Daniial M. Mahomedov, Ancient religious beliefs of Didos.
The Dido peoples, one of the ethnic groups of Daghestan, had adopted Islam rather late (eighteenth century). This confers a particular interest to these peoples among whom we find traces of former pre-monotheist beliefs. The information that we present herein has been obtained by numerous field studies. Archeological excavations of tombs allowed to discover beliefs in a life after death and yield information on funeral rites. The author reports on tales about the world of spirits, the cult of the mountains, of the white stone, of fire. He describes rites pertaining to fecundity and speaks of figurines representing animals and men. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
