Figures of Turkish Mythology
Erlik Han
Erlik Han is the God of Evil in the mythology of Turks and Altai. Erlik Han is the master of the underworld in Tengriism, the belief of the ancient Turks. (Also called as Yerlik). The Mongols calls him Erleg or Yerleg. Although he is a kind of gin used today as a demon, he is a god of spirit that symbolizes evil. According to a creation legend of the Altai, Erlik Han made a bad fortune against Tengri in the creation of the world, and Tengri made him the master of the underworld as punishment. Erlik Han sits on a silver throne in a palace of green mining on the lowest floor of the underground world. There he created a sun that shone in dark red and gave very little light. There are nine bullheads in his order.

thank you for your interest @bobrock :)
that confueses me a little bit because in the ottoman empire, they tryed to teach only islamic influences and the turkic mythology was forgotten for hundrets of years by the ottoman turks. in the last 50 years the turks from turkey have learned back from turks from sibiria, altai to middle asia what there mythology is and there real past. :)

You didn't understand me well, I was thinking that because of turkish presence in our land, I have interest to explore your culture, religion, history, because you were here so long. And because of that I know something about your mythology. :)

I think I was wrong. Sorry for it @bobrock. I was only a little surprised because, for example, the North Africans were among the Ottomans too, but they only Islamic things and nothing about Turkish mythology. I think your interest is great in our culture and history ;)
