Abstract :A visitor approaching Turkey, seeking to learn from others and offering in return the modest ability to reflect that he developed, sees, over time, numerous images come before his eyes. These images chase each other, compose, decompose, and recompose like in a kaleidoscope. Each of them shows different aspects of human society\'s life. Some images speak to the intellect, others to the heart. There are images from the distant past, such as the Hittite deities in Yazılıkaya. The coexistence and joint movement of these images demonstrate the ancient Anatolian humanity\'s effort to unite with others by embracing the diverse deities of each group. This significant effort towards the development of inclusive democracy, unity in diversity, is engraved in stone.
