In calendars and myths related to the calendar, such concepts as an extra day, time outside of time are used. The Greeks called this „epagómenos‟ (extra day), the Persians „fanji‟ (stolen), the Kazakhs „bes konak‟ (5 guests), „bes eshki‟ (5 goats), „bes baital‟ (5 fillies). Extra days are not included in any month either in myths or traditional customs. These days are considered a bridge connecting the old year with the new one. Authors predict that these extra days were the 13th month. In addition, the concept of „mushel‟ is given. The Kazakh people call a 12-year cycle in a human‟s life „mushel‟. The beginning of this cycle is considered to be from the age of 13, and at the age of 13, the 13th organ („ulı mushe‟ in Kazakh) is formed. The Kazakh people refer to the 13th organ as the reproductive, genital organ of a person. The article analyses mythical, ethnographic, linguistic and folklore data applying a point inside a circle sign and its 12 + 1 sample used in modern Kazakhstan mythological science.
