Sample Text	The rug, which emerged as a miracle in the Near East around 8000 BC, influenced almost all societies from the Balkans to China. This work, which is the product of thirty years of comparative research, reveals the rug symbolism inherited from primitive animism. According to traveler-writer Jacques Lacarrière, "Rugs belong to a world of symbols resembling a landscape, a plant, a story, or medieval heraldry containing fears and desires. In their motifs, the fear of death and the desire for fertility are found. Silent prayers are read, almost heard, about the fertility of the soil, the fertility of women, the protection of spirits and the sky, the tolerance of the plant and animal kingdoms." In this financially weak and difficult world, where abundance is constantly in danger and hunger is imminent, poverty is compensated with the richness of symbols. From roses to stars, from wolves to dragons, we have the vital symbols of the nomadic communities of Anatolia, who have managed to create these ropes, these tissues, these figures that protect against fate and contain wisdom, starting from a simple fleece.
