The Epic of Manas is a lengthy and traditional epic poem of the Kyrgyz people of Central Asia. Versions of the poem which date to the 19th century contain historical events of the 8th century; however, Kyrgyz tradition holds it to be much older. The plot of Manas revolves around a series of events that coincide with the history of the region—primarily the interaction of the Kyrgyz people with other neighbouring peoples.— Wikipedia
