This article examines the manifestation of ancient religious beliefs through material culture, focusing on archaeological findings and artifacts as primary sources of evidence. Material remains such as ritual objects, architectural structures, burial practices, and symbolic motifs provide valuable insights into the worldview, spiritual perceptions, and religious traditions of early societies. By analyzing these sources, it becomes possible to trace the evolution of sacred concepts, the role of religion in social organization, and the interrelation between spiritual life and economic as well as cultural development. The study emphasizes the significance of comparative analysis of material evidence from different regions, which allows for a more comprehensive understanding of the diversity and commonalities in ancient religious practices. Ultimately, material culture serves as a crucial medium for reconstructing the origins and development of early belief systems, offering a deeper perspective on the spiritual heritage of humanity.
