Birgili Cennetoğlu ve Ege'deki Efelerin Yüzyıllar İçindeki Değişimi

Birgili Cennetoglu is a cry coming from the depths of history. While examining it, you also hear the painful laments of Tahtaci and Turkmen mothers within the five hundred years of bloody history of the Efes. The cries of the gentlemen live in folk songs.

An African proverb says: "Unless lions write their own stories, they will have to listen to the stories of hunters." Unless the Efe nobles write the history of the Efes, the truth will not be revealed.

The history of the Anatolian people is also the history of the Efe people. With new excavations and inscriptions, the civilizational past of Anatolia is becoming more clear. Archaeological excavations and surface surveys make important contributions to this enlightenment. Our horizons are becoming more enlightened with scientific publications.

Beliefs and myths that began with the existence of humankind influenced and guided later religious structures. From these interactions, successive beliefs and religions emerged. Nothing has ever fallen from the sky. Some thinkers attribute the origin of Alevism to the Luwians. Luwians took their place in history as the first people of light in Anatolia. Their capital is Apassa, today's Selçuk. Their blood also flows in the genes of the Aegean people.

The history of the Efes, which started with the rebellion of Börklüce Mustafa, is also a reflection of thousands of years of Aegean accumulation. Abdals and Efes were considered out of order with the dominance of Sunni Islam during the transformation of the Ottoman Empire into an empire in the 15th century. They also became the spokesmen of the people and the pioneers of many uprisings against the Ottoman Empire.

While reading Birgili Cennetoglu, you will also see how the Bâtini and Tahtacı Yoruks were Sunnitized through oppression and cruelty in a five-hundred-year period. Taking an honorable stand against injustice and oppression; As you get to know these people who defended their identity, personality and culture, and who were beheaded and impaled for their beliefs, you will feel a deep you inside you.
