This article is a triggering point to some independent researches about the deities worshipped in Kurdistan prior to the Christianity, one of which was the goddess “Shawshka”.
Statues made of mud have been found in the ancient settlements such as Sarpeli Zahaw, Hawler, Noozi, Amed,…etc, and all of them were in the shape of a female. Archeologists and historians believe that those statues must have represented the
mother goddess.
Human beings (both male and female genders) have from the childhood the image of mother in their mind, since mothers are the ones who play the most important role in bringing up children, hence the cuddle of mother stays as the warmest and safest place for children.
In the Paleolithic and Neolithic eras, the class and level of mothers were different from those of the contemporary mothers.
