Almas (cryptozoology)
In Caucasian Folklore, an almas, alma or almasty, is a cryptid, folk creature or deity said to inhabit the Caucasus, Tian Shan and Pamir Mountains of Central Asia and the Altai Mountains of western Mongolia. Etymology The term "almas" and numerous variants thereof appear in Mongolian, Turkic languages and Iranian languages. Writing in 1964, scholar P. R. Rinčen says that "the origin of the old name is quite unknown … and it does not lend itself for translation in other languages". The name is connected to a variety of place names (toponyms) in southwestern Mongolia, including Almasyn Dobo ('the Hills of Almases'), Almasyn Ulan Oula ('the Red Mountains of Almases') and ('the Red Rocks of Almases').

The folk traditions of Darkhad include the deity Almas khara Tenguer, meaning 'Almas the Black ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
