: Slides (PPT) explaining Turkish mythology or art history.
The Tree of Life is a universal symbol found across many cultures, but it holds specific significance in the Turkish cultural context:
: In Turkic mythology, particularly Shamanism, the Tree of Life is known as the Ulukayın or Bayterek . It is often depicted as a bridge connecting the three worlds: its roots reach into the underworld, its trunk stays in the earthly world, and its branches stretch into the celestial realm of the gods.
: Digital archives from institutions like the Hrant Dink Foundation or the Ministry of Culture , which often document archeological finds featuring this motif.
