Fertility was a major concern for human beings at early stages of existence. The fundamental reason for this was both an increase in the race and the survival of the nation. According to their entrenched belief that all successful steps necessitate the God’s blessing, fertility, similarly, was seen as a sign of blessing. In some other Mesopotamian and Mediterranean regions, the fertility goddess was represented by such symbols as the genital organs of the woman, such as rhombs, the obvious genital shapes, and pubic triangle. The data collection was based on archeological works carried out by teams from the Directorate of Antiquities in Duhok, a city in Iraq’s Kurdistan Region in 2019. The discovery of numerous mother goddesses refers to the important role that God’s blessing in fertility plays in the life of the people settled in this region until today. This belief is also present in Kurdistan Region of Iraq. In ancient Kurdistan region of Iraq, we observed a number of fertility goddesses and the God of desire, which reflects the importance of reproduction concept among those nations, who lived in this region.| Pages | 37-40 |
