Anatolia-Caucasus: A Structural Reading of Sacred Spatial systems (Structured Landscapes)

By Jean-Marc Bélot

From Mesopotamia's northern heights to the Caucasus and the Aegean, a new reading of mountain landscapes.
From G bekli Tepe and the Taurus to Lake Van, the Armenian Highlands, Colchis, Hattusa and Sardis, this book explores how mountains, sanctuaries and corridors organize space. Six regions reveal distinct functions: emergence, power, memory, frontier, transformation and transmission. Neolithic sanctuaries, Urartian fortresses, Hittite centers and ancient routes illustrate the importance of elevation and passage. Drawing on archaeology, historical sources, maps and comparative models, Jean-Marc B lot offers an original structural reading, distinguishing documented evidence from exploratory hypotheses and tracing connections between sacred geography, political power and territorial organization.
An exploration of Anatolia and the Caucasus through the structures connecting mountains, passages, beliefs and civilizations.
