Origin Genesis of myth is also time, therefore, how mythological figures have made their way through Kurdish hand-wovens (carpet, rug, Carpet) depend on society conditions in accepting and adsorbing mythical stories. The research which is a field and theoretical research takes different hand-wovens in different museums including national carpet museum observations into consideration.
