expeditions Lazy ones, ones left behind. (al-Kshghar 1984: II/153) Excavations
in the 1940s by Soviet archaeologists demonstrated that there were indeed settlements
on the eastern bank of the Syr-Darya River in this period. (Tolstov 1947: 57-71)
Culture and Religion:
We know little about the religious beliefs of the Oghuz before their conversion
to Islam. According to the udd al-lam, the shamans (tabbn, doctors)
commanded great respect among the Oghuz, and they controlled their lives and
property. (udd al-lam 1970: 100) Islam started to spread among the Oghuz in the
mid-10th century. Ibn Faln reports that the Lesser Yinl, an Oghuz leader, whom he
met en route to Bulghar, had once converted to Islam, but upon his peoples
opposition he returned to his native religion. (Ibn Faln 1939: 13 [text], 25-6 [trans.])
The Oghuz yabghu did not convert to Islam until 1001-2, when he established an
alliance with the last Samanid Ab Ibrhm (d. 1005) against the Qarakhanids. (Smer
1967: 50)
After the dissolution of the Oghuz Confederation, the idea of unity among
various Oghuz tribes continued to be a political ideal. The Oghuz Khan Narratives
(sometimes called the Oghuz-nma) provided the narrative framework for cultivating
a universalist ideology and legitimizing political power along the unity of the
legendary past. (Flemming 1988: 123-137) For example, the Aqqoyunlu and
Qaraqoyunlu, Turkmen dynasties of 15th century Anatolia and Azerbaijan, as well as
the Ottoman Empire were eager to emphasize their Oghuz background. The
Aqqoyunlu dynasty claimed Bayundur origins, and the Qaraqoyunlu were known to
be from the Yiva tribe, although we have references for their Barani background as
well. The Qay tribe became famous due to Ottoman historians attempts to fashion a
Qay background for the Ottoman family. (Woods 1976: 186-196)
The Dede Korkut 6arratives are the most outstanding literary legacy of the
Oghuz. Recorded in the 15th century, these narratives were set on the scene in
Azerbaijan and Armenia, probably during Aqqoyunlu rule, and tell the story of the
beys, i.e. the lesser rank tribal leaders. (Lewis 1974: 9-23; Tezcan 2001)
