Abstract

The article examines Manichaean motives in the Central Asian region that took place in the Mongolian world. The paper analyses complex, rather complicated and difficult to catch religious symbols of early Christian penetrations into the Mongolosphere. The religious content of the canons of Zoroastrianism and Buddhism, whose ideas and practices can be traced in the structure of Manichaeism, also took place among various Turkic and Mongolian ethnic groups and their conglomerations, starting from the 8th – 10th centuries, including also the 13th century.
Keywords:
Mongolian world; Manichaeism; Zoroastrianism; Buddhism; early Christian religious variations; Mongolian and Turkic tribes; Central Asia; religious conversion and reversion
