In the Western perception of history, the general belief is that the cultural levels of the nomadic communities are lower than the levels of the settled communities. This is the earliest form of cultural conflicts between the East and the West. In this sense the semi- nomads, also called nomads, have been shown as representatives of the culture that does not contribute to the development of modern society. Contrary to these false and biased generalizations, the cultural levels of the nomads have also undergone non-stationary and a authentic development process, similar to the settlers. The lifestyle arising from this authenticity made production-based economic activities necessary in a similar manner to the residents engaged in agriculture. Therefore, in terms of cultural perception, it should be kept in mind that the nomad and settled concepts are not expressions that show the level of development, that they represent the authentic forms of civilization, and that development has a relative meaning depending on different living conditions. In this sense, how ideal life should be depending on the living conditions according to different cultures gains importance in terms of the definition, origin and development of civilization regarding humanity. This issue is also important in terms of understanding the place and importance of Turkish steppe culture.
