Altun Bishik (Altun Beshik, Altin Bishik, Altin Beshik) is a mythological figure through whom the Khanate of Kokand claimed descent from the Timurid dynasty.
From the time of the last Timurids to that of the first Khans of Kokand there was a period of more than two hundred years.
Faced with this situation, the Khans connected their genealogy with Babur through a legendary figure, “Altun Bishik”.
The legend in various versions has resulted in manuscripts on Kokand historical writings, since the beginning of the 19th century.
Despite it, Altun Bishik and the legend connected with him are not the historical truth.
