A probe into the spiritual life of prehistoric people, a reflection of shamanism in archaeology

of „ the Noble Palace". The Uruk Temple, Egalgin means „the Palace of Justice", the seat of the underworld gods of Anunnak, and so on. We found that Sumerian sanctuaries or temples were always referred to as „house" or „palace" (Kovárník 1997, 26). The designation of the rulers of ancient Egypt was „pharao" meaning „big house," probably due to the development of a „big house" in the royal palace and in ruling power (Kovárník 1997, 26; Verner et al, 2007,178, 262). Bethlehem, the birthplace of Jesus Christ, means „the House of Bread” in translation (Kovárník 1997, 72).

Based on these findings, we assume that the cult character already had real „houses" (sanctuaries associated with ceremonies or houses where important decisions have been made to ensure the proper functioning of

the life of the Neolithic farmers).

From this point of view, the meaning of the house is as a dwelling, then a sacred house / sanctuary, a gathering house (important acts with religious and organizational character) and ultimately the palace with the meaning of government and power (Kovárník 1997, 25-29).

In conclusion, the Neolithic includes prehistoric religions, including the relevant rituals at the level of animism, animatism, demonism and prototeism.

Rituals and cult in the Eneolithic

Shamanism in the Eneolithic could eventually prove the findings of clay drums found of the Funnel Beaker culture such as from the Eneolithic hillfort Rmiz near Laskov, Prostéjov district ($mid 1993, 40, Fig. 17 : 15; 18 : 1), in the Baden culture in Moravia and of the Globular Amphora culture (Bzany, grave) Bohemia and in the Walternienburg group und the
