The falsification of history is quite common. History is seen as a reliable source of political ideology, especially in the newly created independent states of Central Asia, where historical and epic figures have been announced to be national heroes: Amir Temir in Uzbekistan, Samanids in Tajikistan, Manas Hero in Kyrgyzstan. The demise of the strong Soviet ideology of Homo Soveticus and the social order based on class struggle after the decline of the Soviet Union brought about the reconstruction and reinterpretation of history to serve new political goals and interests. Meanwhile, the Kyrgyz Republic is a young state that did not appear until the 20th century as a result of the national-territorial delimitation of Central Asia. With the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, Kyrgyzstan became an independent state. It appeared to be the first independent Kyrgyz state ever created by Kyrgyz people in their history. Although Kyrgyzstan is a new state in Central Asia, numerous attempts have been made by the government and official historians to ancientize the history of Kyrgyz people, especially the history of Kyrgyz state.
