian), a brief description is given below:
* Neomenia (ancient Greek νέα μήνη – new moon) – the first appearance of the moon in the sky
after the astronomical new moon in the form of a narrow sickle. Depending on the latitude of the
place of observation and the location of the moon in its orbit, the time interval between the new
moon and neomenia changes. In any case, neomenia occurs no later than 3 days after the new
moon. During neomenia the Moon is observed at dusk a few minutes before its setting. In antiquity
neomenia played an important role in the chronology. So in the lunar and lunisolar calendars, the
beginning of the month was counted from neomenia. In a number of countries of the ancient world,
special observations were made of the appearance of the new moon (neomenia). [62]
Unlike the Chinese [63] and Hebrew [64] calendars, in the lunar-stellar calendar «Togys esebi»,
only the first month of the year begins with neomenia, [61] [62] and then, from the second month
through the 13th or 14th month, the months begin with the waning phase of the moon (from the
astronomical new moon again to neomenia). According to my long-term observations, which lasted
more than thirty years, only the lunar-stellar calendar «Togys esebi» can give a connection and
harmony of a person with nature and the universe.
Establishment of a chronology of Turkic-speaking peoples
Chronology (from Latin chronologia, from Ancient Greek χρόνος, hromos, “time”; and – λογία, –
logia) is the science of arranging events in their order of occurrence in time. [65] It is also “the
determination of the actual temporal sequence of past events”. [66] Historical (technical)
chronology is a special historical discipline that studies the counting systems and calendars of
different nations and states, and helps to establish the dates of historical events and the time of the
creation of historical sources. [67]
1. As we all know, the Australian scientist Peter J. Meyer in 2018 developed software for
converting between dates in the Kazakh Nomad Calendar and dates in the Gregorian Calendar. For
the convenience of writing the program, without reference to any historical events, the beginning of
the era of Turkic-speaking peoples and at the same time the 1st year of the lunar-stellar calendar
“Togys esebi” is defined as – 3669 (–3668) B.C. In this chronological installation, the 1st year of
the 1st cycle (3669 [–3668] BC) of the twelve-year-old animal cycle of the nomads of Central Asia
and Kazakhstan corresponds to the year of the Mouse (Tyshkan). Therefore, in this software
P.Meyer [44] – the 1st year of the 474th cycle corresponds to 2008 (Mouse) AD (474 – 1 = 473 ×
12 = 5676 – 3669 = 2007 + 1 = 2008), and the 1st year of the 475th cycle corresponds to 2020
(Mouse) AD (475 – 1 = 474 × 12 = 5688 – 3669 = 2019 + 1 = 2020) etc.
Since until this time or one year after the launch of the program, not one of the world chronological
scientists objected to the establishment of this chronological order by Peter J. Meyer, therefore, this
chronological order could be left unchanged. But this would be wrong on our part, since the
chronology of any nation and its national calendar should have a connection with the past history of
this or that nation.
2. For this reason, the author continued to study the calendars and chronologies of the Turkicspeaking peoples. [68]

About 40 km north of the famous Karakorum [69] in 1889, the tombstone of Kultegin (in English:
Kul Tigin) and Bilge Kagan (in English: Bilgä Qaghan) was discovered. This tombstone has two
inscriptions, one small and one large. [70] [71] And another inscription Tonyukok [72] was found
on the banks of the Selenga. We bring to your attention the 13th paragraph, the 2nd side of the large
stella erected in honor of Kultegin (GPS: 47°33’38.83''N 102°50’27.06''E):
Big inscription in honor of Kultegin. 2nd side. 13 paragraph:
Kultegin passed away (lit.: ‘flew away to Tengri’) on the seventeenth day of the Sheep Year. We
held (his) funeral on the twenty-seventh day of the ninth month. We finished his mausoleum, the
statues and paintings, and his inscription stone on the twenty-seventh day of the seventh month, in
the Monkey {author footnote: Bičin * Urker-Pleiades} Year. Kultegin was at age of forty-seven
{author footnote: when he died}. The Tuyyun Elteber brought all of these sculptors and painters.
