In early days Türkmens discovered the art of making various tools with molten ores. “The epic of Ergenekon” shows the ancient of Türkmens. This epic mentions the melting of ores from a huge mine, which has a metaphorical meaning, that is, exploring and stretching out to the new territories and world. It conveys a perfect example of the Türkmen sword to the current era. On this sword was engraved, “The Türkmen never unsheathes his sword against his neighbour.” Today, this sword is in a museum in Iran. The making of various tools and materials made of iron and steel spread from the Türkmen plateau to the world.
