THE IDEA OF MAN AND DIVINITY IN ANTIQUITY PART I: Gods and temples of Palmyra
Journal Title: Miscellanea Anthropologica et Sociologica - Year 2014, Vol 15, Issue 3
Abstract
The paper is based on a lecture given at the University of Gdansk in 2010. Four sanctuaries that have been excavated in Palmyra are briefly presented according to the latest research. The principal sanctuary of Bel and those of Ba‘alshamin and of Nabu are published by their excavators. The ideas about the cult of Bel as formulated forty years ago can now be reconsidered. The sanctuary of Allat, the last to be excavated, was already presented in several preliminary papers and the final publication is nearing completion. Some observations concerning this sanctuary are submitted here for the first time.
