%X Buddhism has always been questioned, how effective it was in the life of the ancient Turks. There is a perception among the academicians about administrators of Turks are always interested in this sophisticated religion. Similar to other topics related to nomads, archaeological reports are not considered as important as the Chinese chronicles. They are even ignored in some cases. However, if the Kagan had such an approach, the excavation materials could give direct answers to this question. One of the pieces of data that will help us in this regard was unearthed in the excavation held in 2001 in the Bilge Kaghan cultic site. A crown found in this excavation and named after the owner of the cultic site - the ¡°Bilge Kaghan Treasure¡± - may offer a clue about the viewpoints of the ancient Turks (and Uighurs) to Buddhism. This study proposes a different perspective on the approach of the ancient Turks to this religion