[73]
* In the early 2000s, it turned out that the word “Bičin-Mečin-Meshin” was not at all “Monkey”
(animal), but the name of the star Urker (Pleiades), adored by all Kazakhs. Following the evolution
of this term, the Russian scientist D.D.Dondokova concludes that the original meaning of the word
«Mushen» was «the constellation of the Pleiades» (Bičin-Mečin-Meshin, [kaz. Urker], Pleiades).
[74] [75]
From this fragment of the stella we see that the Turkic Kaganate (Kokturki) used his calendar and
chronology in his daily life. Each calendar year of the Turkic Kaganate was named by the names of
animals (the year of the Sheep, the year of Bičin-Mečin-Meshin-Pleiades) in accordance with the 12
year old animal cycle of the nomads, the year was divided into lunar months (ninth month, seventh
month), and the lunar months had a certain number of days (seventeenth day, twenty-seventh day).
All these fundamental structures of a full-fledged calendar prove that nomads were not at all
“savages” or “barbarians,” as many scholars think.
However, to this day it was believed that in this paragraph there is no chronological registration
number of the 12-year-old animal cycle of nomads. Is this true or a mistake? Below we will
consider this issue.
The fact is that without a chronological registration number for a 12-year-old animal cycle, after
about 80-90 years, the Turkic Kaganate (Kokturks) would certainly begin to get confused in its
chronology. Therefore, the author assumes that linguists have lost sight of a very important detail
regarding the chronologies of the ancient Türks. They cannot be blamed for this omission because
they are not experts in this field.
10
If you carefully read the 13th paragraph, on the 2nd side of the large Kultegin stella again, in the
last lines you will find the numbers “forty” (qïrq) and “seven” (jiti). Linguists translated this
sentence as «Kultegin was forty-seven years old {author footnote: when he died}.»
Modern Turkic peoples and Kazakhs still understand some ancient Turkic words. Therefore, you
can clearly read the word «artuq» {author's footnote: additional} after the number forty (qïrq) and
yašïn {author’s footnote: age} after the number seven (jiti). For example, in the above paragraph,
the number seventeen literally means «seven twenty» (jeti jegirmeke), and the number «twenty
seven» literally means seven thirty (jeti otuz). If we follow this rule, the number “forty seven”
should have been written as “seven fifty” (jeti elu).
Of course, I am not a linguist and not an expert in deciphering ancient runic letters. Therefore, I
could be wrong. However, one thought to spin in my head and does not give me rest. It is possible
that the word “artuq” {author’s footnote: additional} after the number forty (qïrq) means the 40th
chronological registration number of a large cycle, combined from seven (yašïn {author’s footnote:
age}) 12-year cycles (12 years × 7 cycle = 84 years).
For clarity, we present all the cycles that are formed on the basis of a 12-year cycle:
1). 12 years × 2 cycles = 24 years;
2). 12 years × 3 cycles = 36 years;
3). 12 years × 4 cycles = 48 years;
4). 12 years × 5 cycles = 60 years;
5). 12 years × 6 cycles = 72 years;
6). 12 years × 7 cycle = 84 years;
7). 12 years × 8 cycles = 96 years;
8). 12 years × 10 cycles = 120 years;
9). 12 years × 25 cycles = 300 years, etc.
For example, in his article on the 12-year cycle, I.V.Zakharova assumes the existence of a 24-year
cycle both among the Huns and among the Turkic peoples, as well as among the Oguz-Kagan tribe.
[76] As we all know, the ancient and modern Chinese use a 60-year cycle based on a 12-year cycle.
[77] However, the 84-year cycle (the “Kultegin” cycle) is the most interesting among all the cycles
and the suitable cycle for our goal. This cycle almost exactly corresponds to the orbital (sidereal)
rotation period of the 7th planet of the solar system – Uranus, consisting of 84.0205 years.
According to astronomers, with a clear dark sky at the time of the opposition of Uranus with the
Sun, it is visible with the naked eye. [78] As for acute vision, our nomadic ancestors always differed
from other peoples. [79]
Chronological table of Turkic-speaking peoples
Based on the above considerations regarding the chronological registration number, the author of
this line for the first time in the history of the Turkic-speaking peoples compiled a scientifically11
based “chronological table” using the “Excel” program. The main core in this chronological table,
naturally appears 12 year and 84 year cycles.

