Abstract

Karakalpak folk epics are a huge epic heritage reflecting the people's past, way of life, and struggle for freedom. They differ from the epics of other Turkic peoples in their size, ancient layers, and style of performance. Karakalpak dastans are not just a literary work, but the main source that preserved the spiritual encyclopedia and national identity of the people.
