Rise and development of Uzbek national games

According to historical sources, in the Late Paleolithic period, about 40,000 BC, there were totem-related “Bear Feasts” in the northern part of the earth. This holiday is based on the legends dedicated to the bear, which saved the bear tribes from disaster. In return, people married the most beautiful daughter of the tribe to a bear. This holiday depicts a wedding ceremony, which ends with a bear game. Even in the early twentieth century, there was a "Bear Festival" in the lives of some peoples living in Siberia. However, marrying a beautiful girl to a bear can only be said to belong to a mythical reality. The "Bear Game" can be seen in Uzbekistan, as well as in Turkey, India and the Caucasus, where a man is playing with a bear on the streets. They show a small show in crowded places. Perhaps it is also part of the elements of the primitive period that have come down to us from the ancient bear game.