To find the “reference point” in the ancient Turkic chronologies, according to the laws of logic, you
need to find a coordinated “reference time”. As we all know, such a “reference time” is the 731st
and 732th years of our era (death, burial and erection of the Kultegin stella). First of all, we must
make sure that the 40th 84-year long cycle (qïrq artuq – forty extra) and the 8th and 9th years of the
12-year-old animal cycle (jiti yašïn – seventh age) should correspond to 731th year of the Sheep and
732th year of the Mechin of Common Era (for short – C.E.). From this point on, a purely technical
question arises.
In this case, we further see that the 1st year of the Era of the Türks (for short – E.T.) corresponds to
2625 Before the Common Era (for short – B.C.E.). If you carefully look at the following 9
examples (1st and 2nd examples), you will see that, by a lucky chance, this table of the ancient
Turkic era is closely related to the “Julian day” (Julian period) [80] for chronological calculations
(compiled by Joseph Justus Scaliger (1540-1609)). [81] Another amazing fact is that 4713 and 4725
year B.C.E. (2088 and 2100 years Before the Era Türks (for short – B.E.T.) correspond to the 1st
year (year of the Mouse) in the 12 and 84 year cycle of animal.
The 84-year-old cycle of animals, [78] possibly invented by the nomads of Central Asia and
southeastern Eurasia and transferred to Europe by the Hun nomads led by Attila, [79] was probably
later adopted by the British and Irish churches to count Christian Easter.
As an example, I will cite only one quote: “This British and Irish system, on the evidence of Bede,
fixed Easter to the Sunday falling in the seven-day period from the 14th to the 20th of its lunar
month, according to an 84-year cycle (called the – latercus)”. [82] [83] To understand what this 84
year old animal cycle is all about, let's look at the astro-mathematical theory of this cycle together:
Astro-mathematical theory of an 84-year-old animal cycle:
Sunny and stellar year and sidereal (togys) month:
1) 84 years × 365.250 = 30681 days ÷ 1123 months = 27.320569902 days;
12
2) 84 years × 365.262 = 30682 days ÷ 1123 months = 27.321460374 days;
Sunny and stellar year and synodic (tuar ay) month:
1) 84 years × 365.250 = 30681 days ÷ 1039 months = 29.529355149 days;
2) 84 years × 365.262 = 30682 days ÷ 1039 months = 29.530317613 days;
Regarding cyclic and calendar properties:
1) 84 years ÷ 12 year old animal cycle of nomads = 7 cycles;
2) 84 years × 365.250 = 30681 days ÷ 7 days = 4383 weeks;
2) 84 years × 365.262 = 30682 days ÷ 7 days = 4383 weeks + 1 day.
Did the great chronologist Joseph Justus Scaliger know about these astronomical, cyclical and
calendar properties of the 84 year cycle? 430 years have passed since then, it is difficult to
unequivocally answer this question ...

The above chronological table of the Turkic Kaganate (Kokturks) can be called a “tied date” to its
chronological grounds. What this chronology of the ancient Türks looks like is clearly visible in
fragmentary form in 9 examples. If in the future all Turkic-speaking countries and peoples
unanimously accept this chronology, then this urgent topic can be considered closed.
I sincerely hope that the descendants of those ancient nomads who are lost in this vast world, this
time will show a keen interest and solidarity in this vital issue. Because in this constantly changing
14
world, only those peoples and nationalities that have their ancient chronology and calendar will not
disappear.
Ready-to-use lunar-stellar calendar “Togys esebi”
Until today, various authors [84] in different sources on the topic "Togys esebi" wrote very briefly
and unclearly, which led to the emergence of more questions than answers. A good example of this
is a brief note by an unknown author [85] taken from the Internet:
"The star calendar, based on the sidereal cycle of the Moon, in practice is used very seldom. It is
also the most ancient calendar. Such a calendar under the name togys (from Kazakh togysu meaning
"to intersect" [occultation]) was used by Kazakhs. The beginning of months coincides with the
moment when the Moon passes the Pleiades and the names of months correlate with lunar phases.
