THE HİSTORİCAL ROOTS OF THE EİGHT-POİNTED STAR SYMBOL

The beliefs of the Sumerians, considered the cradle of the Ikichayarasi culture, are based on more ancient ones. The eight-pointed star, considered the symbol of the moon god Inna, has passed through different eras of history and has taken root in Turkish culture and Seljuk art. The adoption of Islam contributed to the development of the orthodox Muslim East, especially the cultural and religious heritage of the Turks. We see the number eight as an element of the eight-pointed star on stamps and flags.
