In addition, there is a Turkmen collection of 16 Gorgut Ata stories published by Ata Rahmanov in 1988.
Some of the characters and motifs in the heroic stories of Dede Korkut also appear in the epics or tales of Oghuz Khan (or Kaghan), the legendary ancestor of the Turkic peoples, and his successors, known as "Oghuzname". Around 30 Oghuzname have survived in manuscripts from the 14th to 16th centuries.
