From what I've read, Kyrgyzstan sounds like a pretty cool place. I'm pretty interested in this "Epic of Manas" I've read about. It sounds pretty cool.
Is it a religious story, or is it just a tale of a hero similar to other epics?
Yes, "Epic of Manas" is just a tale of a Kyrgyz hero like Homer's "Iliyada" and "Odiseya" (sorry, if i write wrong in english). And this epic has two sequels - "Semetei" (son of Manas) and "Seitek" (son of Semetei). I'll try to find electronic version this books in enghish.
Unfortunately, I badly know all history of Kyrgyzstan and kyrgyz's culture in spite of the fact that I live in this country. But if you have a questions, I'll try to give an answer.
Hmm, ok. Well hi! Oh, and didn't anyone else notice some flaming in here...."he's just being a dumbass", i think that could be considered flaming!!...
You should ban me Klo.
EDIT: I just found it necessary to point out to you that just in another thread you were saying people have been getting banned for stupid reasons and you seem to have a problem with it.
Am I incorrect to assume, from what you're saying, that you only want the rules inforced if they aren't inforced against yourself or your bitch(Thanatos)?

Umm, excuse me? Don't drag me into this.
And if anything, Klo is my bitch. Get your facts straight.

From what I've heard, Epic of Manas is incredibly, incredibly long, compared to either the Iliad or the Oddessy. Aren't there special "singers" that sing the Epic of Manas or something like that?

Epic of Manas is really more longer than the Iliad or the Oddessy. And it's true, that there are people who knows all of it and sign it (something like rap without any music or partly to the accompaniment of komuz - national instrument). They are called as "manaschy".

Hmm, maybe I can find a recording of the stories. I know some guy wrote a book that follows the story of Manas, but I don't recall his name.
You seem to speak english pretty well, sadly there are people here whose first language is english and you speak it better than them.
Just curious, why is this the only thread you're posting in? There are plenty of others here at Zelaron, and I think you would be a great addition to the community if you're interested.
