The relationship between theology and architecture; A Explaining the architecture of the ancient Temples of Harran Sabeans based on historical texts

Throughout human history, godly thoughts and beliefs exist as a part of culture and have caused the appearance of religious beliefs. In the meantime, architecture as a platform for these cultures has created special religious buildings. One of the religious buildings whose physical structure was influenced by religion is a place of worship. In the meantime, the Sabean temples are one of the very strange examples that no traces of their original buildings remain, but they are mentioned in historical texts as mysterious buildings that have not been investigated separately in research. Therefore, the purpose of this qualitative research is to explain the typology and the roots of diversity in the physical structure of the structures of this ritual. This research intends to examine the religious foundations of the Harran Sabian faith in the architecture of temples from the examination of historical evidence and texts and to explain the structure of the buildings and the relationship between the structure and the hidden meaning of the architecture. The results show that different spatial elements are used in religious architecture to express the beliefs of religions, and an element such as a symbol and a sign is used in the form of an artistic work as a bridge to convey and instill religious concepts.
