Introducing the Mythological Crescent: Ancient Beliefs and Imagery Connecting Eurasia with Anatolia

by Harald Haarmann and Joan Marler

This study of prehistoric mythical imagery traces symbols and motifs back through time in Eurasia and Anatolia, and examines convergences and interconnections between the two areas. In particular female statuettes and the symbol of the bear mother are analysed to reconstruct a remarkably similar Palaeolithic belief system and cosmology. 161p b/w illus (Harrassowitz Verlag)
