Abstract
Sacred or deified mountains can be found in Indian traditions (for example, the Vedic myth in which �Indra cuts off the wings of the mountains�), and in pre� Indo�European (Hattic) Anatolia, with its invocation of the mountains in rituals of royal consecration. The Luvian hieroglyph which stands for �God�mountain�, could have originated in the ancient pre�Indo�European graphic symbol for sacred royalty.
