Throughout human history, trees have become an important element with both cultural and religious significance in various ancient societies as well as in early Turkistan and its surroundings. In these societies, trees are regarded as symbols of life and are associated with concepts such as fertility, protection, and immortality. This culture has been similarly adopted by other ancient Central Asian peoples, including the Altai. The sanctification of trees has been an important element in shaping social structures and belief systems. Trees have held a sacred place in the lives of Turkic peoples, particularly in nomadic societies, where living in close harmony with nature led to the widespread practice of worshipping trees, protecting them, and developing ritual relationships with them. People believed that the spirits of their ancestors lived in trees and protected them. In addition, certain tree species were considered symbols of the gods, and large, old trees in particular were seen as spiritual protectors of nature, with rituals performed on them. These ritual systems, closely related to Shamanist teachings, served as a bridge connecting trees, people, and nature. The tree cult in the Altai Mountains, as a reflection of the relationship between ancient civilisations and nature and sacred beings, has enabled similar traditions to emerge in different geographical areas. The geography of Anatolia is one of the most important examples of this influence. Anatolia is a region that has historically been influenced by many different cultures. These interactions have left deep traces on the tree cult. The peoples of Anatolia have considered certain trees sacred and viewed them as symbols of nature and life. Elements of the tree cult in the Altai Mountains have merged with the local belief systems of Anatolia to form a new cultural blend. Beliefs about the sacredness of trees have become intertwined with the traditions of the Anatolian peoples and have shown parallels with tree figures in local mythologies. This study attempts to examine how the ancient tree cult, which extends from the Altai Mountains to Anatolia, has been shaped in historical, cultural, and religious contexts.
