Почему мы неправильно считаем мүшел? Как казахи определяли возраст на самом деле

"So, at 36 or 37?" – this is the question we constantly ask ourselves when it comes to mushel zhas. The reason for the confusion is simple: we live by European linear time and try to mechanically transfer ancient rules to modern reality. Unlike us, nomads didn't celebrate birthdays every year. For them, there was only a 12-year cycle. The first mushel occurred at age 13 – nine months in the womb were always added to the 12 years of life in the steppe. Moreover, a person entered their mushel not on their personal birthday, but together with the entire steppe, when the calendar was reset. And our ancestors, as we know, began the New Year in March – on Nauryz. Therefore, no matter when you were born, your mushel will begin in the spring. #mүshelzhas #kazakhskieobrazhai #historyofKazakhstan 00:00 — What is this episode about? 01:01 — The Unity of Space and Time for a Nomad 01:20 — What is the Cyclic Time of Nomads? 02:30 — What did an invitation to a toy sound like if there was no calendar or clock? 03:48 — Қонақасы — How and why did the custom originate? 04:42 — What was common to different regions of the steppe and replaced the calendar, clock, and compass? 05:33 — What role did the Big Dipper play in navigation? 06:32 — Who are they? 08:03 — Mүshel — What did it actually mean? 09:23 — So when does Mүshel begin? 11:05 — How did nomadic societies determine a person's age? 11:44 — On the mathematical abilities of Kazakh nomads 13:05 — Precise time: when did it appear?
