Summary/Abstract: Many historians have some faulty thoughts about the events that people lived were started with the invention of writing or they were deliberately entered this way. Whereas; the human beings were beset the lives that they lived on the rocks by the help of petroglyphs. This is a really curious subject why historians could not see this essence. The next step from petroglyps is ideogram (the sign that experesses the idea directly, a drawing which is symbolized the assets or described an idea). The more advanced and organized form is pictograms (hieroglyphics). The next phase of pictograms is the stamp period. The way from stamp to the language was developed as syllable, semi-syllable and letter in shape. The last phase of these milestones are the Orkhon Inscriptions.The rock pictures on which have some Turkish characters and which is the source of Turkish(Runic) alphabet also reveals the diffusion areas of the Turks and the Turkish culture. Considerin that nothing in the world is not a coincidence, how do we explain the parallelism of rock pictures, figures and writings and the names of the places? Presumably, there are a lot of things about Turks in the world of science... If all these connections, parallelisms, relationships are correctly examined and read or at least they are interpreted, it is certain that the world history will gain light on many dark spots.
