Tout d"abord il faut constater que la religion dite "hittite" contient des éléments empruntés par les Hittites à divers systèmes culturels. Les composantes décelables dans la religion hittite et qui appartiennent à différents noyaux ethniques sont par ordre d"importance: la composante hattie, l"indoeuropéenne (c.-à-d. hittito-louvite) et la hourrite. Ce n'est pas sans raison que les recherches sur la religion des Hittites se scindent en deux grandes approches méthodologiques : l'une refuse toute idée de la formation du système religieux ordonné chez les Hittites. Par conséquent, la coexistence chaotique des différentes traditions ou bien de certains éléments constitutifs de la religion des Hittites se retrouve sous l"appellation religions anciennes (ou de la période hittite) de l'Asie Mineure. L'autre approche méthodologique suppose l'existence d'une forme de système religieux plus ou moins ordonné, chez les Hittites. C"est ce point de vue que j"adopte et je vais essayer ci-après d"en esquisser les grandes lignes, concernant la formation de ce système et des changements qu"il a subi.

Both the texts and the archaeological material confirm the coexistence of various burial traditions, inhumation and cremation in particular. Beliefs about the death of the king, his family members and their afterlife should have been an integral part of the royal ideology; consequently, a more or less arranged system might still be expected. However, here too may we notice the inconsistencies, ambiguities, or elements of different concepts, that can be explained by the meeting of two cosmological systems. The emergence of cremation could be viewed in this context.
