Along time ago on the kazakh steppe, the great bayterek tree grew. this special
tree was called the world tree and it united the upper, middle and lower worlds. its
branches reached into the heavens of the upper world, where two birds called out
the number of days remaining until the end of the world. its trunk belonged to the
middle, or human world, ruled by maadai-kara, and its roots went deep into the
underworld where the god, erlik ruled.
maadai-kara had a glorious reign but as he grew old, he lost his power. one day, he
fell asleep and his sleep lasted for sixty days. when he finally woke up, his enemies
were close. he knew that when they approached even closer there would be a terrible
war. madaai-kara had a baby son, kögüdei mergen. to keep him safe, he decided to
take kögüdei mergen to the black mountain and leave him there, where a poor woman
of altai found him. maadai-kara returned to fight the battle, but he lost and the new
ruler, kara-kula, made all of maadai-kara's people slaves.
