Abstract
The Great Silk Road played an important role in the history of the peoples, along which the caravan roads went from west to east and from east to west, through which mutual contacts of the peoples living on its territories were carried out. Such international contacts were carried out not only in economic, trade, political, but also in spiritual and cultural terms. This can be confirmed by the fact that some monuments of oral folk art were widespread among many peoples living along the Great Silk Road. The epic monuments “Ker-ogly”, “The Book of my grandfather Korkut”, “Manas” can serve as an example of such interpenetration of cultural artifacts. The purpose of the research is to consider the actual problem of interrelationships of folklore traditions of the peoples of Central Asia and the Caucasus, the history of study and publication on the example of such epics as the Kyrgyz heroic epic “Manas” and the epic monuments “Ker-ogly”, “The Book of my grandfather Korkut”.
