Fire consciousness in “Jangar”

Abstract

The previous study of the phenomenon of fire in the epic “Jangar” by our predecessors allows us to draw preliminary conclusions. Firstly, speaking about the reflection of ancient beliefs in the “Jangar”, first of all it should be said that the burning of the body of a slain enemy by heroes was undertaken to prevent the rebirth of the soul or body, environmental pollution and the spread of epidemics. Secondly, fire was seen as a symbol of power. Thirdly, the origin of fire in the “Jangar” is connected with the classical law of friction. The production of fire has put the force of friction at the service of man. However, scientists are still far from fully understanding the physical foundations of this phenomenon. Since all manifestations of fire in “Jangar” have not been systematically studied, two aspects have been analyzed: manifestation and use, based on the scientific study “23 chapters of Arimpil”, to reveal how fire is manifested and used in other ways, and to complement previous research on fire in” Jangar”.
