Abstract

The human is a symbolic being in his nature, as he deals since his beginning with symbols at all times and places. Each human being has his own symbols, concepts, abbreviations and style with everything that he fears or loves, also his symbols that inspire his loved ones and protect them from enemies. A symbol has a significant value since the beginning of time, as humans have created several and multiple forms for symbols, through which he could establish his wide intellectual kingdom through crossroads of time and place, he was also able to form a methodological tool and study religious doctrines.

Symbol with all its variable spiritual significances has been linked to all types of arts across ages at different time and place, as archeological arts across history have been characterized with symbolic features that distinguished them from other arts.

A symbol is an infinitely complicated, social, cultural and cosmic phenomenon by all measures, hence the study of limitations of the symbolic phenomena and determination of its dimensions is forming an important, urgent, intellectual and cultural need.

• Has the form of the symbol evolved in archeological models and has it been affected by the previous ages?

• Are there spiritual meanings and significances linked to the use of symbolism at the various archeological models?

The research aim: Description and analysis of some archeological models to identify spiritual meanings and significances linked to the use of symbolism at different ages.
