Since my first years at the University, I have participated in the Center of Studies of the History of the Ancient East (CEHAO-UCA), and in different activities held at this institution, such as collective projects of research, the editing of the center’s Journal (Antiguo Oriente) and newsletter (Damqatum). At the moment I am developing research for my PhD dissertation about the Hittite representation of landscape, which is based on a multidisciplinary approach to Hittite mythological texts –both from Anatolian and foreign origin. Following this line of research, and as a consequence of my interest in the different interpretations of the natural world among Ancient Near Eastern societies, the present article is based on an anthropological analysis of Assyrian reliefs of the ‘Sacred Tree’.
