Abstract
This paper surveys flood myths amongst Turkic people. Even though the flood myths were the object of research by scholars, but the Turkic myths on this theme were left without consideration. The author compares different versions of flood myths among Kazakhs and analyses their genesis. Kazakh myths are officially divided into two stages: before Islam and after Islam. In this article myths before Islam are analyzed in relation with the ancient Aryan tribes and compared with myths in Zoroastrianism.