As the difference between the synodic and sidereal cycles of the Moon is about 2 days, each
subsequent meeting of the Pleiades and the Moon occurs on a lunar phase that is 2 days earlier than
the previous lunar phase. There is a certain relation between the names of togyses months and
seasons. So, for example, in the spring such "meetings" occur on the 5th, 3rd, 1st days of a lunar
month, in the winter – on the 11th, 9th and 7th days. The beginning of a year in this calendar
coincides with the month when the waxing (young) Moon meets the Pleiades. This usually occurs
in a period between the end of April and the beginning of May. In an ancient Kazakh star calendar
there are 13 such "meetings" [occultation] in a year from which only 11 are visible. If every month
contains 28 days then the duration of the year is 364 days".
Although in this and many other articles [84] the principles of operation of the lunar-stellar calendar
"Togys esebi" are described approximately correctly, there are many inconsistencies and incorrect
conclusions.
But now the situation has changed for the better. The author of these lines (together with the
Australian scientist P.J. Meyer) thoroughly studied all the subtleties of the lunar-stellar calendar
"Togys esebi". After painstaking research and work, this unique calendar of Turkic-speaking
peoples has become much clearer. The lunar-stellar calendar “Togys esebi” will become even more
understandable when we present to the reader how it will look in paper form.
In ancient times, nomads had a desire to know the world and the universe, but there were no
opportunities. The role of high-precision visual devices (binoculars, telescopes) was replaced by
their keen eyes, the role of calculators and computers was replaced by numerous mounds of stone
(geoglyphs), menhirs, dolmens, cromlechs in numerous megalithic structures. Therefore, all
observations of nomads over the night sky can be attributed to "rough" observations. Basically, this
was facilitated by difficult meteorological conditions, the sharply continental climate of Central
Asia and Kazakhstan, as well as the unpredictable movement of the Moon, [33] Earth and planets
around the Sun. Naturally, in these “rough” observations, the accuracy of the lunar-stellar calendar
"Togys esebi" fluctuated for 3 days at the beginning of each month (togys ailary).
In order to bring tribute (respect) to the titanic work of the nomad ancestors who created such a
unique calendar, we will constantly celebrate these 3 days in each table. These three epithetic names
on the eve of the covering of the Pleiades by the Moon were invented by the aforementioned caste
of Esepshi and an attentive common people. The most amazing thing is that so far these three
epithetic days have not lost their meaning of creation, purpose and task. Readers will certainly
notice this over time!
15
1) The first day was called “Auyl ui kondy”, literally “Settled near the village”, i.e. the Moon is
approaching the Pleiades from the east. Conditional astronomical name "Arrival".
← South ←
← East
← West
2) The second day was called “Togysty”, “Togamdasti”, literally “Covering, Occultation”, that is,
there was a covering of the Pleiades by the Moon. The exact astronomical name is “Coverings”.
← South ←
16
← East
← West
3) The third day was called “Orip shykty”, literally “Sheep leaves the paddock” or the Moon moves
away from the Pleiades on the east side. The exact astronomical name is "Opening".
← South ←
← East
← West
Coverings of the Urker (Pleiades) by the Moon do not always go as smoothly as shown in these
three figures. [86] For a period of time from 8–9 to 9–10 years (approximately an average of 9
years), the Moon “fully” (full coverings) or “partially” (partial coverings) coverings the Pleiades.
[87] [88]
17
1) The full coverings of the Urker (Pleiades) by the Moon in Kazakh is called “Zharasyp togysu”
(Peaceful covering) or “Koyindasyp togysu” (Hugging covering). In modern astronomy, this
particular type of coating is considered (International Occultation Timing Association – IOTA).
[35]
It will be helpful for the reader to watch an animated video to imagine how these coverings of the
Urker (Pleiades) by the Moon actually happen. [86]
2) The partial covering of the Urker (Pleiades) by the Moon in the Kazakh language is called
“Kyrbaylanyp togysu” (Stretched covering) or “Topyrak shashyp Togysu” (Spiteful covering).
Modern astronomy does not consider this type of coverage due to inconvenience to observation.
However, nomads have used this type of coating along with full coverings for their lunar-stellar
calendar “Togys esebi” for thousands of years.
Approximately, from February 18, 2013 (Mon, 2,456,341 JDN) to January 13, 2022 (Thu,
2,459,592 JDN), it is precisely “partial covering” that occurs. Therefore, during this period of time,
we see such a covering, where the Moon is located just above or below Urker (Pleiades).
