The Cucuteni–Trypillia culture (c. 5500-2750 BCE) of Eastern Europe is renowned for its advanced art, architecture, and spiritual beliefs. Among their most significant cultural artifacts are the Mother Goddess figurines, which are believed to represent fertility, abundance, and the eternal cycle of life and death. These figurines were often used in rituals and ceremonies, symbolizing the deep connection between humanity and the earth.
