Linked by an intense friendship of mutual inspiration to Marija Gimbutas, whom he had known since the XNUMXs, together they interpreted some of the most powerful and enduring symbols of the Goddess as giver of Life and Regeneration. Observing and comparing the splendid repertoire of images of Çatal Hüyük, which generated the symbols still present today in sacred iconography, Ghassul captures the evolutionary hub of that coherent system of the sacred which unfolds over thousands of years from the caves of the Upper Paleolithic to at the end of the Minoan period in Crete, and in the East it flows into female divinities such as Inanna, Ishtar, Aphrodite. Her contribution on the symbols of death is extraordinary, originating from the immense black vultures with white eyes of Catal Huyuk and reproduced in the Ghassulian ritual masks, known as the "Spectres".
