The Importance of Wisdom in Turkmenism

The life of a Turkmen consists of nine stages of 12 years each, starting with childhood and progressing through adolescence. Oguz Khan was the legendary founder of the Turkmen nation, like their Romulus. He divides life up in all these stages, ending at 109, so that's how long you're supposed to live. The country is one of those places where people don't want to have too many girls because they're social cache and having too many boys.
