Abstract

11.10 ancient religions: general Godsdiensten History, Ancient Mediterranean Region-Religion Oudheid Religion Ebla Syro-Canaanite modern Tell Mardikh Archaeology Religious History Religious Studies
The historical study of the religion of ancient Syria and Canaan (SyroCanaanite, Syro-Palestinian, Northwest Semitic religion) is made difficult by the lack of documentary and material evidence from which to construct a clear and continuous image of religious ideas and practices. The textual evidence from the first three millennia BCE gives a general idea of the main ideas and their development of Northwest Semitic religion.
