Shulgan or Shulgen (Bashkir: Шүлгән, Turkish: Şölgen) is the king of Waterlands[1] in Bashkort and Turkic mythologies.
The beginning of the legend "Ural Batyr" tells about two boys born on an island, surrounded by the ocean.
A woman (Yanbike) and man (Yanbirde) have two boys named Ural and Shulgan.
Today Shulgan-Tash Cave is located in the country of Bashkiriya.
In Bashkortstan the cult of Shulgan-Tash[3] has survived to the present, reflected in many ancient eposes of the Southern Urals.
