Abstract

The conception and creation of eternal samples is one of the most evident efforts made by Man from the very beginning of human life when he observed death and mortality and found all the world's manifestations prone to collapse and destruction. One of the most significant images related to the concept of externality and immortality is circular symbols. In fact, Man has represented the conceptions of eternality by this symbols. This conception has been represented sometimes by mental images and sometimes by visible samples. One of the most important features of this symbols (as that of other symbols) is its floating state which has manifested itself in different ways. Sometimes it represents holiness, sometimes reproduces creation of the universe and some other times entangles with other things indicating identical concepts. In this study, efforts have been made to disclose the relationship between the circle and eternality as well as with other concepts.
