Seme visit as an example of mountain cult in Sivas reflected into the present
Öz
Mount cult has been an important public belief in many communities from prehistoric ages to today. Humans have thought that the natural phenomenons that they cannot explain the meaning of, are created by supernatural powers, namely gods. And they have chosen mysterious and unreachable mountains as the places where their gods with great powers live. In time, mountains have been accepted both as a god and as a place where gods live. In ancient Anatolia, the mountain cult appears as an important public belief, especially in Hittites. Although the written sources on Hittites have fallen into silence in 1200s B.C., we know that Hittites continued to exist in Anatolia through long ages. Today, in Anatolia, it is still possible to see the traces of Hittites in some public beliefs. Another factor that has an effect on the mountain cult belief in Anatolia is that the ancient Turkish pubic beliefs mostly continue their existence in the Anatolian Alevism by changing their identity. In our study, we will try to discuss the mountain cult beliefs in different communities and especially the effect of the Hittites mountain cult belief in Sivas to the present.
