| Summary: | Ancient Hittite sources call the otherworld the "dark earth", and describe it as a place that can be accessed through watercourses, springs, and caves. Rituals are performed to facilitate the deceased person's journey to the otherworld. Of particular relevance are rituals for the dead king whose status as a royal ancestor forms part of the royal ideology. Even after the fall of the Hittite Empire, some of the Hittite afterlife beliefs continue to shape afterlife beliefs in south-eastern Anatolia and northern Syria in the lron Age. |
