Legend of Uğuz Meadow and Uğuz Mountain
The ancients say that even before the Georgian Empire, before the Genoese-Romans (Genoese-Romans) appeared, a very large nation called Uğuz (Oguz) lived on the Uğuz Mountain and the surrounding plateaus. These Uğuz people had a lord who owned all of Ardahan, Akhılkelek, also called Cavk, and Zegan (the Ilgar and Cin Mountains of Posof and the foothills of Mount Arsiyan on the border of Şavşat). This Uğuz's mountain and the winter pastures around it and on the Kura water were the special pastures of this bey. The other mountains and the aforementioned places were always pines and forests at that time.
The meadow of Uğuz near Uğuz Mountain, where 300 carts of grass were mowed every year, was mowed every summer by a Uğuz. The man who mowed it was a very big man who lived nearby. This Uğuz would mow and pile 300 carts' worth of grass of Uğuz's meadow in one day.
One summer day, while Uğuz was mowing the meadow with a scythe, his sister was bringing him lunch. While Uğuz was working angrily in a lush part of the meadow, the mist of his own sweat clouding his eyes while he was dealing with the mower in the heat, he did not see his sister who was bringing lunch with a saddlebag on her shoulder and approached him, and he cut her in half along with the grass. He didn't even realize he was doing it. When he came to his arm, Uğuz tried to hit his scythe with the table he took out of his waist and realized that his scythe was stained with red blood.
"Did I kill an animal?" he said, pitying himself, and immediately went around that arm's length. What did he see? He saw that he had cut his sister, who had brought him his lunch, in half. In a rage, he hit the table on the ground, and half of the table, which was made of white stone, stuck in the meadow. Today, the part that is left out is taller than a man. Stamping his hands on the ground and putting down the scythe, he immediately joined the two parts of his sister and buried them at the bottom of the table. He himself climbed to the top of the Uğuz mountain out of grief and died there.
