The article analyzesthe field materials collected during the project implementation in the territory of the Altai Republic andreveals historical relationships between the traditions of oral literature of the Central Asian peoples ofthe heroic epochs of the Altaians.the mythological stories in the songs of the Altai batyrs were comparedwith the stories of Russian written monuments and Kazakh myths. During the field expedition, we wereable to restore the description of the structure of the image of the world in the worldview of the Turkicpeoples in the process of selecting a legend. Mythological prose demonstrated archaic mythological andreligious ideas of the Altaians about the surrounding world, natural and social reality. In this context, weshould note the complexity of the space-time worldview of the Turks, in this sense, we can not clearlyspeak about the simplicity of objects in the world. Comparative analysis of Altaic myths with Kazakhmyths leads to the conclusion that the ancient Turks perceived themselves as an integral part of theworld. According to the ancient Turkic worldview, we will note that people and nature appear as anintegral part of the existence of the world, they justify the worldview philosophy about the culture of ecological attitude to the environment, respect for nature, the cosmos and its laws, the peculiarities ofthe relationship of nature, society and man.