Method for determining the beginning of each stellar month
In ancient times and even now, the approximate time of such coatings can be determined visually
using the Polaris (α Ursae Minoris). [89] In the Kazakh language, this most important star of the
nomads is called «Temirkazyk» or «Iron stake». Ai (Moon), Urker (Pleiades) and Temirkazyk
(Polaris) in the same line in the night sky will be only once in 27-28 days and 13-14 times during
each year. From this moment begins the beginning of each new stellar month (togys aiy) according
to the lunar-stellar calendar “Togys esebi”. [25, с. 119-122]
The names of the months of "two brothers" (Eki agaiyndy ai)
Based on the structure and working principle of "Togys esebi", the aforementioned Esepshi and
simple nomads from ancient times called the Sun and the Moon “two brothers”, who have close
family ties. This unshakable and eternal rule is especially clearly reflected in the names of the
stellar months. First comes the names of the months associated with the apparent annual movement
of the Sun in the celestial sphere. [90] After the name of the solar months, follows the name of the
months associated with a visible change in the lunar phase [56] during the lunar month (29-30
days). The names of these two types of months are given in table 1.
However, it should be noted that in nomadic folklore there are many names of the months, even
more than enough. Perhaps this is due to the fact that the nomads of Central Asia divided the zodiac
into 27 or 28 segments relative to fixed stars – one for each day of the lunar-stellar month (27.322
days), [91] as pre-Islamic Arabs (Manazil al-Kamar), [92] the ancient Chinese (Èrshíbā Xiu) [93]
and the ancient Indians (Nakshatra). [94] This assumption of the author requires further thorough
study.

About issues related to the precession and the equinox
The human mind – by cosmic standards, only recently began to wake up. In some areas of
consciousness, we are still sleeping. However, no one can be blamed for this inaction. It takes some
more time so that it is not they, but we who control our mind and consciousness. The splitting of an
atom, sending a rocket into space (to the moon and Mars), creating the Internet and a smartphone,
etc. paradoxically, all these scientific achievements are “children's toys”. If humanity does not
destroy such a unique civilization created by our ancestors (in the near future), after about a
hundred years, human science will understand the new laws and rules that explain how this world
and the universe work.
One of the most obscure phenomena of nature and space is – precession. To understand it
(precession) to the end, we need to live and scientifically document the changes that take place for
about 26 thousand years. Until today (September 2019), we only know these scientific descriptions
of the precession below.
However, one cannot call these descriptions absolute truths or an invariable scientific postulate. If
you look carefully, these descriptions change every time the human mind and consciousness rises to
a new level, after the birth of the “new” Newtons (1642-1726/27), [95] Euler (1707-1783), [96]
Einstein (1879 -1955) [97] and in the future after the birth of other "geniuses" from other nonEuropean races ...
The problem of precession and controversy
Precession is a change in the orientation of the rotational axis of a rotating body. In an appropriate
reference frame it can be defined as a change in the first Euler angle, whereas the third Euler angle
defines the rotation itself. In other words, if the axis of rotation of a body is itself rotating about a
second axis, that body is said to be precessing about the second axis. A motion in which the second
Euler angle changes is called nutation. In physics, there are two types of precession: torque-free and
torque-induced.
In astronomy, precession refers to any of several slow changes in an astronomical body's rotational
or orbital parameters. An important example is the steady change in the orientation of the axis of
rotation of the Earth, known as the precession of the equinoxes. [98]
In astronomy, axial precession is a gravity-induced, slow, and continuous change in the orientation
of an astronomical body's rotational axis. In particular, it can refer to the gradual shift in the
orientation of Earth's axis of rotation in a cycle of approximately 25,772 years. [99] This is similar
to the precession of a spinning-top, with the axis tracing out a pair of cones joined at their apices.
The term "precession" typically refers only to this largest part of the motion; other changes in the
alignment of Earth's axis – nutation and polar motion – are much smaller in magnitude.
Earth's precession was historically called the precession of the equinoxes, because the equinoxes
moved westward along the ecliptic relative to the fixed stars, opposite to the yearly motion of the
Sun along the ecliptic. Historically, [100] the discovery of the precession of the equinoxes is usually
attributed in the West to the 2nd-century-BC astronomer Hipparchus, although there are claims of
its earlier discovery, such as in the ancient Indian text Vedanga Jyotisha.
