As it is known everything was going from generation to generation in an oral way. The Soviet investigator during his tour in Kyrgyzstan in the 20th century heard it and decided to make a written variant of it. The epic consists of 500,000 lines of text. And of course everything is going under the accompaniment of musical instruments. The men who make a representation of the epic are called manaschi and the ones who make an improvisation are akyns.
