While gods such as Ishtar, Amun, Hathor etc. travel in celestial and earthly realms, the way these travels conducted, the theology reflected on such movements as their purpose had political motives in their core.

Furthermore, through the examination of relevant sources, an effort to review aspects of ideology behind such movements will be made. In addition, the demonstration of gods and their movements as an ultimate tool of diplomacy will be attempted in order the internal needs of propaganda and reinforcement of monarchy being demonstrated.