With improvements in the ability to calculate the gravitational force between planets during the first
half of the nineteenth century, it was recognized that the ecliptic itself moved slightly, which was
20
named planetary precession, as early as 1863, while the dominant component was named lunisolar
precession. [101] Their combination was named general precession, instead of precession of the
equinoxes.
Lunisolar precession is caused by the gravitational forces of the Moon and Sun on Earth's equatorial
bulge, causing Earth's axis to move with respect to inertial space. Planetary precession (an advance)
is due to the small angle between the gravitational force of the other planets on Earth and its orbital
plane (the ecliptic), causing the plane of the ecliptic to shift slightly relative to inertial space.
Lunisolar precession is about 500 times greater than planetary precession. [102]
In addition to the Moon and Sun, the other planets also cause a small movement of Earth's axis in
inertial space, making the contrast in the terms lunisolar versus planetary misleading, so in 2006 the
International Astronomical Union recommended that the dominant component be renamed the
precession of the equator, and the minor component be renamed precession of the ecliptic, but their
combination is still named general precession. [103] Many references to the old terms exist in
publications predating the change. [104]
However, some Russian scientists do not agree with these "firmly established scientific data." The
following is an excerpt from one of these articles:
The analysis of the official justification of the observed precession of the earth's axis indicates its
partial failure, the result of which was a distorted idea of the observed phenomenon – the precession
of the earth's axis. It is shown that the gravity of the Sun and the Moon cannot cause the Earth to
shift the center of gravity from the center of mass inertia. However, precession exists. The existence
of a precession conclusively proves that the displacement of the centers of mass is completely real.
But if there is a displacement, then both the Sun and the Moon must cause, and cause, the
precession of the earth's axis, without causing a displacement of the centers of mass. This explains
the clearly observed periodic dependence of the so-called nutational component of the precession
on the motion of the moon and the sun. The cause of the cone-shaped precession with a period of 26
thousand years is the core of the Galaxy. But the core of the Galaxy cannot be, and is not, the cause
of the displacement of the centers of mass of the Earth.
Thus, the cosmological effect, hundreds of years inaccessible to the scientific community, was
discovered – the displacement of the centers of mass of the Earth for an unknown reason. With full
certainty, it can be argued that the search for the cause of the effect must be sought outside the
framework of the classical and Einstein theories based on the mass equivalence postulate. Such an
attempt has already been made, see. [105] In this regard, it is necessary to begin the search for
factual material, possibly already available, but rejected by the experimenters, due to the
contradiction of the obtained material to “firmly established scientific data”. (Nizhny Novgorod,
February 2014) [106]
The problem of equinox and contradiction
Because of the precession of the Earth's axis, the position of the vernal point on the celestial sphere
changes over time, and the equatorial and the ecliptic coordinate systems change accordingly. Thus
when specifying celestial coordinates for an object, one has to specify at what time the vernal point
and the celestial equator are taken. That reference time is called the equinox of date. [107]
The upper culmination of the vernal point is considered the start of the sidereal day for the observer.
The hour angle of the vernal point is, by definition, the observer's sidereal time.
21
Using the current official IAU constellation boundaries – and taking into account the variable
precession speed and the rotation of the celestial equator – the equinoxes shift through the
constellations as follows [108] (expressed in astronomical year numbering when the year 0 = 1 BC,
−1 = 2 BC, etc.):
The March equinox passed from Taurus into Aries in year −1865, passed into Pisces in year −67,
will pass into Aquarius in year 2597, and then into Capricornus in year 4312. In 1489 it came
within 10 arcminutes of Cetus without crossing the boundary.
The September equinox passed from Libra into Virgo in year −729, will pass into Leo in year 2439.
[109]
Oddly enough, the phenomenon of the equinox also does not do without contradiction. For
example, astronomers claim that at this time we live in the era of Pisces, the era of Aquarius will
begin in about 600 years. However, astrologers of the world argues that the era of Aquarius began
in the twentieth century.
