Since the Stone Age, humans have understood the importance of creating special spaces for worship. The Trypillians, who lived around 4000 BCE, used small portable altars with legs for their rituals. Recent excavations in Ukraine, particularly in the villages of Maydanetske (Cherkasy region) and Nebelivka (Kirovohrad region), have revealed large temples dedicated to worship and religious ceremonies. A unique discovery from these sites is the ceramic models of temples— over 50 have been found so far. These models typically feature small legs, a rounded porch, round windows, and an altar opposite the entrance.
