Abstract
This article discusses Altai myths with the mention of the name of the character Tyanar,
published in the work “Altai aliens” by Vasily Verbitsky. However, in order to clarify the primordial character
of the Tyanar in the Altai myths, we find out the history of the recording of myths by Verbitsky, and analyze
the myths about celestial characters. For the same purpose, we find out other Altai mythological stories
about the messengers of the heavenly world in the Altai cosmogony and compare them with the Yakut stories
in which the character Tanara is present. The article traces the cult of Heaven in the Sakha (Yakutia) in terms
of comparative and shamanic ritual with the poetry of Altai, Khakassia, Tuva and Buryat. We analyzed
similar terms for the concept of Heaven and destinations that symbolize the worship of heaven. The author
believes that the cult of Heaven in the Sakha (Yakut) kept the general typological features. It manifests itself
in ritual and ceremonial complex of Ysyakh festival. Sky personified Urduk Ajyylar ‘Supreme Deity’, on
presentation of the Yakuts, living in different layers of heaven.