It is noted that the vernal equinox (i.e., the first of the 360° zodiac circle) is not stationary relative to
the stars. She slowly moves back along the circle, passing a distance of 30 ° (i.e. one zodiac sign) in
about 2160 years. Thus, from the sign of Aries, she moved to the sign of Pisces and is currently
moving into the sign of Aquarius. This movement gave rise to the theory of astrological eras (or
world eras), hence the frequent mention of our current "entry into the era of Aquarius." [110]
There are various methods of calculating the boundaries of an astrological age. In sun-sign
astrology, the first sign is Aries, followed by Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio,
Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces, whereupon the cycle returns to Aries and through the
zodiacal signs again. Astrological ages proceed in the opposite direction ("retrograde" in
astronomy). Therefore, the Age of Aquarius follows the Age of Pisces. [111] [112]
Conclusion
For about the last 30 years I have been living not according to the Gregorian calendar, but according
to the lunar-stellar calendar "Togys esebi". Since then, every year I discover amazing things related
to the concept of time and the universe. My conclusions made over the years are completely
opposite to the conclusions of modern astronomers and astrologers.
Perhaps someone or all members of the scientific community will find my version of the "new
theory of precession" complete nonsense. Nevertheless, after thirty years of observing the sky and
after carefully studying the knowledge of the ancestors of the nomads, I deeply suspect that the star
cluster Urker (Pleiades) has a significant influence not only on Earth, but also on the Sun and
Moon, and have close ties with the aforementioned controversial precession. The wind of change
(about our understanding and in general our perception of time) is blowing from the side of Urker
(Pleiades).
I calculated a very simple astro-mathematical equality for the lunar-stellar calendar "Togys esebi",
which clearly shows that the precession period lasts either 47799/47801 years or 23899.5 / 23900.5
years. I called this unique 423-year equality "the Urker (Pleiades) Cycle".
1) 7 days × 22,072 week = 154,504 days = 109 leap ÷ 423 year = 365.257683215130023 stellar year
2) 7 days × 22,072 week = 154,504 days = 79 leap ÷ 435 year = 355.181609195402298 lunar-stellar year
22
3) 7 days × 22,072 week = 154,504 days = 1,819 leap ÷ 5,655 sidereal month = 27.321662245800176 togis ay
4) 7 days × 22,072 week = 154,504 days = 160 leap ÷ 436 year = 354.36697247706422 lunar year
5) 7 days × 22,072 week = 154,504 days = 2,776 leap ÷ 5,232 synodic month = 29.530581039755351 tuar ay
6) 154,504 × 113 cycle = 17,458,952 days = 11,587 leap ÷ 47,801 year = 365.2424007865944 tropical year
7) 423 year × 113 cycle = 47,799 ÷ 2 cycle = 23,899.5 stellar year or 47,801 ÷ 2 cycle = 23,900.5 tropical year
If in modern life our calendar will be focused on neomenia (new moon), as in ancient times, then
we begin to notice that the real spring does not come in the second half of March (March 20), but in
mid-April and early May. In some incomprehensible way, the so-called "spring equinox" is slowly
shifting not to the constellation Pisces and Aquarius, as astronomers and astrologers believe, but
slowly moving towards the constellation Gemini and Cancer.
Perhaps in the near future there will be no concrete evidence in favor of my theory. Because all the
power of human intelligence and financial resources are invested in the current concept and model
of the universe. Although there are many contradictions and misunderstandings in these scientific
statements, modern science will follow it for a while. But we will be forced to stop and think,
because this scientific basis will be distorted and destroyed before our eyes ... just in a hundred
years.
Usually, on the eve of June 20-22, tourists from around the world gather in the famous Stonehenge
(UK) and wait for the Sun to rise, and then again leave for their lands. This picture has been going
on for decades.
However, nothing substantial in this "expectation of something supernatural" does not occur. Very
soon this useless sight will annoy tourists and they will stop coming to Stonehenge to be charged
with the "energy of the universe."
If these tourists had a paper lunar-stellar calendar “Togys esebi” like mine, then on the eve of this
date, in the morning twilight before sunrise, for several seconds or even a whole minute, they would
see with their own eyes the heliacal rising [113] of Urker (Pleiades ) after 37-40 days disappearance
in the sky. This is truly a bewitching picture of a mysterious sky, so at least once in your life you
should look at this unique sight.
This thought prompted me to make for people such a paper look of the lunar-stellar calendar "Togys
esebi". Such a universal lunar-star calendar with corresponding pictures of the phases of the moon
and Urker (Pleiades) and a detailed description of how to use this calendar will appear on my
Academia.edu page very soon. [114]
